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

Back in early 2010, on my 4th trip to Bali, I met this guy. We didn’t actually meet ON vacation, per se, but as we were both leaving Bali to go to our respective “homes.” He was sitting in the seat next to me as our flight was scheduled to depart. He was cute, he … Continue reading
Hump Day
Wednesday turned out to be a rather fun day for me. Somehow or other, my name had gotten on a distribution list inviting me to a “Private Wine Tasting Event” sponsored by Historic Hotels of America. It was from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. I’d RSVP’d in the affirmative a few weeks earlier. The day of, however, … Continue reading
Adios, Santa Fe
Monday dawned bright and early in Santa Fe. Well, maybe it wasn’t so much early. I usually wake up between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. during the week in San Francisco, so it was already 8:00 a.m. in Santa Fe, due to the one hour time difference. Bright still applies, though, if only because there … Continue reading
Back in Cold, Gray San Francisco
I’ll keep thoughts of Santa Fe for awhile longer, though, especially with some more Ottmar Liebert for Musical Monday! “Santa Fe” – Ottmar Liebert With that, here are a few more parting shots:
The End Is Near
Today was the second (and final) day of Indian Market. Now the flurry of Indian Market will end and 50,000 or more people will leave town, but there are still myriad opportunities to spend money on very unique Native American Indian products on any given day! I maintained slightly better today than yesterday. My main … Continue reading
