My Travels

I've never been to Nashville and I found myself in the city for a conference. Flew on a ridiculously low fare on United and was able to sit in business class on an Embraer plane. Puddle hoppers usually are pretty small and cramped. I actually found myself enjoying the business class seat and I could fit my laptop roller comfortably on either side of the plane.

Before my event, I was able to grab lunch at Artie's Great American Restaurant . I enjoyed my pecan crusted trout and was too full dessert. I did cruise by Duck's Donuts . I have a couple of friends in DC that likes coming back to LA frequently, maybe I should
