We made it across the border from Windsor to Detroit without a problem. We left around 10am and arrived in Chicago around 2:30. After checking into our hotel downtown we went for a walk and didn't get back into our hotel until about 10:00pm. We went to Starbucks, did some shopping and walked down the very popular, Michigan Street spending the ma...

Tomorrow at 1:10pm CST, we will be taking off from Chicago O'Hare for our family trip to Italy. As you can imagine, the whole family is excited! Brendan is pumped to have native access to his favorite food for 2 whole weeks and is counting on eating parmesan cheese every day.

Tucker is most excited about riding in several different planes...

Hopped on the famed City of New Orleans train from what was T-Shirt and shorts weather on the Gulf Coast to what feels like the depths of winter by Lake Michigan. People had said to me that Chicago is like a clean New York, which is probably true. The place is Obama crazy at the moment with everyone tryin to figure out how there goin to get a ti...

As a scrapbooker working for a major manufacturer, Spellbinders Paper Arts (Phoenix), I get the chance to travel several times a year for the Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show. The company manufactures the Wizard Embossing and Die Cutting System for scrapbookers...cool, hugh? So I'm off to Chicago in about 3 weeks. The last time I was there...

Tonight is our last night in the U.S. Cynthia and I are in Chicago hanging out with Bethany and Mandy. We went to see the Sex and the City movie and had a lovely Mexican dinner followed by tasty bakery treats. It's been a lot of fun. I must admit, though, I'm pretty excited about getting going on this trip. I'm going to miss home, family, friend...

As always, I still had packing to do before my flight left tonight. For some reason when I feel the pressure I am much more decisive so I save packing for the last minute, even if it means packing for 4 ½ months. In fact, I even had friends over until about 3 a.m. which is not very conducive to packing, but I knew it would all get done. In reali...

We went to the beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory on Jesus's day off yesterday. It was beautiful. In addition to the lovely plants, there were also breathtaking sculptures that were larger than life. Really spectacular and fantastical. I love this place and have always thought it would such a romantic place to get married, as well as Amalfi, I...

Since my return from South America two weeks ago I have been working on the Schengen visa process, and what a process it is. I won't regret the day if I get a different passport and can toss away this ridiculous book that is akin to a travel contraceptive. For those not familiar with this visa, it's the visa required to visit the Schengen states...

ALright people, I leave TOMORROW and surprisingly, I am STILL NOT PACKED. Why? I have been contemplating this a ton lately. I have had NO sudden urge to be excited to gather my most precious belongings and take them 3000 miles away from their home...and mine. I don't want to leave. I am SO nervous. I cannot possibly explain the ridiculous rush o...

Greetings from Chicago. This will be the last time for this heading for a while. Training ended at Woodridge. The client is smart and enthusiastic. They did ask for some clarification on some labor law stuff, which I explained and we discussed. Then I was cornered on the HR product. This client was one of the first to implement HR and have worke...
