The Ohrns

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to the island of Maui in Hawaii. We hiked, snorkeled, watched a beautiful sunrise, and spent time exploring the unique natural landscape. This was our first time on Maui and, while we enjoyed our time on the island, we didn’t feel like it lived up to its…

Editor’s note: This post was written by Angela, so the first-person refers to her (unlike most content on this site). I recently returned from a girls’ trip to Malaysia with my good friend Xiaoling. While there, we spent time in Penang, the Cameron Highlands, and Kuala Lumpur. This was a new destination for me, and…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Austin for the fifth of my semi-annual credit card and travel enthusiast meetups. This was an extension of our trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands as we stopped on our way home rather than doubling back. Like always, it was excellent to see the people…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands (henceforth referred to as TCI for brevity). We weren’t alone in paradise, though, as we were joined by my brother, James, his girlfriend, Mallie, our mother, Constance, and her partner, Paulette. We took this trip in the midst of our mother…

Angela and I recently returned from a rock-climbing trip to Greece. On the way home, we made a short stop in the Austrian capital of Vienna to see a performance at the State Opera House and explore the city. Our time in Greece was marred by a streak of cold, windy, and precipitous days that…

I recently returned from an impromptu trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin, to attend the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field. This trip was made possible by the generosity of my friend, Noah, who thoughtfully offered to take me when he found that he had an extra ticket available. Since I was…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Phoenix to attend the Fiesta Bowl. This journey has become an annual tradition for us, and, this time, we were lucky enough to be accompanied to the game by some great friends. As the Fiesta Bowl has become a permanent part of the College Football Playoff…

I recently returned from a short trip to Minneapolis to attend, with my friend David, the Monday Night Football game between the Chicago Bears and Minneapolis Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. While my team didn’t win (and I wasn’t really under any illusion that they would), the experience was excellent and I got to spend…

Angela and I recently returned from a whirlwind trip to the Middle East where we spent short stints in a few different locations. This journey was certainly more of a vacation than most of our travels as we prioritized relaxation and leisure over rushing around to see the sights. After a somewhat stressful year, it…

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…
