First Impression of Siem Reap

Believe it or not, after all of your patient waiting, I’m finally going to fill you in on Cambodia.  My flight to Siem Reap from Denpasar via Air Asia required a layover in Kuala Lumpur.  Though it was very tempting to buy an overpriced purse from Barbara Riehl at one of the shops, I parked myself … Continue reading »

So Much For Sleeping In!

My plans to sleep in on Sunday were dashed by the neighboring roosters.  A few roosters crowing in the morning is always to be expected, but the fighting cocks in the compound next door seemed to be going extra crazy!  Since they wouldn’t allow me to sleep in, then perhaps lounging by the pool would … Continue reading »

It’s Saturday – It Must be Seminyak

I was up kind of early on Saturday, not wanting to to wait too long to leave Ubud.  Quite frankly, the longer I wait to leave Ubud, the more difficult it is.  I didn’t have a driver, so simply walked outside the hotel to find a couple of guys hanging out there.  They asked if … Continue reading »

No Photos!

Though I took plenty of photos, as per my usual, they were NOT compliments of the scheduled photography tour.  After someone from Honeymoon Guesthouse picked me up from A.’s house the night before and after getting up extra early to shower, pack my camera equipment AND have breakfast, the photography tour guide did NOT show … Continue reading »

Return to the Fog

Tuesday came too soon and, with it, my final hours in New Orleans.  I slept slightly later than on Saturday or Sunday, but got up earlier than on Monday in order to pack.  The majority of my beads were NOT going in my suitcase, as they weighed a ton.  I only picked out some of … Continue reading »

Muffelatta Monday

You know what was on my mind for Monday, right?  I intended to have a muffeletta, come Hell or high water! My first stop was at Hotel Villa Convento, though.  I’d met T. on my last trip to New Orleans (we’d gone to Celebration Hall together) and she works most mornings at Hotel Villa Convento.  … 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 »

Kiss Me, I’m Irish!

Saturday morning I had a reservation at Red Gravy for breakfast.  This restaurant is owned by an East Coast Italian woman, the red gravy refers to marinara sauce and it’s located just across Canal Street in the Central Business District.  On Yelp and Tripadvisor, there have been numerous complaints about the service, rudeness and the owner, … 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 »

Headless Buddhas

On Saturday morning, N. once again brought me breakfast, which he’d made at home.  After I’d eaten, we decided to go to Chatuchak Market (also known as JJ Market) first, then head out of town to Ayuthaya.  I was excited to finally see both of them. Chatuchak is huge, with both an outside and an … Continue reading »
