Winter travel

It has been a while since my last post. This may lead you to think that I have not been traveling so let me set the record straight. Between November 1st and December 31st I will have spent six days in Orlando at a conference followed by four trips to Knoxville for 14 days, two trips to Kalamazoo for three days, one in Cherry Hill NJ (burbs of Philly), and a week in San Francisco for vacation. So out of 60 or so days I will be spending about 25 of them away from home.

I have experienced all the winter time horror stories you read about in the news from cancelled flights to sketchy landings, deicing delays, short connections, and reroutes.

We have recently started using Carlson Wagonlit travel and they have performed superbly for me. My agent, Susan E., has saved us several thousand dollars by booking creative itineraries and finding good options to meet my needs. Many thanks go to her for saving me the stress and hassle of trying to figure things out solo...

I'll try to find something interesting to write about in the coming days... my January and February travel will probably be just as intense so there should be plenty of opportunities!

Be safe and have a happy holiday season!
