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
Okay, for weeks, I’ve been hating how dark it was in the morning. The late sunrise made it seem even harder to rise and shine. Okay, I never shine, but I do rise. Now the sun is going down too early. There is no … Read More
All in all, when I travel, I like to stay in a given place a few days. Much of my selection of the Intrepid trip I chose to Egypt earlier this year was that every night was not a different city. If I had … Read More
Well, first to follow up on my post about the old laptop, yes, I bought a mac. I splashed out on a macbook pro, but I bought a refurb. They carry the mac warranty (and I used the savings to get the three year … Read More
It’s been a few weeks now, but British Airways posted a pretty good deal to 20+ European cities. I was feeling the need (note NEED not desire) to get away for a bit. I pondered all the different routes I could take, but scheduling … Read More
Fàilte! Time is just flying by day by day, here. Thanksgiving came and went. I felt like I spent a chunk of it back and forth between here and home. The photo show was Friday night. I would have loved to have been there, … Read More
Well, I’ve been debating this one for quite awhile. I kept waffling. I discovered that I had built up a pile of points with my American Express card over the past few years. It helps that up until this month, I could charge work … Read More
It’s me here, still with the hobbling. On flat terrain I’m fine. Going up the stairs I’m fine. Going down the stairs, I may as well be 80 years old. I sort of started analyzing what is giving me problems this morning and determined … Read More
After Friday’s physical therapy, I was quite sore. Lasted through Saturday, but I woke up Sunday feeling bright eyed. I still have a little catch spot in the side of my leg that hurts, but it’s night and day. I bound up and down … Read More
So, a few days ago, I was thinking about Mexico. And I do desire to go back there some day, although the fall just calls to me more than Spring. I don’t know why. I’m not a logical person. Logical people don’t search the … Read More
Today’s title brought to us by the letter R is just my nutso way of saying that there will be a cacophony of topics ahead. A little of everything and little of value to world peace. Does the World Need Superman? Friday night, I … Read More
I held off on mentioning this partially because I’ve been slam-busy and partially waiting for things to firm up, but I’m no longer going to Italy completely solo. I’ll still have some me time, but part of the trip, Brandy, a friend for more … Read More
Well, if you’ve talked to me or e-mailed with me in the past month or so, you’ve probably suffered through a good deal of trip talk, i.e. “Should I stay or should I go now.” More than a month ago, I started contemplating Rome … Read More
So, I haven’t posted anything new in awhile. But other than the usual internal chaos, nothing new to report anyway. Fighting some allergy or something. If it’s a cold, it’s very atypical as I don’t feel congested, feverish. I’m just sneezing and coughing A … Read More
