Car Rental For $1 A Day? Now, That’s An Advantage!
Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
Working so many hours I find myself seeking more and more interesting vacation ideas. These days my most frequent problem isn’t paying for the vacation itself, but losing the time at work (working in social services provides zero traditional benefits like sick/vacation time). This, of course, means I need to fly to […]
X2 - Xtreme Roller Coaster Pain at Six Flags Magic Mountain
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
Last fall I made an “emergency” trip down to Six Flags Magic Mountain to be one of the last people to ever ride X, their Arrow Dynamics created prototype 4th dimension coaster, before they did a $10 Million revamp and transformed it into X2. I was very much not impressed, rating it a 3 […]

Okay, Nightmare is too strong a word for it, but it makes for a much stronger title than “My Personal TSA Bad Experience”
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here before, but Z collects snowglobes from the places that she’s visited. Thus far she has somewhere in the neighborhood of 40. […]

As my regular readers know Z and I love to road trip. To me part of the joy of road trippin’ is finding all the great local spots that the tourists normally miss. After all, isn’t that what travel is supposed to be all about? One of the resources we use […]
Wild Vacation Memories

I had a dream last night (perhaps I should say today since I slept all day) about my first visit to New York City. I was only 16 years old and went back to New York to visit the family of a school friend. It was a wild and crazy time - seeing […]
A Brief Vacation Report
Posted on May 13, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports, Travel | Leave a Comment
Man, did I need that! Four days of not having to worry about anything or anyone was exactly what the doctor ordered. There was way too much happening on this trip to dump into a single post. But instead of making y’all wait until I have time to write and publish the […]
What Happened To Aahz And Z?

Although I’m going to try to update Philaahzophy over the next few days I don’t know if I’m going to be able to. Why?
Because I’m taking Z on a surprise trip to both the Soft Opening and the Grand Opening of the new Hard Rock Park amusement park in Myrtle Beach, SC!!!
We’ve been […]
Catching A Flight To A Road Trip?
Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
Trying to figure out this summer road trip with gas prices climbing and climbing is driving me absolutely nuts. However I may have stumbled upon a rather unique solution this afternoon - fly somewhere then rent a car. Yeah, I know it sounds a bit crazy to take a plane on a road […]
