Catch Up

My intentions while on vacation are always to blog every day or at least every other day, but it seldom happens.  I’m either too relaxed or too caught up in things to blog. It’s Sunday; let me see if I can think as far back as Thursday.  My habit while in Honolulu is to sunbathe … Continue reading »

Welcome to Paradise

Believe it or not, procrastinator that I am, I did manage to find everything that needed to be packed, except for my barong ring.  That barong ring has been misplaced for a couple of months.  It makes me uncomfortable to travel without it (another of my superstitious habits), so will make a concentrated effort to … Continue reading »

OMG, Becky! I Almost Forgot…

Musical Monday.  Granted, it’s Tuesday, so I’m late!  Whatever!  Here it is.  This song reminds me of my first trip to Paris.  Johnny was driving me to the airport and we were singing along to this quite loudly ’cause we were cool like that! “Story of My Life” – Social Distortion

A Helping Hand

For some reason, people constantly ask me for money.  Is it because, for the most part, I seemingly have my life in order?  Is it because I tend to travel a lot?  The reason I’m not destitute is because I don’t live WILDLY beyond my means.  I shop at CostCo, Target and Trader Joe’s for … Continue reading »

Dirty Business

I’ve got four things on my “Dirty Business” list.  These are the things that I don’t look forward to doing, but they need to be done for my mental and emotional well-being. Dirty Business Number One is to give my roommate his 30 Day Notice.  He won’t be happy.  In fact, I think he’ll try … Continue reading »

A Little Kiss of Paradise

Since my next trip is to Hawaii, I wanted to relate a little story to you.  Several years ago, when I’d just started a new job, I decided to go to Hawaii.  For one reason, it was because it was over a holiday.  For the second reason, once my mind is made up, nothing can … Continue reading »

Back to the City Different

My plans are set – the ticket is bought, the casita is reserved and the deposit is paid. I’m FINALLY going to go to Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico this year!!!  My two previous trips to Santa Fe were in the winter.  While it’s still lovely then, I’m looking forward to seeing it … Continue reading »

Le Fin

Why is it that vacations always end far too soon, whether they’re one week or one month?  There’s never enough time to do everything that you intended, no matter how well you’ve planned!  With that being said, yes, my week in Paris went by much more quickly than I’d anticipated. During my time in Paris, … Continue reading »

Plus Paris

On Monday night I ended up having dinner at a rustic little restaurant called Les Bougresses.  It’s basically across the street from the hotel that I stayed at in the 4th arrondissement the last 2 trips, yet I never recall it being there.  The place was small, but warm, with one waiter who greeted everyone … Continue reading »

The Truth Is…

I was always meant for Paris and Paris was always meant for me.  I tried to tell myself that Italy better suited me.  I even tried to find my spirituality in Bali.  Now that I’m here again, I realize that Paris is my one true love.  She’s neither broken my spirit or my heart, and … Continue reading »
