Back to D.C.

I am leaving Monday to go back to center of politics - Washington, D.C. Be sure to check back for pics, postings, reviews, and travel tips.

New and Improved!

I have been told on more than one occasion that I am opinionated. I have decided to exercise my opinion by adding more useful information to this blog, such as hotel reviews, travel tips, tour information, and restaurant reviews whenever possible.

Better Packs those Cough Drops

A 16-year-old girl was kicked off a Continental Airlines flight earlier this week for coughing. According to the airline, "the captain felt he was acting in the best interest of the passenger and other passengers on the flight." WTF? What's next....kicking a crying baby off a flight? Hmmm....actually, that isn't such a bad idea. I have had more than one "flight from Hell" due to a screaming rug rat. Continental has never been one of my favorite airlines and this over reaction gives me another reason to dislike them. I foresee the airline issuing a free travel voucher for this teen's next Spring Break. MSNBC has more on the story below:

Upcoming Travels

I am going to add a few more stamps to my passport in the coming months. I am headed back to Europe for a few weeks. I will be going to Germany for the first time. Whoo...hoo....Brats and Beer! I am also looking into other destinations while in Europe. Greece is looking like a nice option.
