Day 15

A travel blog entry by glenjlittle

Today was the longest travel day yet, 430 miles, 7.5 hours. So it was sit on the bus, get off the bus, check in at the hotel, get on the bus and go to the venue, do the show, back to the hotel and sleep. Nothing very exciting today! We started the day at 7am and I got back to my room about 10:15pm. Tonight's show was one of the best so far. The …

That meant we were not at all prepared this morning, and ...we were still sore! We decided to call our daughter, Nycke to Fedex some items down, and before we dialed, no sooner did we remember Devon's brother, Doie loves to drive anywhere (uh, I mean travel). He ...

Week 5 - Penn State at Illinois

A travel blog entry by jasonandjanell

Jason is a Penn State grad, so this is actually the first game where either of us have a real rooting interest other than for the team of whoever we went to the game with. �Since it didn't look like we were going to make it to Happy Valley on the trip, Illinois seemed like as good a place as any to catch a Penn State game. �This was a bit of a weird away game this year, for obvious reasons. That being said, I only heard one thing negative said about Penn State ...
