The Ohrns

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Austin for the fifth of my semi-annual credit card and travel enthusiast meetups. This was an extension of our trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands as we stopped on our way home rather than doubling back. Like always, it was excellent to see the people…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands (henceforth referred to as TCI for brevity). We weren’t alone in paradise, though, as we were joined by my brother, James, his girlfriend, Mallie, our mother, Constance, and her partner, Paulette. We took this trip in the midst of our mother…

Angela and I recently returned from a rock-climbing trip to Greece. On the way home, we made a short stop in the Austrian capital of Vienna to see a performance at the State Opera House and explore the city. Our time in Greece was marred by a streak of cold, windy, and precipitous days that…

I recently returned from an impromptu trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin, to attend the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field. This trip was made possible by the generosity of my friend, Noah, who thoughtfully offered to take me when he found that he had an extra ticket available. Since I was…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Phoenix to attend the Fiesta Bowl. This journey has become an annual tradition for us, and, this time, we were lucky enough to be accompanied to the game by some great friends. As the Fiesta Bowl has become a permanent part of the College Football Playoff…

I recently returned from a short trip to Minneapolis to attend, with my friend David, the Monday Night Football game between the Chicago Bears and Minneapolis Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. While my team didn’t win (and I wasn’t really under any illusion that they would), the experience was excellent and I got to spend…

Angela and I recently returned from a whirlwind trip to the Middle East where we spent short stints in a few different locations. This journey was certainly more of a vacation than most of our travels as we prioritized relaxation and leisure over rushing around to see the sights. After a somewhat stressful year, it…

James and I recently returned from a trip to London, visiting the city to attend an NFL game. While we took the same trip last year, this time was a bit more exciting because the game pitted our beloved Chicago Bears against the mediocre Jacksonville Jaguars. Even better, we got to have an enhanced experience…

I recently returned from a weekend visit to Chicago where I spent some time with my brother and our mother. We celebrated our mother’s birthday with a few days full of activity, including a satisfying Chicago Bears victory over the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field. Bookings This was a short domestic trip and everything…

Angela and her mother recently traveled to San Francisco and Napa Valley, California. As it was her mother’s first time in San Francisco, they visited many of the popular tourist attractions. After a few days in the city, they headed to wine country. There, they spent the days sampling delicious food and drink. As has…
