Las Vegas Quickie
Shortly before this madness started, I did an overnight in Las Vegas. I’d bought the ticket for a mere $58 roundtrip back in November or December, picking a random midweek day/date thinking that there would be less tourists. I didn’t get around to looking at accommodations until late in January. It was then that I … Continue reading
Take Me Home, James!
In this day of Uber and Lyft, I rarely use taxis any more. Unfortunately for me, Uber and Lyft have been banned in Thailand and Bali. If there’s anything I hate more, it’s arguing with taxi drivers who refuse to turn on their meters. I understand that taxi drivers are averse to Uber and Lyft, … Continue reading
Around the World – Venice
Around 2003, I’d joined an on-line travel website, where you could post photos & tips, write about your travel experiences, ask questions of fellow travelers and even meet up with several travelers. Truth be told, I haven’t logged onto that website in a very long time, but I did manage to make several friends on … Continue reading

My first experience with a Bangkok dentist was in May, 2015, and my first experience with a Bangkok skin … Continue reading

When in Luang Prabang in October, I definitely want to see/attend the morning alms giving ceremony, although they say it can be a bit of a zoo. Apparently, there are tons of people shoving their cameras in the faces of the monks, using flash photography and selfie sticks. My plan is to take my Nikon with … Continue reading
Sunny South Beach
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
Adieu to You
On my last day in Siem Reap, I once again went to the Old Market to buy another pair of baggy pants. After stumbling upon The Blue Pumpkin Bakery, I picked up some macarons. Unfortunately, they were sort of crunchy on the outside. Kaya Spa gave me a very good one hour candle massage for $25; … Continue reading
