This post has been too long coming, but here we are. In truth, I never left “the road”, but the 19 months (WOW!) or so that have passed since I wrote “A Final Thought for Now” were much more of a journey than I’d could have imagined when I penned those words from the lobby of the Kimpton Sir Francis Drake in San Francisco.
Since that post, the following things have happened:
- Started a new job in Washington, DC.
- Sold house in Atlanta.
- House falls out of contract and gets pulled from market.
- New job evolved into slightly different job.
- Sold house again, this time for real.
- Spouse had trouble finding work in new location so she remained in Atlanta.
- Moved spouse into temp housing in Atlanta while I moved into temp housing in the DC area.
- Spent the better part of a year commuting back and forth.
- Took a cruise to Cuba (more on that later).
- Spouse finally got job in Washington, DC.
- Bought a house in Washington, DC steps from my office.
- Moved ourselves, our animals, and our things into new house from two temp spots and storage. The Friday after Thanksgiving 2017, all of us and all of our belongings were under one roof for the first time in 14 months. YAY!
So there you have it!! Why didn’t I blog during all that? I don’t know. In truth, I had nothing to say, and too many other things to think about. I needed a break, so I took it, but it lasted far longer than I would have hoped for.
All that said, my home office is reassembled, if not necessarily completely unpacked. And with all the relocation drama behind me, I finally have something to say again. It will continue to be less airline oriented than most, for reasons I explained previously, but I’ll tiptoe into the loyalty space from time to time. For now, I think I’ll post once a week or so, and build up from there as I get my rhythm back.
Thank you for your tolerance. Until that first blog post, please follow me on social at:

Welcome Back!!

Welcome back Marshall. I am so happy because you are back
It’s so great to know you are a writer that cares about the information you provide. This is smartly done and well-written in my opinion.

I am very happy that you are back Marshall.
Great to have you back, looking forward to cruise posts! Even if you do cruise on the wrong line. 😉
Welcome. So, paraphrasing the question asked presidential (or other) candidates – Why are you here?
I’ve enjoyed your posts, but your re-entry comments leave me puzzled. No snark – what is your plan and how will you add value to readers? Cruises? Miles/points? Trip reports? I’m not buying you’re fully back until I hear (read) you’ve got a focus. 🙂
BTW – I’ve mentioned the “grey” font for a long time at this site. I honestly can’t read it unless I’m 8″ from the screen. PLEASE darken it or you’ve physically lost me. I apologize – my problem not yours. But your job is to accommodate.
Again, welcome back.
Colleen,
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Some of this will depend on the reaction to what I post over the next several weeks, but I would love a healthy mix of cruises, trip reports, hotel reviews and a little dabble of miles/points in what I call a post loyal world.
As for your other question, can you elaborate on the gray font issue? Is that specific to me or something you see across all of Travel Update? I’ll see what I can figure out.
MJ
Welcome back Marshall. Hope to see you around D.C. sometime soon.
Glenn
