Hello from Boston’s Logan International Airport! (Hooray for free WiFi!)
I left my house bright and early this morning (via taxi) and flew through rush hour traffic, thanks to the HOV lane. I have to admit, it was kind of fun whizzing by the parking lot on Route 93 instead of sitting in it!
BOSTON STRONG!
When I arrived at the airport, I cruised through security (seriously, it took about 10 minutes), so I swung by Starbucks for a little treat. (Apparently, we don’t need to take off our shoes anymore to go through security. I wonder what changed?)
Snack
At Starbucks, I went with a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate and, holy crap, it was delicious! I should have ordered a grande. Or venti! Honestly, I think I just wanted a cup 3/4 full of whipped cream with drizzled caramel, sea salt, and a little bit of hot chocolate at the bottom. I should order THAT next time!
While enjoying my hot chocolate, I bumped into Sarah, who is on my flight and attending the same Wine & Dine event at Disney. As always, we had lots to chat about!
About 10 minutes before we were scheduled to board our plane, we were informed that it was inoperable and a new plane needed to be ordered. Unfortunately, this meant we wouldn’t depart for another 3 hours. Boo. Delayed.
Lunch
Since I had plenty of time to kill, I went in search of lunch. I figured I could pass the time by eating! Ha! I ended up getting a Grilled Chicken Club Salad and a bag of Sun Chips. I actually just broke into my salad, and it’s really tasty””much better than expected! Mmm”¦ bacon.
Now, I’m going to get some work done. My inbox is CRAZY!
See you in Orlando!

I love eating a bowl of cereal with milk as a meal or snack, but I swear no matter how big I make my serving, I find myself hungry just a few hours later.
I know cereal is a healthy option for breakfast or as an afternoon snack as long as it’s made with whole grains and low in sugar, so I’ve found a number of ways to make my usually wimpy bowl more satisfying. I hope these tips help you, too!
