Why do I do this to myself

My end of summer travel sprint

I’m coming in hot this week with a quick recap of all the places and faces I’ve seen over the past couple of weeks. 

By this time tomorrow I will have been in 6 different airports across the country and also overseas. Phew.

It’s not like I enjoy grueling air travel or making things difficult. 

Trust me, I am a “non-stop,” “fastest air travel aggregate hours and travel route” kinda gal. 

But between dog-caring logistics and personal and professional commitments, darting around the U.S. is what worked best.

“I could get used to this”

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this dispatch of my recent travel snapshots:

Miami

Bean vs. bunny

We managed to catch sunrises most mornings. When the ocean water is like glass, it’s hard to resist going for a morning swim.

Colorado

I was able to re-visit one of my favorite places in the world: the majestic Flatirons in Boulder, Colorado.

We managed an early hike before the heat set in, and we were particularly lucky that a rainstorm the night before cleared out some smoke:

Grateful for this glorious morning 

In Boulder, I gave a talk to a room of young scholars about personal financial management; here’s me and my mentee shortly after cocktail hour.

“And THAT’s how you make a $1 million.” Lol.

In flight

When you spend a lot of time on planes, well, you take a lot of pics on planes.

Stunning

I’ve definitely swapped between economy and business classes too.

Needed: Extra legroom in business class

Always okay to splurge for longer haul flights or when I need the extra relaxation:
