Where Were We?
If my memory serves me correctly, we were somewhere on that first Monday in Hoi An and my initial stops at the tailors and shoe makers. Ahhh, yes… The Aussies stopped back by Kimmie Tailors, at which point my orders were put in and ready to get started. The Aussies and I decided to meander … Continue reading
Back It Up – Photo-Wise
Since I was too damned lazy to download photos to my iPad Mini during my trip, here’s a little photo filler until my next word-worthy post.
Size Me Up
Hoi An is famous for shoe makers and tailors. Although I was fully aware of this before the trip, the sheer amount one sees within a couple of blocks is overwhelming. Nevertheless, I made it a point to get up early on Monday morning to get started on the task at hand. My first stop … Continue reading
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
The Trail to Hanoi
Tuesday night couldn’t come soon enough. Even though my flight to Taipei was at 1:35 a.m. and they advise everyone to be there at 11:30 p.m., I was there about 9:55 p.m. Even so, there must have been at least 100 people already in line before me. 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
Je Suis Prete!
In preparation for Vietnam, I’ve already begun my “food training!” I don’t know much about Vietnamese food, other than what most people seem to know – pho and spring rolls. Pho isn’t even one of my favorite things to eat. San Francisco does have a number of Vietnamese restaurants in what is known as Little … Continue reading
