I’m traveling during the government shutdown (tomorrow!), and I have feelings about it. As a frequent traveler, the whole airport process – getting to the airport, finding parking, standing in line to check a bag (if applicable), and going through security screening (my least favorite part of travel) – are things I can usually do…
Like many of you, I saw the news of possible travel disruptions due to the partial government shutdown in my morning scroll.

OK, so I exagerrate ever so slightly but crisp fall weather with leaves turning shades of fiery…
When it comes to scary stuff, how brave are you? I’m about medium. I can make it through a scary movie without being severely traumatized and handle a good haunted house but I’m pretty jumpy. I got the opportunity to check out Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort so I’ve put together this first-timer’s…
