In a proper Seattle sendoff, it rained today as I drove away. I'd like to think the city was as sad as I was to see me go.

Every vacation must come to an end. We were off to the airport at 10:30am and got there very quickly. Enid saw us off. Check in went quick. I set off the security alarm with either my sun glasses or my necklace, took them off and was cleared. lol Then we turned the wrong way after the security chec…

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…

We departed Vieques early Wednesday afternoon and returned back to San Juan.  I had called our next resort to arrange for a pick-up at the airport and learned the charge would be $60 per person round trip (damn taxi union), so we opted to rent a car.  Our resort, the Wyndham Rio Mar, w…

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…

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…

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 …

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…

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 …

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…

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 …

Saturday, June 14, 2008   If I had given any thought the day before that I was sleeping in a supposedly haunted hotel on Friday the 13th, I might have been predisposed to turn innocent sounds in the wanderings of Casper’s cousin. But, it never crossed my mind. Besides I fear Monday the 13t…
