Today I drove from my parents’ house on Long Island to my friend Ashley’s dad’s house in Johnstown, PA. Long Island To the Throgs Neck Bridge To traffic in the Bronx To the George Washington Bridge To I-80 To a rest stop To gorgeous farm land To beautiful, curvy, hilly roads To where they play [...]

Austin, TX: Take Two
Posted in Travel, Work, tagged travel, work on August 7, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Since all I wrote about yesterday was the Friday Night Lights tour (and it definitely deserved its own post), I thought I’d cover both of my days in Austin today. We landed right on time on Thursday night and after only a few wrong turns I made it to the hotel right around midnight. Unfortunately [...]
Friday Night Lights Austin Tour
Posted in Travel, tagged travel on August 6, 2011 | 9 Comments »
Yes, I am in Austin for work, but, if there’s anything I’m good at, it’s making a work trip into a fun trip. Which is why I decided to do a Friday Night Lights driving tour of Austin. I only started watching Friday Night Lights in May and I have to say I am an [...]
Going Back to Austin

Tomorrow I am once again going to Austin. (You can see last year’s Austin posts here, here, and here.) It’s for the same work thing so I’ll kind of have the same schedule. I’ll fly in late Thursday night, have set-up for the show Friday morning, have Friday afternoon free, and work the show Friday [...]
Summer in the City

No, not New York City. I’m talking Washington, DC. I spent the summer of 2006, the summer before my senior year of college, interning at ABC News in Washington DC. Let me take a little trip down memory lane. I lived in a George Washington University dorm room, more a suite, with a living room, [...]
Fort Vancouver

Yesterday, my final day in Oregon, we went to visit Fort Vancouver. Since I love history I was really excited to go. I actually made my family switch some things on the itinerary so I could go. Fort Vancouver is actually in Washington so I got to visit two states on this trip! We started [...]
Wine and Relax

Another day in Oregon, another day of consuming alcohol. Today’s alcohol of choice? Wine. Rather than the main drag places we went last year, we decided to try two smaller vineyards this year. First up was Aramenta. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. Since it was so small the owner just walked out of her house [...]
The Spruce Goose

This post is going to be a shell of what it could be. Why? Because I went to plug in my DSLR and realized I brought the wrong USB cord! So all of my pictures are trapped on my camera until I get back to NYC. Luckily I took some pictures with my iPhone so [...]
Sad Solo

That’s a really bad title, I know. Now for my Sunday in Portland. My grandparents are very regimented people. As I mentioned in my first post about Portland they eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time every day. They watch Wheel of Fortune every night, and they are big, big planners. Before I [...]
Brew Bus Tour

Greetings from Portland, OR! Sorry about the lack of posting. Last year, at the condo where I stay, there was wireless internet I could steal and a cable hook up downstairs that I could use, but this year everyone has their wireless protected and I can’t get the hook up to work. So after a [...]
