Southern Influence

Posted on 13 May, 2020 by Tina

One of my roomies is from around the Charleston, South Carolina area. He’s forever bemoaning the fact that San Francisco lacks good BBQ and biscuits & gravy. He once mentioned the fact that one of his friends made pulled pork in the crock pot & alluded to attempting to make some himself. Well, he never … Continue reading »

We in San Francisco are on partial lockdown and shelter in place, official as of midnight a week ago, March 17th.

Sunny South Beach

Posted on 14 August, 2016 by Tina

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 »

One Night in Bangkok

Posted on 27 March, 2016 by Tina

Technically, it was three nights in Bangkok, but the first one didn’t really count, as my flight arrived about 11:45 p.m.  By the time I exchanged currency, made it through Immigration, collected my bag, got a taxi and checked into the hotel, it was definitely after 1:00 a.m. Nearly all of the following day was … Continue reading »

What Does One Do on President’s Day?

Posted on 15 February, 2016 by Tina

I started mine off by sleeping until 7:30 a.m., then several hours of social media.  By 10:30 I jumped in the shower to get ready for lunch at Barbacco.  I had a $50 dining certificate from Open Table that was burning a hole in my pocket.  I’d considered saving it to use in either Honolulu … Continue reading »

Another Non-Traditional Thanksgiving

Posted on 28 November, 2015 by Tina

My friend from L.A. and I met up in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving again.  We both stayed at The Venetian.  I arrived on Wednesday morning; she arrived around noon.  Although The Venetian gave me early check-in, they put me in the Venezia Tower for the first time.  The room was perfectly fine, had I not … Continue reading »

Wikiwiki to Waikiki

Posted on 28 November, 2015 by Tina

Not long after my sojourn to Miami, I made a mad dash to Honolulu for a whopping 3 nights.  Why only 3 nights, you may ask?  Mainly because there were only 2 more vacation days unaccounted for through the end of this year.  If I could find a flight that left on Saturday, then could … Continue reading »

Oh, My, My, Miami!

Posted on 1 November, 2015 by Tina

My last three birthdays have been spent out of the country.  This year I wanted to go somewhere warm with a beach, but not that far away.  Miami seemed to fit the bill, so I booked a trip using my Delta air miles. Getting there was a bit arduous.  It involved a midnight flight out … Continue reading »

Knocked Off of My Bucket List

Posted on 26 September, 2015 by Tina

What prompted my trip to Cambodia was my question to other travel aficionados – what is the most amazing site that you’ve ever seen?  About 98% responded with Angkor Wat.  Machu Pichu ran a close second.  Therefore, Cambodia got thrown into the midst of this year’s Thailand/Bali trip.  It was time to get Angkor Wat … Continue reading »
