In the Process of Leaving the US
So, the anticipation is building as I go to one airport security, wait to board, wait to take-off, enjoy the ride, wait to get-off, and then wait to board again... I'm ready to be on the last... or next to the last rather, leg of my journey. I'll upload ...
The Birth Place of Nascar
... free parking at the ZMAX dragstrip right accross from the speedway. Sure enough we crested a hill and there it was, not only the Charlotte speedway but also the ZMAX dragstrip and a dirt oval track. I had to have Cheryl pinch me, I thought I was ...
Day 1 - Getting there
... walking down the gangway stairs, I get hit with the humidity and heat...so much better than the cold rainy nastiness I left in Charlotte. I walk right up to Customs/Passport control and seriously because I timed it...it took me less than a minute to walk ...
Weather delays
Bad weather in various parts of the country is causing flight delays. We do not leave until 3:30, putting us three hours behind schedule. Our layover at O'Hare was only two hours, so unless our connecting flight is also delayed, we will miss ...
Stuck
... everyone! I finally shoved all my things into two big bags and made it half way to Nassau! Unfortunately, my flight from Charlotte, North Carolina to the Bahamas was cancelled last minute due to weather conditions in Nassau. I'll figure out some ...
Down town Queen city
On a beautiful summer Saturday we all decided to take the light rail up to Down Town Charlotte to walk around and enjoy the city. We mainly walked around the Epicenter and stopped to take crazy pictures of the skull sculpture and the fire bird. ...
Back Home
This is the part of the trip I like the least: coming home. This is where the magic ends and real life resumes. I will never forget all that Belgium taught me: 1. I didn't like beer before, and I don't like it now. 2. In politics, there ...
With a lot of delay...
Trying not to be too late for my flight to Seattle. We ran, it all worked out and I was sitting on the plane, staaarving!!!! ...
Charlotte to Washington Dulles
Leg 1 of our trip to Rome Italy. Airport is pretty calm and Bonnie and I flew through the security check point . Pretty easy! Can't believe this trip is here. Had a great time with Trudy and her husband last night. I will be staying with them again on ...
I love this place
So I decided that we should go to the Whitewater to spend the day outdoors. We had been before but just for a concert and had not tried all everything they have to offer. You can check out everything here http://usnwc.org/ It was our first time ...
Taking the Leap
My job at Mergent Inc. has come to an end. All of us view this job as somewhat stable, a necessity to pay bills, and comfortably repetitive. It is very hard for most people to actively give it up and venture away from the comfort zone when so many ...
2 weeks from today
Times ticking fast now, the list is still a mile long. Need to complete kitchen renovation plans before I leave, the pressure is on. Woke up at 5:30am with fast brain. I will be chugging thru the next days.... set up skype, ...
Pulled Pork and Collard Greens
....I'm back... It is weird because it has been over 9 months since I have been here...but I'm back...I arrived today after spending a week in my college town of Greensboro, NC. I spent a terrific week with friends and catching up on far to many ...
10 months and a world of experience
No words except those of of T.S. Eliot : "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of our exploring, shall be to return to where we started and know the place for the first time." ...
Looking for a way...
Like many people, I am a struggling college student. I am enrolled full time and set to graduate next May with my BA in Psychology. I am applying for graduate school next semester so that I can work towards my master's degree in clinical health ...
Finally here
... kept my original flight listing. Instead, thinking I was being smart, I listed for an earlier flight in hopes of getting into Charlotte early. All this did for me was give me extra reading and people-watching time in the Houston airport. I wasn't even ...
Flip flops & ice cream cake start us off right
... year (hey, we won the competition), and Jen and I have remained close friends. I've stayed in every place she's lived in Charlotte (five?) since she relocated here in 2001, and we were each in the other's wedding. Jen was an intern at D&E ...
Bechtler Museum of Modern Art
... see the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, so after a lazy morning involving not much at all, we headed down there. The city of Charlotte is small, but very comparable to Melbourne, especially it seems in regards to the trendy, indie, arty areas of town. The ...
Home at last
We are home at last. Jessica spent only 2 hours at home, then went on a plane to Cleveland. Kids are very jet lagged and will fly to Cleveland with Dan in the morning. We have enjoyed our time in Italy and Denmark. But glad to be home if ...
In and around ‘The Queen’
... as it emphasizes the wealth and variety of talent that abounds here. We also went to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Charlotte, we took the light railway up to town and were delighted with the friendly service...the driver greeted everyone at ...
