My flight itinerary: TUC - LAS - MCI - TUS, on Southwest Airlines. I traveled on Southwest Airlines to Kansas City, Missouri with a three-hour lay over at McCarran International airport in Las Vegas. With just three hours of a layover, I dared not go out of the airport, not with all the traffic. So…

Over the last week, I was amazed when my friend Brenda (who is from Australia but just moved to England) announced that she's purchased a ticket to come to New York to celebrate my birthday with me!!!  Also, my great friend Lorenzo, who I met in Florence and then again saw in London earlier th…

We finally got home a little after 11 pm.  Whew!  I was tired.  You never sleep that well camping and then had a full day of hiking and driving and let’s just say I barely made it home awake.  Mom spent much of the last couple hours sleeping so I had a hard time staying awake.…

I Flew from Liverpool to JFK. On the first day we had a bit of walk around, but it was absolute hammering it down with rain so I ran into the Guggenheim for a couple of artistic hours. It was great in there. The building was the most impresssive, though. The city is very alive and there is so much …

I wanted to create a blog to recap my first year with TravBuddy and share the profound impact it has had on my life.  I've seen many posts on the forums about whether TravBuddy really "works" and if people find travel partners, etc.  When I read the few negative comments here and there,&n…

Random pics of Mike's visit.For some reason we didn't have take as many pics as we usually do.  Maybe it was because he was going to throw up on the boat when we tried to take him lobster diving.  Or maybe because he had a hard enough time just standing or getting out of the car, that I d…

Ok so with just a few hours before the arrival of the LA and SF crew I set out to complete the rest of my winemaking with my co workers from UNLV.  We had crushed our grapes a week ago and had let them ferment. Now we needed to strain the fermented juice and put it in our Oak Barrels where it …

In my daughter's eyes I'm a heroine, what more could I possibly desire? Well and travel of course, LOL! She could well be called the youngest travbuddy since I have travelled to quite a few countries with her. She began her travels with me as early as 6 months from birth and has since visited at le…

Ok, today is the day I am supposed to be driving down to LA but like always, I never get out on time! LOL. I observed a deposition for work in the morning which was incredibly draining and left me feeling rather melancholy as I headed home to finish laundry, pack, and work some more.  Aft…

And this is how the adventure starts. I woke up very early today to take my flight to Houston and then to Mexico City. Everything went out as planned. I couldn’t sleep very well the night before because my advisor had me working until late, but I guess the excitement of the trip took over because…

The day had finally arrived for the Halloween weekend and the Voodoo fest in New Orleans. I had been making arrangements to meet with Sal (sincitytraveler) since he would be in the city for a medical conference, so I was very excited about this! This morning was a bit chaotic in Ruston. There had …

It was shaping up to be a nice day. The past few days had been rainy. Not a constant rain but periodic sunshine intermingled with sprinkles and downpours. I felt like getting out of the house, but where should I go? Hmmmm……. I wanted to kill a few hours but not the entire day. Why not go …

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…

Who said anything about a meetup?? I needed a kidney.  Not for myself, but to sell, on the black market.  I hear you can get paid a hefty sum for one.  And what easier way to get travel money than to sell a kidney right?  There was a meet-up coming up, and a guy named I…
