My First Day in Delhi

My First Day in Delhi


Today I arrived in Delhi after a 24-hour jaunt to get here – both in the air and waiting in airports. After clearing customs and being really surprised that my luggage made it to India with me after going through three countries I headed out of bustling Indira Gandhi International Airport at 4:30 AM to … Continue reading »

Last week I visited Seattle on a press trip with Microsoft (which means they paid for everything and fed us very, very well).  The purpose of the trip was to learn about Windows 8 and Office 365. Although I am a hardcore digital maven I admit I didn’t take to the changes to Windows very well. I shunned … Continue reading »

As I type this Michael, my husband, is running in the USA 50 Mile Trail Championships in Rocksprings, Texas. He’s been in Texas since Thursday – enough time to get acclimated to the time zone and rested before he had to race today. He sent these photos of the course and some of the surrounding … Continue reading »

New York is a gritty place. That’s the best way I can describe it. I love every bit of its grit. New York is also filled with an energy that can’t be replicated anywhere in the world. It has character and wears it well. I had to head up the east coast for a few … Continue reading »

After a year of heavy travel it’s nice to use some of the points you’ve racked up for a quick getaway. As a family we hadn’t been to the beach in over a year so we decided to drive a few hours east to the coast and see the ocean. It was our first time … Continue reading »
