April 4-17 I’d been contemplating attending the annual ACUI Conference in San Antonio since last fall, and after some deliberation and talking with my former boss Jim, decided to give it a go, particularly since neither Joanna or I had spent any time in Texas. We both viewed it as an opportunity to introduce ourselves […]
March 12 – 23 The next three days would be full of activity as we worked around the Mar Vista house to prepare it for pictures to be taken for its listing later in the week. I did drive down to Huntington Beach on Tuesday to meet up with J.B. and Evan for a couple […]
March 12 – 23 We needed to use a companion fare ticket with US Air prior to June and as the timing played out, going in March would work the best for all parties involved. We flew out Thursday night March 12th; many years of making this trip have proven that for us, flying out […]
January 26-30, 2015 Compared to our first couple of days on the road, our drive to Mobile seemed short at about six hours.
