Mark (travel727) got a list of all the attendees at the Jade Bar tonight, I think we had almost 40 people there! My husband Kevin and I and our friends Ed and Susan (also travbuddies) arrived at the Jade Bar a little after 5:30, and as expected, Ekua, Roger, Judy and Mark were there already! We had…

a little taste of where I'm from

{The first of possibly many--possibly two--meetups! I surely did not know what I was getting into. . .}   There is nothing quite as annoying as taking a good ten minutes out of your life to get to the bus stop early--knowing you’re just gonna be standing there in the hot sun doing nothing,…

I AM STILL ON MY GALAPAGOS HIGH!!!!! This is the first time am blogging about my pre travels.  I think its absurd writing about the contents at what I am packing.  I guess this is just a unique trip, I have a layover in Miami then I fly to Buenos Aires. It is efffing 80-90 degrees th…

The train arrived 1 hour early, but Victoria had called and said she would be about 3 hours late arriving from San Francisco. I made my way to LAX airport and picked up the rental car. She arrived around 11:15am and we drove down Hollywood Blvd for some sightseeing before heading for Venice Beach.S…

  Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be on the first manned mission to Mars.  I've always had an incredible fascination with astronomy and space exploration, so when I heard about the Weightless Flight of Discovery program that takes math and science teachers on weightless flights …

Well I do! Chatted a bit with Mattrilla this morning, who was really sorry to not be able to join me in Rome. Woteva! (as the Brits would say). I'm just hoping to survive and find Jeremy. Would have been awesome to have Matt here but my schedule is pretty packed as it is. Plus, it would have ruined…

I don’t know how many meet-ups you have been to and as a matter of fact I’m not sure how many I have been to either.  But the one I attended today was one of the best so far. Now this one wasn’t advertised much on TravBuddy because work schedules and availability had a big hand in this…

We had an early morning flight from Baltimore so we were arriving in Sacramento around noon time which meant we should have some great picture taking opportunities on the plane, depending on whether we sat on the right side or not! LOL.  Fortunately we did and had a perfect view of most of Lak…

I love watching the fog roll over the Golden Gate Bridge from my bedroom window. It's a mystical sight.. especially when it rests on the water and moves across the horizon. It almost appears unreal. I can't get enough of the sight.The view keeps shifting and changing on an hourly basis. Sometimes I…

After waiting for 4 hours at OSL before I got to fly to EWR, it kinda all went smoothly. I had 1 hour 40 minutes from touchdown till next take off, and had to get through customs, wait for and pick up my bag, deliever it for new check in, get my butt through security and find my gate. Phew... …

If you haven't been to a TravBuddy Meetup yet then this is what you all have been missing! Party On!

I think my dad and I drove around the whole city. We haven't done anything special in downtown Los Angeles those days. So there isn't much to say!

Wenceslaos, (wenceslaos) joined TravBuddy on June 27th and posted several profile shots.  A couple of the shots were a little dark, so I downloaded them and lightened them up so we could see him a little better.  Well, if you are good at figuring out which one he is.  Of the five sho…
