Six Feet & Then Some: Pandemic Travels

Apr 5, 2020 0 0

It seems weird to think that Mr. Pretty and I had just come back from Jamaica at this time last month, and now the entire world is shut down in response to a global pandemic. While I’m entering my fourth week of working remotely (I’m referring to my dining room as my satellite...

A New Roadblock

Mar 10, 2019 0 0

Americans are all a-titter about the news that we’ll have to obtain travel authorization to head to countries in the European Union starting in 2021. This is not exactly new news–it was announced last year and has been in the works for years prior, all because the U.S. requires...

2018 in Review

Dec 31, 2018 0 0

It was an unusual year for me, travel-wise. I switched jobs in January and couldn’t travel for the first four months of the year. And I did a full-on terrible job on my 2018 wishlist, only hitting Zurich. But hey, big deal, right? It’s a wishlist, not a mandate. That said, my 2019...

You Can’t Get There From Here

RyanAir scares the crap out of me. It’s not like I think the pilots or flight attendants are substandard (although they are surely an unhappy bunch). And it’s not like I think the planes are suddenly going to shake apart and send all of us hurtling into the sea (granted, there are...

A Full-On Zurich Chocolate Hunt

Aug 23, 2018 0 0

Swiss chocolate is one of the first things that popped into my head when I thought of Switzerland. So without my usual ridiculously specific itinerary to fall back on for Zurich, thanks to the last minute Prague-to-Zurich switcheroo, I let that first image be my guide. In other words, our...

The Nonrev Shuffle

Jun 3, 2018 0 1

Some people are born lucky. Some are most decidedly not. Me, I’m pretty lucky most of the time, and that extends to traveling as a nonrev. Over the last several years I’ve taken nearly 80 flights and flown enough miles to circle the Earth around seven times. Until this year...

The Best Laid Plans

The day arrived–Mr. Pretty and I were flying to Prague. My first chance to take a vacation in over four months. It was exciting! It was thrilling! It . . . was doomed from the start. First came the missing plane. It was traveling to Philadelphia from Miami, but bad weather delayed its...

Hong Kong by the Street

Dec 31, 2017 0 0

Every place to which I’ve traveled has a feel when I’m walking down the street. Whether it’s romantic, gritty, artsy, or something else, it’s what stays in my brain when I think back on a city once I’ve left. Hong Kong will never have just one feel for me. In many...

Long Haul Help

Nov 24, 2017 0 2

Being a short girl has its advantages, but dude–16 hours in coach? Is there a way to endure this without wanting to hurl myself out the nearest exit door? We shall see. Yes, I’ve got a 16 hour flight approaching, and it will likely see me trapped in a seat back in steerage class. My...
