Someone Missed the Plane … er Something

Last year I had a one day trip to Miami that turned into an overnight trip. This was the morning flight back to DC. I’m not 100% sure why they took the bags off the plane as my own bags have been on flights without me. We missed our take off and had to wait for another place in line.

I didn’t edit this video for time because I wanted to viewer to be as annoyed as I was.

Arriving in the Dominican Republic

Video from Santo Domingo and Playa Boca Chica in the Dominican Republic.


MP4 Version

Song Playa Amador by Duane Carter Band provided by Podsafe Music Network.

Disclaimer: This music is likely not Dominican but I thought it went well with the video.

Dominican Cigars

We receive instruction on how to roll Dominican cigars.

The Road Home


MP4 Version

Note: The MP4 version is huge but if you have the bandwidth it would be worthwhile to watch that version. The Flash video is full of artifacts.

On Thanksgiving morning, I stopped by the BF’s parents in Dale City (not Woodbridge), Virginia. Then I was off to Smithfield, Virginia to pickup my grandmother and then to my mother’s house in Chesapeake. If I had gone straight to Chesapeake, this video would be nothing but interstate. The fastest way to Smithfield from anywhere north, however, is to take Route 460 from I-95 in Petersburg and then Route 620 in Ivor. It’s much a much more relaxing and scenic drive. Also, I love the old Victorian houses in downtown Smithfield. A few of them also appear on my Flickr.

You might recognize the Utter(z) that I made on Thanksgiving morning at the beginning of the video. The song “Going Home” by Tim George was provided by the PodSafe Music Network.
