Sofitel at Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA USA

Massive blizzard in Boston dropping two feet of snow with a subsequent two days off of school for our kids, followed by another smaller hit… I had a flight on Delta, flight on American, and a ride on Amtrak all booked for my one-night journey from Boston to Philadelphia.

Charlotte for Zarticon – the one hour and forty five minute trip from Boston was the shortest flight I’ve taken in a very long time. It was also the first American Airlines flight I had taken in a very long time… and wow has that airline gone full budget. At one point in my life […]
