Today’s business trip included a really nice flight from Austin to Dallas. The small plane, with just four seats per row, made deplaning so quick and easy – a truly fantastic experience! I wish every flight could be like that.
I picked up Mariko from the airport tonight after her three-week trip to Japan. Quick tip: if you’re doing an evening pickup, meet on the departure level. It’ll save you a lot of time!
We’re back in Austin after an amazing road trip and holiday in California. Time to unpack and reunite with the kitties!
Today was a long travel day, starting in Sedona, Arizona, and ending in Torrance, California. We kicked things off with a yummy breakfast at the Old Town Red Rooster Café in Cottonwood before hitting the road. Bay took the wheel for the first leg, and I drove the California stretch.
After a full day of driving, dinner at CoCo Ichibanya hit the spot. I usually go for level 10 spiciness, but this location now offers levels 15 and 20! Naturally, I had to try level 15. It was spicy, though I feel like their old level 10 from years back packed more heat. Either way, I’m definitely trying level 20 next time!
Today, we kicked off our road trip from Texas to California. I handled this leg of the drive, making a few stops along the way for food, fuel, and some photos — including this one after sunset. Once we arrived in Roswell, New Mexico, we settled in and headed out for dinner and drinks. I’d been eagerly anticipating that margarita since crossing the Texas/New Mexico border!
