I was in Indianapolis recently for the ACRL 2013 conference. I hadn’t done a whole lot of prep before I left, but I did take the time to quickly make a map of interesting places to eat for this conference, as using my Seattle vacation map when I was back in Seattle for Midwinter was … Continue reading »

Trip Diary: Seattle
I was back in Seattle just a few months after I was last here, this time for the ALA Midwinter conference. I didn’t have time or money to add on any vacation this time, but I did get to revisit a couple of fun places, and check out some new spots. Overall I just love … Continue reading »
Trip Diary: Dewey Beach
A couple of weekends ago, I went away to Dewey Beach, Delaware, with three friends. We have traveled together before and have had a lot of fun, and realized that if we were going to have a trip any time soon, it had to be now as one of our quartet is pregnant. So, Darra, Danielle, Tracie, … Continue reading »
Trip Diary: Orlando
I’m not so good at remembering to do these right after I come back, but oh well. About a month ago, I was in Orlando for the American Psychological Association’s Annual Convention. This is not one of the usual cities that this convention rotates through, so I don’t know that I will be back anytime … Continue reading »
Trip Diary: Anaheim
A few weeks ago, I was in Anaheim, CA for the American Library Association’s Annual Meeting. I can’t say I’d recommend it as a vacation destination (unless of course you are going to Disney, which I did not), but oddly enough I still felt like it was kind of meh as a conference destination. Better … Continue reading »
Trip Diary – Seattle IV
Slightly later than intended, one last post on Seattle. I started this out as a narrative, but it was just too long and I could tell I wasn’t going to finish it. So, a list with some annotations will have to suffice. Anyway, despite what you may think, I did in fact do more than … Continue reading »
Trip Diary: Seattle III
So I visited a lot of cool places while I was in Seattle, but let’s be real. I’m going to talk about the food first. No joke, I did my best to eat my way through the city and I had to adjust my belt by a notch the last day of the trip. (Mission … Continue reading »
Trip Diary: Seattle II
So as you may have already seen, I spent all of last week in Seattle! I loved every minute of it. I was on my own for several days, which was really fun and freeing. I’m not going to talk about this vacation chronologically, because it’d be overwhelming. I’m going to do it thematically. … Continue reading »
Travel Diary: Seattle I
I visited Seattle for the Medical Library Association Conference, and then for vacaction. I didn’t wind up seeing much of the conference but hey, that’s life. It’s one we go to every year so I’m sure I’ll be back! This post is focused on the conference aspect, though that is admittedly a difficult line to … Continue reading »
Sunday Sampler
Left to right: Elysian Men’s Room Red, Ayinger Celebrator, North Coast Old Rasputin, Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye. All delicious, but I like the Ayinger best. Continue reading »
