Were You Traveling This Weekend? Tell Us About it!

Contributing Editor Carl Unger believes that every trip is worth taking. He loves an extended trip to Europe as much as he enjoys exploring the towns and landscape near home. Basically, you'll find him wherever there is good food, fresh air, and plenty of stories to bring home.

Carl has been writing for SmarterTravel since 2005. His travel writing has also appeared on USA Today and the About.com Boston travel guide.

The Handy Item I Always Pack: "It's not revolutionary, but a small Moleskine notebook is my one travel must-have. It's great for noting things you want to remember and it takes up hardly any space in your bag."

Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Japan. I'd love to take a month off and visit the cities, temples, and countryside. I'm fascinated by the country's juxtaposition of ancient traditions and modern ambitions."

Travel Motto: “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” –Terry Pratchett

Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Window."

The eastern seaboard, from the Mid-Atlantic through New England, is still digging out from a massive snowstorm that crippled the region this weekend. Hundreds of flights were cancelled, entire airports closed, and countless travelers were stranded and forced to rebook their holiday travel plans.

Hopefully you weren’t among the scores who saw their holiday travel plans buried in snow. But if you were, we’d like to hear your story. Were you traveling by air, rail, car, bus, or some other mode of transportation? What sort of customer service did you receive if you had to reschedule? And, most importantly, when do you expect to reach your destination?

Please leave a comment below with your nor’easter travel tale, and share any tips you used or lessons you learned from the experience.
