The Elevator Channel

Like so many others, I had to slow down a bit due to COVID. But I’ve slowly been starting to get out and travel again. Which of course means more content is in the works.

Tonight’s hotel was a real winner. Video coming soon.

With recent events, I think a lot of us are missing travel. That’s why I’ve decided to premier a 3-part trip report I shot back in January over the next few weekends. Part 1 goes live tomorrow morning — a trip on Southwest. Part 2 is a hotel review and part 3 is a new long distance Amtrak trip.

Also tried something new with voiceovers replacing the text captions I’ve been using for years. Let me know what you think.

It’s easy to get discouraged during these tough times. I’ve had to cancel a few trips, but I’m thankful to be healthy and employed. Whether it’s May, June, or some time further in the future, life will eventually start getting back to normal. And we can all get back to doing what we love. Until then, I hope this glimpse back just a few months to more normal times can brighten everyone’s day a bit.
