When I made this goal on my 101 in 1001 list, I was thinking about the trips that I took growing up. We would stay in hotels along the highway and stop off at places of interest along the way to our ultimate destination. It is a different kind of trip then just [...]
Two weekends ago, I completed #8 on my 101 in 1001 list: visit Starved Rock State Park.* While there were several pretty parts of the park, I really think that we went at the wrong time of the year. In the winter there are bald eagles and later in the spring/summer, I imagine [...]
As promised, here are some photos that I took on the ghost tour of New Orleans. As you can see, there is definitely a something in the second photo that is not in the first picture of the exact same spot. Supposedly a woman named Julia died on the roof of the building [...]
* I went back to the office today and am quite tired as a result. Although technically yesterday was a day off, it was a travel day and not very relaxing. I could use a proper day off.
* Paducah got her stitches out today.
* I am uploading my New Orleans photos. [...]
I am sitting at the airport, waiting for my flight home. Today we were both tired, so we came to the airport shortly after checking out. This morning we rode the St. Charles streetcar which was fun and gave me a chance to see things in New Orleans besides the tourist spots.

Prince E arrived yesterday and after I was done with work we headed to Bourbon Street. We ate dinner on a balcony over looking the street. We went on a ghost tour, but bailed halfway through due to tiredness and a touch of boredom.
I briefly went to the casino today on my lunchbreak [...]
Been in conference/training from 8am-6pm. That’s longer than my normal work day.
Did get out for some sun, if only to walk to lunch.
I have completed #2 on my list of 101 in 1001: Visit a new state. I am in Louisiana for work. The plane was very empty. I would say at maybe half capacity. I had a whole row to myself.
The flight was a bit bumpy, especially the last half an hour [...]
Tomorrow I am going out of town for work. This will be the first work-related trip that I have ever taken, which is sort of exciting. Now that I think about it, I think that it will also be the first time I have stayed by myself at a hotel. When I [...]
