Sunny South Beach

The end of May marked my return to South Beach for a week.  My AirBnB rental was near Washington and 8th, not that far from last year’s rental.  On this trip, I made it to the beach every single morning or afternoon and it was so relaxing for me.  My daily routine was generally sunbathing … Continue reading »

Spring in Paradise

Due to the $100 credit that Virgin America issued me for the flight delay in December, as well as their fare sale, I booked another week in Hawaii at the start of March.  I had another AirBnb place all set up in the vicinity of the place that I’d stayed at and loved in December, … Continue reading »

Thai Time

I made it – back in the City of Angels (a.k.a. the original City of Sin – isn’t that a contradiction?!).  My flight arrived on time at BKK on Saturday morning.  My ex had been planning for several months to pick me up, but he’s been very sick with the flu and hadn’t gotten any … Continue reading »

I Want to Go Home

This past weekend was spent in L.A., not for any particular reason, but because I’m “homesick.”  The trip didn’t start off all that well.  My 8:00 a.m. flight on Virgin America was delayed until 9:15 a.m., though we weren’t actually airborne until about 9:45 a.m.  A friend of mine had wanted to pick me up … Continue reading »

Powwow on Super Sunday

I was up early again on Sunday morning for my breakfast date with B. and his son, C.  B. and I had met in New Orleans pre-Katrina, thanks to Virtual Tourist.  Back then, we’d met for drinks at The Kerry (an Irish pub next to the fire house on Decatur), had more drinks at Molly’s … Continue reading »

Do You Know What It Means…

to miss New Orleans?  I certainly do!  That must be why I’ve been there about 15 times.  My most recent trip began a week ago.  It started with a 7:20 p.m. flight from SFO to IAH.  Whenever one uses air miles for virtually free tickets (this only cost me $10 in taxes), the airlines tend to … Continue reading »

Bangkok Revisited

My second AirBnB apartment in Bangkok was in the same general vicinity of the first one, but a little further back from the Chao Phraya.  The husband of the husband-and-wife team was picking me up at DMS.  The wife’s instructions had been something like to “exit the door facing the street and he would be … Continue reading »

The New and Improved Island of the Gods

When I landed at Denpasar, I was momentarily confused.  What happened to the airport?  It was all shiny and new with modern conveniences, like that sensor on the baggage carousel.  Although progress is usually nice, I kind of missed the statues, gamelan music and incense at the old airport.  It didn’t speed up my process … Continue reading »

Fly In, Fly Out

My jaunt to Bangkok was merely an overnighter.  Air Asia only offers one flight daily from Bangkok to Denpasar and it’s around 6:30 a.m.  The earliest flight out of Koh Samui is about the same time, so there was no way I’d be able to get to Denpasar via Air Asia on the same day. … Continue reading »

Weekend in L.A.

Wasn’t that the title of an old George Benson album?  If so, it’s very appropriate for this post. Saturday morning I fled the fog of San Francisco for the sunnier climes of SoCal.  This was my first time using AirBnB for lodging.  The apartment I’d chosen was in West Hollywood, about 5 blocks from my … Continue reading »
