I caught a taxi at 4am to BKK airport. I was worried that I might not find one, but my host assured me it would be easy and less than 200THB. Luckily, I only had to wave down two taxis to find one willing to take me to the airport AND use the …
I’ve just passed my first 24 hrs in Bangkok, and have the energy to write! I arrived yesterday at 6:45am. Usually, when I get to a place that uses a new currency, my first stop after getting off the plane is the ATM for some pocket money. Guess what I forgot to do! I forgot …
Fun with free wifi on Norwegian Air!
This afternoon I took the vaporetto from San Marco to Murano, and changed vessels to Burano Island. The whole trip is about an hour and a half each way, and spent an hour on the island. Burano is a lovely and quiet change. Quiet canals, and no crush of tourist crowds. Many sweet lace shops …

Nice was lovely, even in the rain, however I will have to return another time to fully appreciate the beauty of Nice and take a visit to Cannes and Monaco. Unfortunately, I was sick for most of my time in Nice, but luckily, I had a bed, and access to good food to recover. When …
My last day in Paris found me in a tiny bit more of a rush than I was originally planning. My original flight from Paris to Nice was supposed to be later in the day, but because of a ATC strike called just the day before, that only affected the afternoon’s flights, I had to …
While I’m taking time to recover from this cold, I figure I’ll update my blog with some old photos from my November trip to Costa Rica. I spent seven days there learning to Surf. I was successful, though it wasn’t pretty! LOL! Here are some photos that really are lovely!
Hi Everyone! While I’ve been posting on my Facebook page regularly, I’ve been ignoring my actual blog! For shame! I’ve run out of excuses, and will be posting more regularly. My plan is to provide 2 weekly updates, one each on Monday and Thursday/Friday. I’ll also hopefully be submitting posts to catch you all …
