We took our very first day trip by plane yesterday and it was an adventure indeed. I work for an airline and the flight benefits are fantastic. They are standby but since we can see the loads of the plane know which flights will be full and which will not. The problem however, does not…… Continue reading Portland

Places I’ve traveled.
Renaissance Man
I’ve always wanted to be a renaissance man. This idea came about in college when I started studying languages. I was so enraptured by my study abroad in Toledo, Spain that it changed the course of my life. The history, the culture, a new language were things I had never experienced before and here I…… Continue reading Renaissance Man
Nashville, Tennessee Part 2
The time is 11:11 and I’m back at the hotel. We had training all day and then an excellent party at a venue called 12th and Porter where there was a buffet, drinks and fabulous live music. I introduced myself to many new colleagues and we all had a good time. But it was after…… Continue reading Nashville, Tennessee Part 2

I’ve been to Tennessee once in my life and that was…… Continue reading Nashville Tennessee

Seattle
It is 4:15 AM on Wednesday, September 26. It looks like I’m back to my regular sleep schedule as I had no trouble waking up at 4:00 AM. I’m in a hotel though so the sleep wasn’t that deep and I had weird dreams as I usually do when in a hotel. On the flight…… Continue reading Seattle
Tokyo Trip 2018 – Second Post
It is 4:07 PM on Monday, August 13th. I’m sitting at the Hub in Ikebukuro and the end of the Japan trip draws close. I wasn’t able to write as much as I wanted in my journal this trip due to a problem with the power cord. I had forgotten that Japan only uses a…… Continue reading Tokyo Trip 2018 – Second Post
