Back From Sonoma!

We got home and settled in last night. Overall it was an absolutely awesome trip. Best of all was being able to visit with my good friend. We don’t get to see each other often enough. But after this too quick visit, you better believe we’ll be heading out to Madrid to visit with them [...]

Life Lesson: Car Rental Schmar Rental

Guess what? Turns out there’s a serious difference in the daily rate between booking a car for a week and booking a car for 1 day and 16 hours. I’ve done Hotwire before for our car rentals and I’ve gotten some great rates. This time though, there’s not much of a rate [...]

Greetings From San Francisco!

Here’s a brief tour of my hotel room here in San Francisco. I’m waiting on my wine opener and crackers now - scratch that, they’re bringing me chocolate instead! Woohoo! Gotta love hotels with loyalty programs!
Trying to decide if I want to head on over to Fisherman’s Wharf on my own or just hang low [...]

Last Week Was Crazy

And this week doesn’t look any less crazy. I think I must have had something going on every day last week. In fact, one of both of us were so busy, that we only had one meal together at home (not cool). I actually canceled my Saturday seminar so I could spend a little time [...]

NJ History: I’m Just Slightly Appalled

I need to be quick (and let me preface by saying that I’ve been enjoying a glass or two of wine), so here goes…
The school teacher in me (specifically, the 4th grade, history teacher in me) is absolutely appalled that I ended up with a guy that just doesn’t seem to care that he’s walking [...]

They Say You Can Never Go Home

Well, it’s that time. We leave within the hour. I told myself when I left years ago (back in ‘89) that I’d never go back. Well, not exactly never, but only go back 1) if someone died and I needed to be there or 2) when my friend Matt got married and [...]

Traveling Books

I have some books that I don’t really have any need to keep around. My friends that might be interested in reading them have already read them. Quite a few years ago, a friend passed along a book (Feast of All Saints by Anne Rice) that she found on the bus. To [...]

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: Sonoma Edition

Consider yourself warned…this is a long post, with photos.

Sonoma was fun. Sonoma was cold. Sonoma was rainy. Herbie was awesome! Really, that’s the trip right there. Fun, but cold and rainy with a great show. We didn’t get to do pretty much anything on our brief list of things [...]

Settling In in Petaluma

It’s official, our long day is finally coming to a close. I feel like I had a gazillion errands to run today before even leaving to pick up the hubs for the airport. But here we are. Mind you, we called the hotel on the way to the airport to confirm the reservation (as we’re [...]
