Blogs from Cleveland, Ohio, United States, North America - page 2

This will be my first blog about a road trip. I take road trips all the time but I have never written about them. I quite enjoy driving aimlessly and I can drive 12 hours in one day so I can go a great distance in just a few days. For this trip I will have a driving companion, my good friend Danielle Takacs I originally wanted to go to NYC but the greater distance and the fact we only had a weekend caused Danielle to veto that idea (GRRRRRRRRR). So we settled on Cleveland and honestly the only thing I know about Cleveland is that their river was on fire at some point. Before we left Danielle and I worked out a few things we could see, Christmas Story house, Rock and Roll hall of ... read more

So, our flight to Detroit was cancelled. *Wah wah* Michael and I arrived nice and early. Checked out our gate then went to get some lunch. While we were gone, our flight was cancelled and we didn't know. No announcement or anything. It seems because of the storms in the eastern United States today, some flights were cancelled/or delayed. A flight that was going out before ours in the same gate to New York didn't have a plane. Then, our plane showed up. They were able to get the NY people out but they cancelled our flight to Detroit. So now, we are going to Newark at 7:15pm. Then we leave Newark at 11:00pm to London. Not exactly excited about London, I hope we get out of there ok with the Olympics going on. Instead of ... read more

Hello all you faithful blog readers! I have finally made it back home and for the first time in a long time, I have no flights or trips booked. To wrap up my year of traveling and blogging I figured I would make the last entry an epic three part series that tell the stats, questions I'm asked, and what I learned and could teach others! So if you have any questions please message me and I will do my best to answer them. Now for some of the good stuff, and before you ask, all of these stats are as accurate as I could get them and true... ENJOY!

I think I may need rehab. I feel like the teat has been ripped away from me and I am just expected to hunt on my own. I was hoping for a weaning process or at least a very slow transition from sea to land. But by my own doing, I threw myself from one extreme to the next. So I find myself sitting here with 2 layers of socks, 4 shirts and wool sweatpants; staring out my Dad’s back door at a dreary, cloud covered winters day in Cleveland, Ohio. I couldn’t tell you if it were noon or midnight as the natural lighting gives no indication to there being a difference. And I wonder to myself, “Tahiti for this?” I knew this debacle would invade my thoughts. I was almost ready to deal with ... read more
