I spent a few days in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina for a conference. The nearest airport is Wilmington, but cost + schedules = had-to-rent-a-car-anyway led me to fly into Raleigh and drive the two hours to the coast. The hotel was a Holiday Inn… Continue Reading “Wrightsville Beach”
Back in Washington this week, but everything was goofy. United Airlines shifted stuff around at DCA, so I was all confused. I stayed at a different hotel, so I was more confused. L’Enfant Plaza Hotel is not fancy. I understand from my meeting planner… Continue Reading “Another Trip to DC”
I generally travel light. This blog has the running joke about Things I Forgot when I travel. This time, I out did myself. It started because I didn’t feel like lugging around the laptop. And since I was only going to two nights, I… Continue Reading “What Happens When I Actively Try to Travel Light”
It has rained for close to 48 hours straight. On the north side of Kauai, they have literally evacuated people to a Red Cross shelter and there was at least one school closed. Roads are out and the flash flood warning – extended twice… Continue Reading “Cabin Fever”

I was up early and started moving, headed north to Hanalei. I was first delighted to see a Safeway where I picked up some breakfast and figured I could stop for groceries so as to not spend $25 on a dinner on-property that wasn’t… Continue Reading “Kauai – Day 2”
Winter vacation in Hawaii, but this time in Kauai rather than the Big Island. I brought 1.5 books, two DVD sets and four back issues of Vanity Fair. After one travel day and one complete day, I have finished a book and two magazines.… Continue Reading “Something Slightly Different”
Just got back to town. Let’s start with “things I forgot”: Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, face cleanser. Because I left them in the shower in Honolulu. This led me to spend $20 at the new Lush store in Pentagon City, and I was still… Continue Reading “Short Week in Washington”
