Chiang Mai Sojourn
Thursday morning was my day trip to Chiang Mai via Bangkok Airways. After hearing the horror stories of cab drivers in Bangkok, and after dealing with the horrible cab drivers in Vietnam, I was dreading hailing a cab. N. had already said that he thought the cab fare shouldn’t be more than 300 Thai baht. … 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.

Oinkeroo Rides Again
So there’s this Italian waiter at an Italian restaurant that’s my friend on Facebook. He sent me a message telling me about this 4-course prix fixe Italian dinner with wine pairing at Ristorante Milano for $85, including the wine! Casatellani Winery out of Pisa, Italy would be introducing their wines with each of the courses. … Continue reading
