I’m home in Tampa this weekend enjoying one of my last few before I switch homes for the season and move back to Chicago. It’s my dad’s birthday today and this is the fifth one since he has passed. I miss him and hope he’s having a good day. I went to the Freddie Awards this week and got to meet some of my fellow bloggers. Next week, I’m off to Dallas and San Francisco on business. In travel news this week, we saw lots of routes cut and some added, confirmation of a United and JetBlue partnership coming, some hotel reviews, and more.
