The third post on visiting my roots comes upon the completion of a recent trip to my hometown in Wisconsin. YES, I did purchase a cheesehead hat and matching accessories as seen in the picture. However, as many last minute souvenir choices, it wouldn’t fit in my suitcase. So, my solution was like many that have purchased a sombrero in Mexico.   YOU BETCHA, I wore my cheesehead hat on the plane.  I might add that if you are looking to turn heads, wear a cheesehead hat. The only exception to this may be at Lambeau field for a Packer game where this is very common.

As promised, I did eat cheese curds with Wisconsin Salsa (aka ketchup) and I did share. As you can see from the picture, I expertly paired the melty, stringy cheese explosions with a local New Glarus concoction called appropriately Spotted Cow.

In typical Ms Traveling Pants style, I didn’t let the grass grow. I certainly crisscrossed the state. Fueled by cheese, brats, and beer, I witnessed truly epic vistas that made me understand why many people call this particular area, God’s country.

For those new to flying or even for those with seasoned wings, flying provides a great canvas for good stories. Last evening was certainly one of those. On a flight from South Florida to New York’s Hudson Valley, I seemingly got the unluckiest draw of seating on a fully booked flight. I drew a middle seat between a middle-aged married couple that disliked each other so much that they requested a window and aisle to strategically have a little more time away from one another. However this positioning didn’t stop them from bickering across my middle seat or passing their homemade snacks and dinner across my small tray table. Since they seemingly ignored the fact that I, Ms Traveling Pants, was seated between them, I took the opportunity to escape the “should be divorced couple” and the middle seat from hell.

I decided to take my energy and creativity to another level. I left my seat and joined or maybe even created the “Mile High Blogger Club.” View the video with commentary from the most special place on any airline (Simply click the play arrow.)
