Greetings from Southern California. I’m home again after nearly four weeks in Europe. My family had a wonderful time visiting friends and family in Germany then spending a few days in Greece to end the trip.
While I don’t plan a formal trip report for this journey, I will write a few posts about the flights, a couple hotel reviews, and some thoughts about traveling with a six-month old. I have no plans to turn this into a “Daddy Points” blog (besides, Ed from Pizza in Motion has already reserved that name!) but I cannot help but to discuss this aspect of my life in the context of traveling.
I’ll be in the air again tomorrow with an interesting flight path this week. More details to come!
Here’s a look at the top stories from the week:
