Where to begin where to begin....The plan was to land at Reagan National and rent a car and then find a hotel room. I know I know...but I don't like to boo

De mai bine de doua saptamani am aterizat in Kabul. Dimineata devreme1548 credeam eu1548 doar ca aici lumea se trezeste chiar de dimineata. Zile la rand mam trezit in jur de 4.30 dimineata1548 odata cu chemarea imanului la rugaciunea de dinainte de rasaritul soarelui. De cateva zile ma trezesc1548 imi spun si eu o rugaciune in gand si adorm la loc. Nu prea mult1548 pentru ca in ju

Sunday 13 June 2010We started planning our trip a year ago when we learned that my husband Russelrsquos niece would be getting married next Wednesday in Haifa Israel. As soon as we were able we booked five tickets to Tel Aviv and returning with stops in London and Bangkok using frequent flyer miles we saw it as a very good sign that we could book all the flights we required on the exac

Hi everyoneIts that time again here's blog number 7 Thailand and Malaysia part 1. We hope you enjoy it Our Thai adventure began in Bangkok the airport that is. Due to the recent trouble in the capital we thought it was best to head straight down south so we started off in Phuket which pretty much sums up the expression 'sun sand sea and souvenirs'. As we had been advised that it was he

We then traveled down to CALABASH NC where we will be staying at the Brunswick Plantation for

April 2mdashAnother month gone The time here has really flown Boohoo. Dan and Joy have gone on their way back to Texas and points east. I will stay around here until the 15th. This weekend however I drove to Mesa to park in Bruce and Lisa's yard again. It will give me a chance to get in a visit with them. Since it is Easter weekend Bruce had his three children. I was happy to see

Last week we went both to Stone Mountain and Midtown. We had just 2 wonderful daysOp donderdag zijn we naar Stone Mountain geweest. Het was heel grappig want de enigen die naar boven zijn geklommen waren de 'buitenlanders'. En ik was de enige vrouwelijke persoon die de top heeft gehaald. Ik was best wel een beetje trost op mezelf. Het begon alleen wel de regenen en onweren. De onweer dreef gel

We woke up at 7am and again enjoyed the bread and jelly offered free at our hotel. We were then picked up just after 8am by our tour guide. We had arranged a tour to Pisac ruins then to Ollantaytambo ruins. The tour then continued to Chinchero but we chose to stay in Ollanta since this is where we have reservations tonight and where we have to catch the train tomorrow to Aguas Calientes. For onl

Besides the past three days we have had awesome weather here in Juneau this summer. It has definitely been an active one for me working 6 days a week and trying to get out on my one day off. It wears me out and makes the time go by quick but it has also helped me make the most of this my last summer here in Juneau. There have been several ups and downs and difficulties but in the end it's a

Well I lost the coin flip and ended up driving through the Rockies When I got down to about 7000 feet I went into a road side restaurant and had a drink The people there were laughing at me and when they said we had reached a valley Bill offered to drive.Yesterday was a rainy cold day in Colorado mid 50's. We stopped at a couple of sites in the mountains one in particular was stunning Tr

Quito is not among the biggest cities in South America. However it is probably the longest. If you take a taxi from the northern to the southern edge of the city it can easily take you up to 4 hours. I was wondering how it could take so much time driving through a city that is approximately the size of Vienna.When standing on top of Pinchicha the house mountain of Quito I was presented to the a

Sunday June 13 2010Woke up around 930 to meet up with Kristin and her host family around 1130. I was nervous and excited. Their names are Lola and Jorge...both very nice. Right away Jorge asked if I spoke Spanish and I replied that I could only speak very little. I really wish I was fluent at times like these but spending the day listening to Spanish should steer me in the right directio
