My latest learnings, observations and recommendations about how to navigate international travel, with stories about how I landed on them.

Here’s the Glover Gardens grilled chicken wings recipe, served up with reflections on how June sped by… as well as anticipation of an upcoming trip to Copenhagen and Amsterdam. I had pre-travel comfort food cravings and perhaps a little nostalgia about missing traditional 4th of July backyard barbeques while traveling.

I’m sharing this article from the Washington Post as a public service to all travelers.

A not-Cajun sandwich on a flight from Paris to London.

Something in this Food & Wine magazine will be on our table this weekend during our quiet time in the mountains of Colorado.

A photo and a haiku capture momentary peace from the usual airport chaos.

Beets: they look pretty, but they taste like dirt. And they do not belong in a sandwich on an airplane.

The rainbow walkways at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport make me haiku-happy.

Two haiku are born during a weather delay before a flight to Paris. Just call it haiku therapy.

Haiku for travel anticipation.

Two haiku about hoping (hard) for no neighbor in the next seat.

Haiku to say farewell to Colorado.

Haiku for air travel.

Haiku-writing: my coping skill for a turbulent flight. (Try this if you’re a nervous flyer.)

Haiku for a travel day breakfast.

Air travel inspires a haiku about the millions of other life stories that are mysteries to us.
