Liz moves west (Cats on a Plane)
You would assume a passenger on JetBlue would experience fewer tribulations than a pioneer travelling in a covered wagon, but that assumption does not appear to hold in Liz’s move to Denver.

Denny’s Beer Barrel roadtrip blog
(from megamunch) Two residents of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada have set up a blog devoted to their upcoming road trip to Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, PA at http://thebigburgerblog.blogspot.com/. They hope to leave on September 14 and reach Clearfield on the 16th where they will attempt Ye Olde 96er. Two other voyagers have been added to the travel party, but they might be looking for additional passengers so you might want to send them an email if you want to join the expedition and live in New Brunswick or New England.
