This was going to be the last day in Dallas and I had to take Jaime touring the downtown area. Our first stop was the White Rock Lake, taking advantage that Mother Nature gave us some time without rain. The lake is nice and beautiful, and we enjoyed taking a walk there. Unfortunately we saw there w…

This place is just huge. I really enjoyed taking sometime to walk around and check out all the local items for sale. I think I was a bit mislead thinking that this would be a true farmers market. there were aspects of the market that I really enjoyed, and other parts that I felt were a bit too comm…

Ok, I confess, this was my first TB meet up with a group and I was a bit intimidated. I was sure how everyone would interact, would they recognize me from my photos on line, and would they even show up? I know that all sounds kind of childish, but that what was going through my mind as I drove into…

Day 4 of Texas Adventure October 19th 2009 decide around at 5 am to leave this place as I had enough, I go to check out. On check out at the front desk. The funniest thing happens, the guy working the front desk is Mexican. Now I am not trying to offend anyone here. The Mexican guy name on his Na…

  Dallas – I Wanna Go Home With The Armadillo   In my opinion, Texas has better songs written about it than any place in our country. I can’t even begin to list all of the great tunes that mention some aspect of the Lone Star State. Instead, on the next three pages, I’ll include…

My long awaited trip to Austria and the Czech Republic is finally here!. I am attending a conference at the Medical University of Graz, Austria. The porpoise, contents and details of the conference I am going to keep then out of this blog. However I must say that I am extremely excited about it, …

Temperate climate is a good thing in Dallas at this time of year, but for those of you who hold this city near and dear to your heart I urge you to look away.... and quickly!  My experience here as a solo traveler was that of an unwelcome tourist.Doing hours of research before my trip as I usu…

I left my house at exactly 6:00 a.m witht he help of a friend who offered to drop me at Tucson International Airport. Normally when I purchase an international ticket I do so through Phoenix because the price is reasonable and the route less stressful. But since I had a ticket already bought for me…

It is pretty exciting when you finally get to meet someone that you have been communicating with for the past few months. I finally got to meet Grant. Yeah, we both know each other better by our middle names, me Britt and he, Grant.   This Friday had been a very busy one as I had to drop Ste…

Used Sunday to rest and relax at my hotel, the Courtyard Marriot.  Got a great deal on my stay for a holiday weekend, though wi-fi was not available in all the rooms.  Liked the hotel's location, N Central Expressway is easy to navigate after you understand the Dallas Interstate…

What a great time with Fankai. I was pretty excited about spending the day in Dallas with a TB from a different state. Fankai was in Dallas taking the bar and we decided that we take his last day in town to explore Dallas and get to know more about each other.   It was a great day that start…

I keep saying my trip begins in June, when in reality it began the day I packed my car and left home sweet home Seattle. I was amazingly still sane after 3 days and 2,000 miles alone in the car. I'm not saying I didn't talk to myself every once in awhile. That's a given. But I actually enjoyed my s…

I mentioned earlier that Dallas had been near the top of my cities to visit list for a long time for exactly one reason, and it's not because I'm a Cowboys fan (although I am). I am a JFK assassination NERD. It started in high school, though I'm not exactly sure how. I was completely obsessed with …

Our first time at the Dallas World Aquarium, right in our backyard

If you’ve ever gotten “antsy” on a five hour flight across the USA, what in the world do you do to pass the time on a fourteen hour flight?   I managed to eat two complete meals (lunch and dinner) as well as a snack in between; drink three bottles of water, one cocktail, two glasses of…
