This time, I don’t think it was my travel karma, I think I got caught in someone else’s bad luck. As you might recall, yesterday I was taking the train to NYC to meet friends for dinner. It was sprinkling a little, so I took an umbrella as I left the house (at 5:00 p.m.) […]

l arrived in NYC at 5:30 this morning. After travelling from JFK airport to Grand Central to the Linz Home in Katonah, I am about to fall asleep. I think I will.
Today I spent thirteen hours on the computer trying to undo the damage that some hacker did to the Willamette Radio Workshop site. We’ve been attacked with minor vandalism over the last couple of months. Basically, they replace our index.html file with another one. So far, I’ve just replaced it and adjusted the chmod permissions.
I had lunch with Sue, worked on the last of the Home Tour things, and made scones–not in that order. I have to pack because I get on a plane for NYC tomorrow morning. I’ll be back on the 20th of May. Yes. I will continue to update the travelogue while I’m gone.
My flight was entirely uneventful. I slept for most of the trip, which calls for a hearty thank you to Mom and Dad for multiple eight hour car trips to Chattanooga. I learned at a very young age that if I could fall asleep in the car then I would get there faster. So, thanks
I just got an email with my travel dates. I’ll be going to Iceland on Sunday, April 24th, arriving Monday April 25th. I’ll work on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then hop on a plane on Thursday. I should be home Friday the 29th.
With only a minor, voluntary delay, I arrived home last night at 9:30. My flight was oversold, so I volunteered to go on the next one which was only an hour later. They were offering $500 dollar vouchers, and bumped me to first class. Wouldn’t you have volunteered too? Rob met me at the airport;
I’m sitting in the Newark Airport an my way back to Portland via Dallas. The trip was good, but I will be very, very glad to be home. Rob is picking me up at 8:41 this evening and I’m planning on turning our phone off as soon as we get home. I want to spend
Mom and Dad seem to have picked up my travel karma. They had a cancelled flight from Charlotte, N.C. The next plane got onto the runway and then turned around and came back because of weather. The next plane kept being delayed and was finally cancelled. They called me at 8:00 this morning to say

It’s snowing in Chattanooga. Who wants to take bets on my travel plans tomorrow? Drive to Atlanta Fly to New York through DC
I arrived in Atlanta at 6:30. I was supposed to get here at 2:10. Hm. What does one sacrifice to the travel gods? A chicken? In anycase, I arrived at the UNIMA gathering safely. We all had a good time, and then Kuang Yu and I drove up to my parents house in Chattanooga. I’m
Emily and I worked through the day and finished shortly before 11:00pm. I’m sitting in Ollie’s Noodle and Grill House across from Columbia University having a heaping dish of vegetables and noodles. Tomorrow, I go to Atlanta and switch gears to UNIMA. I’m beat, but Emily and I hashed out eleven of our twelve scenes
Well, I’ve arrived in New York. I was supposed to get here at 11:02 pm. The time now? 3:40 am… To be fair, I got here about an hour ago, but still. Where did this travel karma come from? I used to have such good luck travelling. I’m convinced that I picked up Rob’s bad
Last night Rob and I emptied our kitchen of furniture in preparation for the refinishing. I am surprised by how large the room is; if only there were fewer doors and windows we could have a lot of storage space in there. I got up this morning and took the bus down to have may

I ought to apologize, I suppose, for introducing my political views into what has been a travelogue up to this point. We watched the last of the presidential debates last night (Kahlua taped it for us.) which was very exciting, even though we’ve all voted at this point. Then, on the way in to work
