The Ohrns

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…

Angela and I recently returned from a luxurious trip to Italy to celebrate her birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our time along Lake Como and in the surrounding area. Our stop in Milan was relaxing, given we spent some time in the city previously, and it was nice to spend a few days there before heading…

I recently returned from a short solo trip to Japan. I booked this travel because rare availability in first class cabins appeared that allowed me to use stranded airline miles before they expired.

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Japan with her father and stepmother (Mark and RaeAnn, respectively). A little over a year ago, they mentioned that they were interested in traveling with us post-retirement. We responded that there was no reason to wait and, after consulting with them on their interests, desires, and…

James and I recently returned from a trip to Spain where we spent three nights in each of Madrid, Bilbao, and Barcelona. We visited a few museums, hiked up a mountain, and spent a considerable amount of time pounding the payment to explore local neighborhoods. Most importantly, we enjoyed our time together discussing our lives…

Angela and I recently returned from an adventurous trip to New Zealand’s North Island. We previously visited the South Island in December 2022 and knew, even then, that we’d return in the future to see more of the country. As with most of our travel, this trip was born of opportunity. I noticed rare award…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Australia. Unlike our previous journeys to the country, we spent the majority of our time outside of the large cities, opting to enjoy the beautiful Blue Mountains near Sydney before driving north to Brisbane, stopping in a few coastal towns on the way. The impetus for…
