Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Logan Airport, Boston MA USA

A crazy work week in Boston – I was tired, and unfortunately sick, by the time I got to the airport mid afternoon on Friday to head home via Burbank Airport. I was sad to be leaving, but I couldn’t help but grin knowing I’d be back in seven days. I don’t mind all the […]

With it being a holiday weekend, however, hotel prices were […]

So when my mother invited me to spend the weekend with her in Naples, I was intrigued and excited to check out the west coast. Sunsets over the water […]
