Venezuela? Sure! Why not?

by Jerri on December 27, 2008

I had 35k American Airline frequent flyer miles burning a hole in my pocket (really, they were going to expire December 31) so I started looking around for a way to use them.  I knew I wanted to go somewhere out of the country, but that few of miles won’t get you too far; they’re [...]

by Jerri on September 20, 2008

At the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa I haven’t traveled out of the country in about two years. I just haven’t had the means. Well, that’s not entirely true. I never really had the means to travel, but I did it anyway. I always found a way even if I didn’t have the money [...]

Do You Really Need All Those Bags?

by Jerri on August 3, 2007

Not knowing what the future holds in store for you makes it hard to know what to pack. Most people pack way more than they will ever need. Seasoned travelers will tell you to lay out everything you think you want to take with you on your bed. Then, halve it and that is how [...]

I love Atlanta!

by Jerri on August 3, 2007

I just got back from my annual trip to Atlanta, GA. Every time I go I wonder why I don’t live there. This time was no exception. My best friend, Rose, took me out to some great coffee houses, restaurants and venues while there. I love the Spicy Chicken Pad Thai and Edamame at Doc [...]
