In the …
I'll be walking out the door to go to Milwaukee in about 20 minutes. No plans in mind yet, but we did book a hotel. It was $91!!! Damn. But it's very close to downtown, and the last time I went there I sprung for the much cheaper alternative and ended up paying the …

I finally told my parents about theALTERNAtraveler project and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they are both 100% supportive of the idea. In fact, my dad told me that about 20 years ago he considered creating a travel magazine of his own. Who knew?

Omaha, NE and Buffalo, NY have been the two most recommended places for me to visit next month, and out of the two, I chose Omaha.
Why, you ask?
First of all, it's closer. It should only take me about seven hours to get there, as opposed to nine or nine and a half to get …

I've come up with some ideas for next month's solo trip. I've narrowed it down to places that are within approximately nine hours of my home, as I'll only have a weekend and I'd like to enjoy a nice, quiet drive instead of flying anywhere.
