Just Got Paid

Remember that song by Johnny Kemp? Well, yesterday was pay day for me, so I had an urge to go out for a few drinks last night. After work, I went to one of my favorite places, Panta Rei, and sat at the bar. The restaurant was rather quiet right after work, but the place … Continue reading »

Je Suis Prete!

In preparation for Vietnam, I’ve already begun my “food training!”  I don’t know much about Vietnamese food, other than what most people seem to know – pho and spring rolls.  Pho isn’t even one of my favorite things to eat. San Francisco does have a number of Vietnamese restaurants in what is known as Little … Continue reading »

Back to the Grind

My vacations, particularly those in warm, tropical places, always end too soon.  This one was no different. Didn’t my last post leave off on Sunday night?  By Monday, the sun had returned, so a few hours by the pool in the morning was in order.  My left over pasta was lunch before my second visit … Continue reading »

Catch Up

My intentions while on vacation are always to blog every day or at least every other day, but it seldom happens.  I’m either too relaxed or too caught up in things to blog. It’s Sunday; let me see if I can think as far back as Thursday.  My habit while in Honolulu is to sunbathe … Continue reading »

Welcome to Paradise

Believe it or not, procrastinator that I am, I did manage to find everything that needed to be packed, except for my barong ring.  That barong ring has been misplaced for a couple of months.  It makes me uncomfortable to travel without it (another of my superstitious habits), so will make a concentrated effort to … Continue reading »

Le Fin

Why is it that vacations always end far too soon, whether they’re one week or one month?  There’s never enough time to do everything that you intended, no matter how well you’ve planned!  With that being said, yes, my week in Paris went by much more quickly than I’d anticipated. During my time in Paris, … Continue reading »

Plus Paris

On Monday night I ended up having dinner at a rustic little restaurant called Les Bougresses.  It’s basically across the street from the hotel that I stayed at in the 4th arrondissement the last 2 trips, yet I never recall it being there.  The place was small, but warm, with one waiter who greeted everyone … Continue reading »

La Vie En Rose Continues

On Saturday I ended up going back over to Montmartre to take the Culture Fish Tour.  Two brothers and their sister, who have an American dad of Lebanese descent and a French mother, decided to start the company together.  As far as I know, they give two tours – one of the major sights of … Continue reading »

Paris is Calling

  Yesterday already seems like a blur.  I woke up early, but fell back asleep until 9:20 a.m.  Normally, anywhere on vacation, I wake up around 7:00 a.m., if not earlier.  Obviously, the bed in this apartment is way too comfortable! I did walk over to Notre Dame intending to take a tour of the … Continue reading »

“Paris Is Always A Good Idea”

Do you recall that line from Sabrina?  The ending of that movie always makes me tear up a little, though I never saw the original one – only the most recent remake. My flight to the City of Lights was mostly uneventful.  It was slightly cold on the plane, however.  As I wrapped my blanket … Continue reading »
