Just posted a few quick comments on Vevey and Montruex. Really awesome, laid back area with amazing scenery. Here is a sampling of that scenery, but I don’t feel like it did it justice.

Montreux and Vevey Switzerland
I just finished resizing a bunch of pictures from our first day in Switzerland and was getting ready to post them when I realized that I hadn’t finished a post talking about our time in Switzerland. So here is a quick rundown of a couple of our days there. We spent one day on a nearby peak name Roches-de-Naye that gets its own post because it was just that cool.
Photos of Venice
Lots of pictures today. Though it wasn’t my favorite place we went to during the honeymoon, it turned out to be one of the most photographically interesting.
Photos from Siena
The last city we visited while we were still down in Tuscany, Siena was probably my favorite bigger city we visited in Italy. Here are some photos we took in the city, from the city of the surrounding area, and a couple we took that day when we got back to Radda at the end of the day.
United Airline’s Customer Service is Crap
I know that the concept of customer service is quickly becoming extinct, but my experience today was another prime example of just how bad its gotten. Before I get into my rant, I will admit some responsibility for getting myself into the situation that led to the rubbish customer service.
Photos from Gaiole, Meleto and Brolio
Today’s photo installment comes from what might have been my favorite day from the honeymoon. When we talked about going to Italy for our honeymoon, this is what I was imagining. I already told you about the time we spent in these places and I’m finally posting the pictures from the day.
Photos from Volterra and San Gimignano
Some more shots from the honeymoon. These are a from the first two hill towns that we visited in the Tuscan countryside, Volterra and San Gimignano.
Photos from Tuscany
Finally getting around to putting up some more of our pictures from our honeymoon trip. We took these pictures around the little town we stayed in, Radda in Chianti, while we were in Tuscany. These will give you a good idea how incredible the area is and how amazing the view from our hotel room was.
Chicago from a Taxi Window
Last Friday my boss asked me to come to Chicago for work…Saturday. Even though the timing wasn’t great because I have been traveling more than I typically like recently, the work opportunity was too good to pass up. Since getting here I’ve realized a couple of things.
I’m so very over traveling right now. I would like nothing more than to wake up in my bed, throw on some sweats, move to the couch, and watch college football all day.
Even though this is my second time in Chicago, I don’t feel like I can actually say that I’ve been here. The first time was passing through with my mom on the way to her high school reunion in the small town in middle Illinois. We stopped in town long enough to visit one of the museums and then headed on.
This time, the only thing I’ve seen of Chicago has been from the back seat of a taxi between my hotel and the office. I’m not sure that counts as being to a place.
Cross your fingers for me that the rain doesn’t delay my flight tomorrow or that I don’t get stuck here.
Photos from Florence
A lot of people have been asking about pictures from our honeymoon and I simply haven’t taken the time to go through them and upload them yet. Given that there are somewhere between 1,200 and 1,500 pictures from the trip I’m not uploading them all. This first installment is a sampling of unedited pictures from our time in Florence.
