Catching Up With the Relatives
My second cousin, V., and her husband, M., were in town from Hawaii one evening last week. They’d been in Reno for a family reunion the weekend before, then stayed with another cousin for a few days in Benicia-Martinez. On the night they were in San Francisco, I met them in Chinatown. V., although born and … Continue reading
Bonne Anniversaire, Mon Amour!
Today is the birthday of my ex-husband. Maybe it was coincidence that I ran into one of his French friends this morning that I rarely see. Since I bear no ill will towards him in the least, let me amuse you with a few memories of him. I miss him waiting for me after work … Continue reading
Told Ya So!
Remember the T.V. series, “Will and Grace,” where she does the “told ya so” dance when she was right? Well, remember when Maoli and Jordan T. were here back in September for a concert? Although they were standing right outside the venue and I could have asked them for a photo, I didn’t. Why? Because … Continue reading
Return to the Land of Smiles and the Island of the Gods
Even though cruising the Greek Isles briefly crossed my mind as my major vacation for later this year, it would still be much more expensive than going to Southeast Asia. Thus, my plans are to return to Thailand (but NOT over-touristy Phuket) and, yes, to Bali. I’m willing to give Thailand another try – in … Continue reading
Calgon,Take Me Away!
Do you remember that commercial? (If you do, you’re showing your age!) A long soak in some Calgon bath salts definitely takes me away for a limited amount of time, but certainly never far enough away! With the start of the new year and the knowledge that I have an additional THREE more days of … Continue reading

Meant to show you a few photos from my latest trip.
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
Photography-Filled Saturday
Saturday dawned EXTREMELY early for me, having gotten up around 3:30 a.m. or 3:45 a.m. to shower, dress and pack my cameras and accessories. Downstairs in the lobby, one of the hotel staff was asleep on a sofa and another was asleep on a cot. I sat there quietly in the dark. The guy in … Continue reading
Hey, Shorty, It’s My Birthday!
After my all day motorcycle tour with Son, I showered up and met the Aussies, J. and L., at our usual spot. I actually sat at a table in the front while waiting for them. When they walked up, they had two other Aussies with them, M. and J2, whom they’d also met at a … Continue reading
