My Last Full Day in Hanoi

Tuesday was my last full day in Hanoi, yet I still wasn’t that interested in seeing the sights or dealing with any more taxi drivers.  Believe it or not, after breakfast,  I spent a few hours back in my room!  Which reminds me, I’d like to comment on the breakfast at Art Boutique Hotel.  There … Continue reading »

Back to Hectic Hanoi

Leaving Hoi An on Sunday morning made me a bit sad.  I’d gotten used to the slow pace and relative quietness of the little town. Three Kiwis were sharing a driver with me to the Da Nang Airport.  Of course, we struck up a conversation en route to the airport.  They were actually on their … Continue reading »

Back It Up – Photo-Wise

The Entertainment Center, Ha Long Bay and Yum Yum

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 »

Tuesday night couldn’t come soon enough.

It took me approximately an hour and 10 … Continue reading »

Ready for Take-Off

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 »

Checking Things Off

There are 3, actually 4, more trips for me coming up before the end of the year.  The upcoming one next week will be Santa Fe, the longest one will be Vietnam, the one I’m most excited about is Hawaii and then there’s that little jaunt to Las Vegas just because. Santa Fe is, for … Continue reading »

Trial and Error Travel

There’s a bit of a lull before my next trip.  It’s not even the end of June and I’ll be “stationary” in San Francisco until mid-August.  On August 16th, I’ll fly to Albuquerque, New Mexico, then take a shuttle to Santa Fe to be there the weekend of Indian Market.  A couple of people had … Continue reading »
