The New and Improved Island of the Gods

When I landed at Denpasar, I was momentarily confused.  What happened to the airport?  It was all shiny and new with modern conveniences, like that sensor on the baggage carousel.  Although progress is usually nice, I kind of missed the statues, gamelan music and incense at the old airport.  It didn’t speed up my process … Continue reading »

Fly In, Fly Out

My jaunt to Bangkok was merely an overnighter.  Air Asia only offers one flight daily from Bangkok to Denpasar and it’s around 6:30 a.m.  The earliest flight out of Koh Samui is about the same time, so there was no way I’d be able to get to Denpasar via Air Asia on the same day. … 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 »

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 »

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 »

The Start of the Weekend

Friday morning saw me crawling out of bed around 9:30 a.m. again.  I decided to walk to the Fauborg-Marigny, a.k.a. simply “The Marigny.”  It was probably a 20 minute walk, give or take, from my apartment.  Aside from restaurants and coffee shops, not much was open yet.  Breakfast at Rose Nicaud Café seemed like a good … 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 »

My Budgeting is Failing and I’ve Barely Begun

Every year I supposedly have a budget.  Every year it doesn’t quite go as planned. In about 10 days I’m off to New Orleans.  My plans are to stuff my face with as much fried, spicy food as possible, as well as downing multiple drinks and seeing some live music.  New Orleans has things like … Continue reading »
