Know me for long enough, and you know I love to travel. It’s not like I’ve ever made beaucoup bucks as a nonprofit worker–my day gig since I was in my 20s–so for a long time my husband and I traveled as we were able, which is to say that we’d take a vacation outside the US maybe every few years or so. Until my husband started working for an airline, anyway; now we take several trips each year, although I’m still ramping back up after the pandemic restrictions eased. All that to say I was having breakfast with fantasy author Meredith Kasian (we’re doing an event together on Monday, February 3–more info about it here) a few days ago, and she made me realize that I have a different way of traveling than a lot of other people.
