On a conference call, so long ago, a coworker mentioned that airlines will allow for a lyover of less than 24 hours without added cost. As we worked to use our miles to book tickets to Greece, this fact crept into my mind. Where would we connect through (Delta doesn’t fly direct to Athens). Paris?
local isn’t all that great
For me, at least. Yes, I love connecting with my neighbors. Volunteering locally. Being a pedestrian. Buying locally. But I get lost when I am local. Backwards right? I don’t get lost in a physical sense; I’ve lived in the county for 16 years. I generally have a good sense of where I’m headed —

Up at 4:30am so the girls could get ready to head out the door by 6am. We got Poppy parked at Union Station, had a quick cup of coffee and then rode Metro over to the White House for our 7:30am tour. Some waiting, lots of security, but it was nice to get inside –
