Hello, Just a few thoughts on blogs. Recently I started a travel blog. A humorous (hopefully) look at the travel industry and some of my personal experiences boarding over 70 planes in 18 months flying back and forth from Orlando Airport to the Philadelphia Airport. Why you ask did I do such a crazy thing? To appear on QVC with my invention the PUP aka, personal utility pouch. Unfortunately many...

I figured this morning was just right for using the "Mom's Taxi" mug for my tea and a late breakfast. Just four hours ago I rolled up to Chicago's O'Hare Airport with, as Charlie Chan used to put it, my "number one son" all packed up for a trip to a destination a few thousand miles away. It was a two-and-a-half hour drive to the airport from my house (okay, he drove most of the way there!). He...

Earlier I published a near death experience that I had participating the sport of skydiving. This one was a bit more terrifying in that it lasted a seemingly endless amount of time.

All the way to the airport, my mind tried to find the right words. My soldier is about to get on a plane that will eventually lead him to the battlefront. What should I say? How will I not fall to pieces? I just want to grab him...

Stayed in a Dee-luxe Apartment in the Sky - Hotwire.com got us a room at the Hotel Intercontinental for $125 a night, right...

My youngest son was returning from California, where he had been for a year as an exchange High School student and I was going to meet him from the plane. After a journey that had taken me half the day in tropical hot weather, starting with a crowded ferry, followed by a train strike, sitting next to a large depressed gentleman from London, who wore a T-shirt with Hebrew letters that...
