Welcome to the weekly update for the Jetsetter’s Homestead where we recap our posts from the past week. It has been a busy week around here, not only with our writings but also with homestead activities. We both had a respite from travel this week that created a nice window for spring cleaning, especially due…
In the Round Up, we share the most interesting things we’ve found around the internet. During the week, I came across a number of interesting things that seemed worth sharing. Some of it is travel related, some of it not. Enjoy! The Star Wars 8 title and trailer and title have finally been announced! The…
There’s no place like home. I’m repeating Dorothy’s famous mantra today after spending 14 of the last 16 days on the road. That’s a higher than normal ratio and not one I want to sustain. I’m not whining but it is real. Jim, on the other hand, continues to work on a project remotely. That means he’s…
It has been a busy week around the Jetsetter’s Homestead. Almost crazy busy. It’s time to start the weekly recap again – the omnibus post where you’ll not only catch what you’ve missed in our posts but also the little travel/life pieces of our lives. Not only are we back in the swing of things here on…
I may have been a bit smug a couple of weeks ago when I landed in Spain and hit the ground running without jet lag. Yep, definitely smug. Enough so that I ignored my usual routine of trying to at least time my sleep to adjust (with or without a tool like Jet Lag Rooster)…
Buongiorno! I didn’t intend to take a week off, but the hectic touring on this cruise combined with the limitations of the ship’s internet (especially when sharing a log on .with my cabin mate) made finding dedicated time to log on and write more difficult than I thought. But now I’m back just in time…
Greetings from Barcelona. I’m at the start of a 2+ week holiday in Europe and working my way into decompression mode. I’m traveling with my friend “The Princess” and we are here for preliminary touring before joining a 12 night Grand Mediterranean cruise on NCL Spirit. Decompression is something that takes a little bit of…
I’m not entirely sure how I got through the last week without a single post here. I think its because I got so busy just “doing” things that I never got to it. And that’s okay. Sometimes the routines of adulthood take precedence and we find ourselves on the sofa at 10 pm, still grinding on…
Welcome to the weekly recap for the Jetsetter’s Homestead. For those of you who stumbled here via my featured stint on BoardingArea this week… welcome! I’m a management consultant who spends most of my weeks on the road. On the weekends I split my time between fun side trips and my hometown of Fort Worth, Texas…
Shock. Its the body’s way of protecting vital organs in the event of trauma or other life-threatening events. Blood flow is redirected to major organs to keep critical functions stable while diverting blood or neurological flow to lessor areas. It’s not a healthy state but it is necessary to maintain function. Sometimes when major life changes…
Happy Sunday! It’s been crazy busy around here lately. Broken record, I know. It’s been a blur of random hotel rooms, flight delays, and project deadlines. I’m well ahead of the requalification game at the mid-point of the year with no end in sight. And that’s a good thing because travel means I’m busy at work. I’ve…
Is it Sunday again already? I feel like this is becoming my new normal – get to Sunday and sit down to unpack my experiences from the week before and wonder “what the hell happened?!” This week flew by even though I only traveled two days last week. I’m settling into a nice rhythm now…
