The Sunday Round-Up | September 19, 2021

Good morning from Los Angeles! The photo below was taken yesterday at the park between In-N-Out burger and LAX. We stopped by to see friends at the Cranky Dorkfest, do some plane spotting and celebrate National Cheeseburger Day the best way I know how. Here are some more photos from the event.


As per usual, there was a ton of travel news this week and I wrote a lot of travel tips so please scroll down to see it all. One thing you probably didn't see is the United Airlines plane that was chartered by USC's football team tipped while half the team (the back half) were still on the plane. Here's the crazy photo.

My dad is doing much better after his bout with COVID! This is probably the last time I will update this page until I go visit him so thank you for all of the kind words of support, prayers and love.
