Lovely Day
Thursday was very nice, with no rain at all. I began my morning with a watermelon juice at Karma Sutra. While there, I glanced at their ice cream menu and was very, very tempted to order something, although it was barely 10:00 a.m. There was a combination called Dream of the Boss with caramel, fleur … 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
I’ll Fly Away
Another vacation – another weekend that I’ll spend doing laundry and packing. About half of my packing is done, but I need to do a load of laundry today to finish it up.

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
