The day has come and we’re just about on our way to sunny Cancun, Mexico! Of course, Mother Nature had to make it tough on us by dumping close to ten inches of snow on the Minneapolis area since yesterday, but that’s not going to stop us! All six of us got to the airport, […]

As you heard in my last post, I bit the bullet and applied for Global Entry. Thankfully, the process seems to move fairly quickly and I already got confirmation that my application has been conditionally approved. Now I just need to go to the enrollment center (not the same one I went to for TSA […]
As a follow-up to my last post, in case you missed my comment about it, I decided to apply for Global Entry. I know it’s more money, but the value seems like it’s there! So how about upcoming trips? As it turns out, I actually have several! Here’s what’s on the horizon for the next […]
Lately, I’ve been looking at some government programs that make travel a lot easier, namely TSA Precheck and Global Entry. I actually started by just looking at Precheck because I recently noticed that some friends of mine had used it. So what good is it? For domestic travel with participating airports/airlines, it allows you to […]
I was just looking at Facebook and came across this amazing set of aerial photos of London by night. Check ’em out! http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/london-air-stunning-aerial-photos-by-jason-hawkes-1433487 Haven’t I said how important it is to see London (and other cities) by night? Now you know why! Unfortunately, it won’t be easy to see it by night in a helicopter, […]
Okay, I’m only calling this post Looking Back because I’m about to recap the last full day of the London trip I returned from about six weeks ago. But hey, that’s okay! Our last day in London was a good one! After all the excitement at the Doctor Who Celebration the day before, it was […]
Goodness, is it really 2014 already?? Apparently it is! And here’s me, shirking my blogging responsibilities. Tsk, tsk! Never fear though, a new post (or possibly posts!) will be available later today. You’ll get to read about: *The final day of my November London trip (or did you think I was still there, basking in […]
Okay, it’s finally time for my recap of our Saturday in London, pretty much all of which was spent at the Doctor Who Celebration. We had been out just a little bit late the night before with some local friends, so we were feeling just the tiniest bit tender, but we knew we had a […]
I know I haven’t written a Doctor Who Celebration recap yet, but I’m out and about in London all day today and I just thought you should see this view: Big Ben. One of those London views I never get tired of. 🙂 Be sure to come visit the city during the day and at […]
Well, I haven’t been posting much the last couple of days, but that’s only because we’ve been having such a great time! After getting our friend’s passport sorted (he was able to get a new one at the embassy on Friday – whew!), we’ve been enjoying the city! We didn’t have anything in particular planned […]
