Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Last week’s return from Savannah, unfortunately, was not great.

Not feeling flexible enough to extend my trip due to my restaurant obligations, I decided to just hope for … Continue reading Not charmed by BWI, but in ❤️ with Southwest
