I recently purchased an airline ticket through unconventional means for myself: I worked with a ticketing agent. In general, I do all of my travel planning online as I’m privy to many different resources that I like, which have worked well for me in the past. This time around, I chose to use an agent […]
Flying with kids – What goes around comes around
In the past week I have read a few stories about traveling with kids and the disparity between those who travel with them and those who don’t.

Travel Agent or D-I-Y travel?
A friend asked the other day why didn’t I do family trip planning for people and my simple response was that it’s just not what I do. He wanted to do one-stop trip shopping where he could say, “hey I want to go here on this date with this number of people. Just tell me how much it […]

Traveling with special diets
I considered myself to be a pretty healthy eater until this past Tuesday when I attended a lecture called “Special Diets for Special Children.” As if traveling and eating healthy wasn’t hard enough, now I’m faced with traveling and supporting a special diet for my kids. Talk about pre-planning. Let me just say that as I listened to […]
NBC’s “Community” Christmas episode – A review
Tonight I actually took a break from my regular juggling to watch and review NBC’s upcoming Christmas episode of “Community”. Now, let me first admit that I’ve never watched the show before and was not sure what to expect. The Christmas episode was done with stop-motion animation. Abed, the focal point of the show, explains to his fellow […]
