Intro: Travel at Home (and a Giveaway!)
With travel looking nowhere close to returning, it’s time to get creative.
A Reminder: People Are Good
With all that’s going on right now, it’s pretty easy to feel down. Turn on the TV and everything is coronavirus related. People are dying, events are being canceled, stay in place orders are being issued. It’s all understandable, but the non-stop barrage of negative news can be really overwhelming and depressing. With all the negative though, I wanted to share a positive experience that happened recently. This...

Airbnb’s Coronavirus Policy

The Best Travel Shoes EVER
Two years ago, I got a new pair of shoes for my birthday. They were from some trendy, new company out in San Francisco. I didn’t really know anything about them, but they seemed soft and fuzzy. I tried them on and they fit well, but for some strange reason I didn’t really wear them that often. Little did I know they would become the best pair of travel shoes I ever got.

Wendi was seated in seat 20D, one row from the back of the aircraft. According to Wendi, she wanted...
