An Oasis of Serenity
Saturday morning was my departure to Ubud. I’d hired a driver named Gede, who I’d met when getting a tattoo a few years ago at Demon Tattoo on Double Six Road. You can contact him through Mr. Rasta Transportation (62-831-1803-985). We’re friends on Facebook, too, so that helps as far as my getting in touch … Continue reading
They Say It’s My Birthday!
Yup, October 23rd was my birthday. Other than a dinner reservation, nothing special was planned in advance. Breakfast was at Café Bali, a funky restaurant with a somewhat East Indian/French/Victorian-inspired décor, in my opinion. My morning began with a cheese, tomato and mushroom omelette and an apple coriander fruit fizz. With that day’s currency exchange rate, … Continue reading
Up and At ‘Em
My first order of business on Wednesday was to hit up Cocoon, the restaurant/bar with the pool where one can lounge away the afternoon. I intended to be there at 8:30 a.m., but in reality showed up a little after 9:00 a.m. After the on again-off again rain in Bophut Beach, I was determined to soak … Continue reading
It’s Been About a Month Now…
but I’m trying hard to remember what happened that Friday in Bohphut Beach. As I recall, I chilled at the apartment for quite awhile that morning. The microwave was set up higher than my height, so I had to stand on a chair to warm up my mini croissant thing-a-ma-jigs! My plan was to hang … Continue reading
My Sorry Excuse
As you may have noticed, my blogging dropped off soon after my vacation started. Things were going alright to begin with in Koh Samui. When I got to Bangkok for the one night, I had every intention of blogging. My laptop was out & opened up when a visitor dropped by the apartment. Well, said visitor hung … Continue reading
The Journey Begins
San Francisco to Taipei to Bangkok to Koh Samui. Believe me, it was a LOOOONNNNGGG day. The trip started with the carry-on luggage Nazi of China Airlines in San Francisco. I had two carry-ons – my rolling laptop bag, plus my “purse,” which contained my DSLR, my longer lens, my point-and-shoot camera, my jewelry, my cash, … Continue reading
Easy Like Sunday Morning
Sunday morning called for an earlier than usual wake-up to deal with packing all of my things, which were scattered all around the apartment. It never takes me as long as expected to pack up things when LEAVING a destination, which is a good thing. I took a few pictures of the apartment for reference, … Continue reading
Where in the HooDoo is the VooDoo?
Saturday was the day that I planned to get out the DSLR and take some big girl pictures. What’s the point of lugging the damned thing across the country if you’re not going to put it to use? Of course, once I was dressed and ready, DSLR strapped around my neck, I heard, to my … Continue reading
First Full Day in New Orleans
Contrary to my usual habit of waking up early wherever I am in the world, I crawled out of bed sometime between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Thursday. My breakfast consisted of left over bread pudding. Scrumptious! Since there was nothing in particular on the agenda, I headed to Jackson Square and into St. … Continue reading
