I spent most of the day traveling so here’s a review of the hotel I stayed in while in Puerto Rico… I’ve been staying at the Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa which is a Wyndham Grand Resort. I didn’t pick the hotel, it’s where the conference I attended was held, but I thought it [...]

Right Where I Belong
Posted in Travel, tagged travel on January 13, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Do you ever have the feeling that you’re exactly where you should be? I don’t have this feeling often (which maybe says something about my life), but I’ve had it a lot while I’ve been in Puerto Rico. I don’t think Puerto Rico is necessarily where I belong, but sitting on the beach, or listening [...]
Greetings from Puerto Rico

Oh Puerto Rico. So many thoughts. I landed here last night around midnight, took a cab to the hotel (with a nice cab driver who was from NYC and whose sister is the main news anchor one of the NYC Spanish-language TV stations and, even better, he didn’t kill me) and got here a little [...]
A Surprise Trip to San Antonio

I expected to spend today in Austin with my co-worker who came in this morning. I expected to pick her up at the airport and then show her around Austin. As we were driving to lunch we passed a highway sign for San Antonio and I said that I always wanted to go there. And [...]
2 Plaques

Austin is still good. I don’t have the energy to post about it. But today was a good day. The plaque on the table at the Mexican restaurant where we ate lunch. Sweet. And that was the plaque on the car parked next to us at the same Mexican restaurant. Everything is bigger in Texas. [...]
Austin, TX

I am a big fan of Texas. I always meet nice people, I love how different it is from NYC, and it’s cheap! I left NYC around 9:30 and was very proud of myself for packing breakfast to save money and be healthy! When I took my bag off the baggage carousel the wheel broke [...]

Tomorrow I leave for four days in Austin, TX, followed by four days in Puerto Rico. I travel for work a few times each year. Two trips to Amarillo, TX, two trips to Austin, TX, and several road trips to New Jersey. It’s nice, but they’re quick, kind of frantic trips, to the same places [...]
Amarillo IV

I came down to Amarillo yesterday for the fourth time. This was a pretty quick and uneventful trip. We landed an hour early in Dallas which gave me time t sit and have a margarita. We landed in Amarillo right around 6 and I quickly picked up my car and attempted to find Blue Sky [...]
Cincinnati Take Two: Day Two

I don’t even know where to start with Thursday. These days watching tennis are just so completely overwhelming. My friend brought up a good point today, whenever you watch any other sport you go to the game, it lasts for a few hours, and then you go home. When you go to watch tennis you [...]
Cincinnati Take Two: Day One

We made it to Cincinnati! I really love taking trips with Ashley. And Pennsylvania and Ohio. Our first stop was Pittsburgh to get some breakfast. We went to an adorable place called Pamela’s (apparently it’s a Pittsburgh chain) and I had amazing french toast and potatoes. I can’t even think about the amount of fat/calories/etc. [...]
