You know what it is like to come across some shots you forgot you had? Here are a few that I found from back in 2005. These shots are a result of an hour long stretch in the dessert. We just kept taking shots, playing with the exposure time and worrying if we would get hit. It was a fun morning.

Flight was fine. I took a nap and before noticing it we were already landing in Fort Lauderdale. There was one thing in my mind the whole time... While Francisco was planing the Meet Up, there was a TB (Nicole) who lives in Fort Lauderdale, but would be in San Juan during the Meet Up. Bummer, we we…

I decided to take a trip to Phoenix and visit my dad for his birthday. As long as I was going to Phoenix, why not have a TravBuddy meet-up!! I got in touch with Harriet (africancrab) and she began to organize the meet-up. The roster of attendees began to grow. This was going to be a fairly larg…

The weather is great so we decide to go out of the city and visit Grouse Mountain. We take a bus just down the road; everybody is really helpful in telling us where to change busses and when to get of one. We drive through the north side of Vancouver till we are at the foot of the mountain. For…

***Am looking forward to a return trip to Chi-Town this spring, and making it to a Cubs game, although Cubs tickets are few and far between.... I received a phone call from my Sake Bomber Brother, Bill (the_bill), that  he had received a terrific deal on Priceline.com for a four-star hot…

me and Marty spent the day doing errands before we left for Mexico the following morning. I met a few of her friends and we also had some lunch out, i was so excited I was going to be in Mexico in less than a day! It was raining and cloudy and I couldnt wait to be somewhere sunny! Mexico watch out!

Another one...  this is what legends are made of... = ) So we pretty much haven't really seen much of one another... each living each and our own lives. Battling with these tough economic times, and pretty much life in general. We sometimes tend to over look the small things in life... like …

Since I had slept so much yesterday, I woke up at 3am with a damn headache and didn't manage to go back to sleep. So I found some magazines and read till about 6am, then I finally was tired enough to sleep for a little longer. Slept till 7.30am, but didn't get up till like 9. Found some breakfast a…

Hard to believe it but another TravBuddy meet up weekend is upon us! My drive down Thursday night was rather uneventful. I worked all day and got on the road around 6pm and to my parent's house around 12:30am.  A couple hours of sleep and I was back up, ready to finish some work and a stressfu…

This will be another trip of a lifetime for me! I have always wanted to go to Alaska since I don't know when, to be honest. I've had brochures, booklets, websites saved and 4 (yes 4) DVDs of nothing but Alaska programs from the Travel, Discovery & History channels! I've got all episodes of Into…

We are Californians born and raised.  We had been to Las Vegas and Reno and had one short trip to Seattle to visit a relative. And last year we decided that a trip to Europe would be a good thing, and it truly was.  But now we have decided to see somemore of the U. S.. …

Susan and I had planned that today that we would visit the Metropolitan Musuem of Art. It had been a long time since we'd seen it. So, after a complimentary breakfast of omelettes and juice at the hotel, we folowed the established routine and took the NJT bus to the Po…
