Arrival in Hawaii
The post I wrote on my Blackberry from the plane got lost, so this is the only post I’ll make today. And it’s going to be short because I am SO tired. No problems with the trip from Washington to Los Angeles. Didn’t get any sleep, but we watched Baby Mama on my iPod. Tina … Continue reading

Vacation Plans
I think I have vacations for the next three years worked out. April 2009 – My wife is hoping to be picked for a team that’s attending a conference in Waikiki. I will have to miss school if I join her but I’ve managed before so I think it could work out. I’ll need $800 … Continue reading
Alternative to Olivia
Watch out Olivia, Sweet is new and growing! I heard about it through a Facebook ad. Right now they have just one offering, but it’s a fully chartered cruise – that is, only Sweet customers will be on board. It’s on Norwegian, which I don’t like, and the prices are jaw-dropping…but hey, it’s about time … Continue reading
NAD Conference: Monday
The day started with an example of what would come the rest of the day: seeing someone I hadn’t seen in a while. Someone I used to work with at BIS was on the same flight, along with at least 15 other deaf people. The flight and ride into downtown New Orleans were perfectly fine. … Continue reading
Preparing to Leave for New Orleans
I have spent all weekend with the college bowl team. On Friday we went to the Newseum, which is much better than the old one that was in Arlington. It’s a full-day excursion now, and I recommend seeing it all in one day because the $20 admission is a bit steep. Friday night my wife … Continue reading
See the World!
I gotta talk this up for my own selfish reasons. If you’re between the ages of 18-26, and you’re interested in traveling, check out College Break for great tours around the world. Europe is their most popular destination but they also go to Africa, Asia, and Australia! Their tours are very reasonably priced, and they … Continue reading
Hi from Wildwood
Yikes, I haven’t posted in several days! On Tuesday I caught the hotel shuttle to the airport and took the R1 train downtown. I went to the National Museum of American Jewish History…or rather, I tried. The place won’t actually open till 2010, when they will move their collection into the new building. Meanwhile, all … Continue reading
First Day in Philadelphia
I ended up with a surprise vacation! Last Thursday :A: said “I might have to go to training next week in Philadelphia, do you want to come too?” So I said yes! And now here I am at the Residence Inn Philadelphia Airport while :A: is in training next door at the Hilton, which didn’t … Continue reading
Booked a Carnival Cruise
I just did my first official actual booking through my travel agency, Cogswell Travel. It’s actually for myself, though…I’m putting together a group from a forum I participate on, and I wanted to set a good example by booking myself. It’s January 5, 2009 and leaves from Miami with stops at Key West and Cozumel … Continue reading
