“If you don’t know it already, your flight has been canceled,” she said over the intercom, almost mockingly. We’d been at the Milan airport for almost nine hours when we heard this announcement. We’d shopped all there was to shop, eaten all we could manage to eat, and surfed the internet as much as the …
Michael and I held off on applying for the US Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry Program in part because of cost ($100? We can get a plane ticket for that amount!) and also because none of the nearby enrollment centers had hours that would fit in with our work schedules. But finally, toward the …
It feels like as soon as Mother’s Day is over it’s time to start stressing about what to get my dad and my stepdad for Father’s Day (that’s June 18th, 2017, for those of you here in the US). In the same boat? I think I’ve got a few things that we think will make …

As part of the application process for the US Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry Program, Michael and I recently had to attend an in-person interview at one of their Enrollment Centers. None of the airports near us had weekend hours, and the thought of sacrificing a hard-earned vacation day to visit during the week …
