Size Me Up

Posted on 28 October, 2013 by Tina

Hoi An is famous for shoe makers and tailors. Although I was fully aware of this before the trip, the sheer amount one sees within a couple of blocks is overwhelming. Nevertheless, I made it a point to get up early on Monday morning to get started on the task at hand. My first stop … Continue reading »

The Entertainment Center, Ha Long Bay and Yum Yum

Posted on 20 October, 2013 by Tina

While out wandering on Friday, I passed a hotel spa and perused their services on offer. Their massages were decently priced and my body was crying out for a massage after about 20 hours of traveling, so I went in. I settled on an hour long aromatherapy massage and followed the young man upstairs. I … Continue reading »

The Trail to Hanoi

Posted on 18 October, 2013 by Tina

Tuesday night couldn’t come soon enough. Even though my flight to Taipei was at 1:35 a.m. and they advise everyone to be there at 11:30 p.m., I was there about 9:55 p.m. Even so, there must have been at least 100 people already in line before me. It took me approximately an hour and 10 … Continue reading »

Ready for Take-Off

Posted on 14 October, 2013 by Tina

That will be more appropriate for tomorrow, but I’m not planning to do any posting then!  In reality, my clothes are packed.  I’m simply debating on whether to take a long dress, another pair of pants and 2 more tops.  The forecast is for at least 3 days of rain during my 7 in Hoi … Continue reading »

More Promotion

Posted on 8 October, 2013 by Tina

Back in early 2010, on my 4th trip to Bali, I met this guy.  We didn’t actually meet ON vacation, per se, but as we were both leaving Bali to go to our respective “homes.”  He was sitting in the seat next to me as our flight was scheduled to depart.  He was cute, he … Continue reading »

And the Stress Continues…

Posted on 7 October, 2013 by Tina

Forgot to mention that once my computer was moved last week, I was unable to log on.  That’s not a great way to start a Monday morning.  I reset my password via the telephone, then was unable to scan.  Naturally, my main boss had tons of things for me to scan.  I was unable to … Continue reading »

I’ve Come Undone

Posted on 5 October, 2013 by Tina

This has been the week from Hell – truly. On Monday, my roommate, K., sent me a text to let me know that he’d be moving out by the end of October, as he’d found an apartment with his girlfriend.  Did I receive that text?  NO!  Why?  Because he sent it via his iPhone, which … Continue reading »

Musical Tuesday

Posted on 1 October, 2013 by Tina

Since it’s about 12:45 a.m., that means it’s Musical Tuesday.  We skipped Musical Monday because my Brazilian friend and I decided to stop in at Ideale for a drink (and a bite to eat for her), then were heavily engaged in a “bitch” session about jobs (or lack thereof), having to live with roommates, men, … Continue reading »
