Flying Road Trip: A to B
Travel tip: Don’t rule out a journey that doesn’t come full circle.

Frontier Airlines – Is GoWild for You?
When booking a flight recently, I saw a tremendously intriguing option. Frontier Airlines offers a “GoWild” pass promising unlimited flights for the next 1.25 years for only $349/year!
Winter Road Trip – Migrating Southward
I have a curse. Any time I drive more than an hour south of Chicago in the winter, I hit a blizzard on the road. I’m 4/4 on winter road trips, and in every single one of these cases, my drive home is 100% clear. All that is to say that when I recently took a road trip to Atlanta, I most certainly hit a nasty blizzard in Indianapolis that cost me a few hours.
What You Can Do with 1.5 Days in DC
I recently advised not to underestimate the potential of a two day adventure, and I’ve got another data point to add to the set. A day and a half in Washington DC and I’ve rediscovered the US capital as a wonderful place to stop, even if it’s just for a short while.
The Three Day Road Trip (Georgia & Florida)
Today, I’d like to make one assertion- it’s possible to have a vacation that’s full, relaxing, and a complete disconnect from the daily grind using only three calendar days. I’ve gotten a bit lazy with my vacation planning and have been taking a week off at a time, but from Thursday to Saturday I enjoyed the heck out of the southeast US.
Diamond of the Midwest
I have a hot new recommendation for a vacation destination for anyone living in the Midwest US. Hear me out- Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Florida Again!?!?!
My most recent travel post was from Florida in early November. In early December, I have another Florida trip to report on. Last time, we explored the eastern coast of Florida leading up to a Caribbean cruise. This time around, we flew out early for an event in Orlando. Different circumstances, but one big commonality- the Kennedy Space Center.
Cruising 2024
Cruises are one of my favorite forms of travel for many reasons. The forced disconnect is perhaps the biggest one- to be separated from the world at large for several days, allowing me to save up ideas and return to life as usual with renewed energy and strategy. A close second is how many opportunities for competitive challenges there are on cruise ships.
Out of This World Traveling
I usually recommend traveling without overcommitting to a specific schedule. Taking a trip on a set itinerary / path may feel reassuring up front, but a lot of my best vacation memories are from times we head into a situation with too little of a plan.
Midwest Circuit Complete!
Going into last Friday, I expected to be on a road trip from Charlotte to Chicago. Hurricane Helene blew up those plans, so with no plan in mind, we set out westward on the morning of Friday, September 27. Despite having no plan, the trip was amazing, and we packed the days full.
