When last reporting from Granada, I was getting ready to return to the midst of nowhere in Lake Nicaragua. I’ve definitely had my share of remote places for the moment. We took a van to Managua airport. The actual airport is quite a bit … Read More
Ah, about to head off to another anonymous island in Lake Nicaragua. After Ometepe, I think I´m over the middle of nowhere now, but maybe this stop will surprise me and be stellar. But after getting into Granada and getting to be in an … Read More
Last night we had our final full group dinner. Sam, the guide, will be at another hotel tonight getting ready for his next trip out. So, it was easier to do it the night before than tonight. Not sure what dinner will be and … Read More
Where to begin after days of no internet access. Yes, the withdrawal pains were hell at first. Actually, I barely noticed if not for the piles of e-mail to wade through just now. Last night in Luxor, we did the sound and light show … Read More
Not so bright but early start to the morning. Went with Sam and a few others for late dinner last night. Neat place, not so touristy. Had Koshary again. So, got in aroun 11pm which wasn’t so bright for an early start. Had to … Read More
Let’s see, catching up from my last post… That evening, we took a little boat trip as a group across the nile to this little restaurant on the edge of the Western Desert. Great fun, but for me, so so food. The novelty of … Read More
Thursday I flew up to Boston for a Friday meeting for work. Seeing as the airfare was the same Friday afternoon or Monday morning, I was lucky to be able to take advantage of the opportunity to stay through the weekend on my own … Read More
So, it´s clearly siesta time again. I´m not ready for a nap, but the air con in this internet spot will do the trick. After yesterday´s post, I stepped out into the cooler afternoon when the sun was far enough through its arc through … Read More
As beautiful as yesterday was, today was its antithesis, but I’d read as much about today’s weather. I had a very late start. I think I stirred this morning around the appropriate time to wake-up, but I thought better of it. I didn’t actually … Read More
It was pointed out recently that it’s been awhile since I’ve posted much outside of my photos. There’s a plethora of reasons for that, but by and large boring. When I’ve had spare time lately, my life has been either taking pictures or editing … Read More
I think I fall into the trap of not blogging everytime I come back from a trip. Everyday observations may not be as fun, but every so often, just writing down your thoughts can be cathartic and a little gem of words might crop … Read More
Long day. Up earlier than usual to see Brandy off to the train bound for the airport and her flight home. Two more days I’ll be doing the same trek myself. Since I was up early, I decided that I would go check out … Read More
Brandy and I got up this morning. The room still wasn’t what either of us would call hot but far warmer than anything we’d experienced to date in Sorrento. We briefly saw the night clerk last night when we got in. It appears she … Read More
Wow, basically two days to catch up on! I never found time yesterday to sit with a computer. I woke up on the late side, but in plenty of time for yesterday’s plans. I wanted to go try the British Museum again – this … Read More
Very long day. Well, I slept late at least, but I haven’t stopped moving since. It was nearly 9am when I got up. That’s not my norm on Sunday mornings, but then I normally have a large AJC waiting on me to read and … Read More
End of day 3… Wait, I guess I should begin at the end of Day 2, since I left at the beginning of said day… I didn’t do the B’ham Palace and Westminster deal. I had done both before and the weather was decidely … Read More
Woke up early on Monday to take the train to London. I had already begun considering not stopping in York. I was tired and just had a feeling based on my trips to Stirling and Dunfermline that a few hours (which was about the … Read More
