“Sunday night in Birmingham” reads an entry in my Google search history. Michael and I were visiting the city for a single night as part of a very quick road trip through the Yellowhammer State, and our visit just so happened to fall on Sunday. With a visit to Scottsboro and Huntsville already under our …

Happy Sunday! Saturday is easily my favorite day of the week, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Sunday mornings. Michael and I usually wake up and hit the gym early on Saturdays, so I relish the chance to sleep in just a tad and stay in my pajamas until we manage …
The Ultimate Journey: Discovering the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama
Although the main draw for my trip to this corner of Alabama was a visit to Unclaimed Baggage in nearby Scottsboro, it would have been an utter shame to skip over the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama – a visit enhanced by yet another fairly recent trip to the Kennedy Space Center …

My internal clock is still out of whack. This post contains affiliate links and I may receive a small …
Where Lost Luggage Goes: What it’s Like to Visit to Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, Alabama

Sorry, what? Unclaimed Baggage? Yep – Unclaimed Baggage is an entire store dedicated to selling items left in unclaimed …

I am not on board with this time-changing business, particularly when it occurs at the end of my Spring Break and I have to return to work the following day after a week of late nights and a little dabbling in sleeping in. It is what it is, I suppose, but if our state government …
What happens when you cancel a non-refundable trip? How we received full credit for a non-refundable booking:
Well, the inevitable happened: Michael and I had to cancel a trip unexpectedly. As often as we travel, there was bound to be a time when something would prohibit us from taking a planned trip. Yet despite knowing this, we always book the non-refundable fare. You see, refundable plane tickets are often 3-4 times the …
