So, what to do with an unexpected day off and full flights everywhere?  This was the dilemma I faced this past Friday, so I played tourist once again in Milwaukee.  This day, I decided to explore some Milwaukee stereotypes.  I suppose not so much stereotypes, but explore the things t…

There's something special about a lightning storm - something that can't quite be put into words.It only needs to be witnessed with the eyes...

The video isnt here yet.. but here's a little (or not so little!) account of my latest adventure!   "Winter is fast approaching.. the warmth of the summer may last only a few weeks more. I wont be here for another summer. This is it. If I ever want to jump out of a plane, now's the ti…

Another trip to the great State of Wisconsin and this time around I’m getting a little used to the snow and the temperatures below 20 degrees. This time around I will be having dinner with Jim since the promise I made in January did not mature given the limited time I had (10 hours in total). Jim…

While I was on vacation back in my hometown of Milwaukee, I had time to get to meet with Jim ( Blenderboy) and his wife Joy!! I was invited to a Mexican restaurant, Conjietos. I think they were both VERY surprised that I did showed up and that I was really infact the girl that I am from Travbuddy!…

So I arrived in Milwaukee on a Thursday night, ready for a 3 day conference of too much talk and too much pastry. Ended up having a great time meeting people from all over the country and the world! I already knew some people from Argentina and Norway  (I had met them there 2 years ago) but al…

We are now back home after a 22-hour drive in a Saturn sedan with two huge chocolate Labrador Retrievers in our backseat. The cold temperatures hit us shortly after we got into Georgia and then the snow greeted us in Indiana. Nothing like a cold welcome home to numb our senses. Alright, so I can't…

My company sent me to Milwaukee for 10 months in 2008.

One of the cool things I get to do for my job is occasionally travel to places for alumni events.  Well in July I was lucky enough to go to Milwaukee, WI to see the Cubs/Brewers game.  This was really exciting for many reasons.  One, because I get to travel to a different city to put…

I love every summer in Milwaukee. Check out these photographs that I took in 2006 summerfest the last time I was there.

We had a four day weekend that started out with a plan to go to New York to visit a friend. Thursday night the flight for Friday morning was showing only two seats open, and I didn't have the energy or the desire to wake up at 5 am to maybe get on a flight. I explored every single other option. Bos…
