Nonna had a great picture in her blog of the San Diego Wild Animal Park of a great bird.  The bird was a West African Crowned Crane.  But there was another one in the picture which didn't look very good.  So she asked me to take the second bird out. I did my Paint Shop Pro…

WOW!!! What a great weekend in NYC. I was a bit nervous about this one, just because of so many TB peeps who were coming. I am somewhat shy in large crowds and wasn't sure if I would be comfortable in this setting, but all my fears were soon removed.  I will admit, the wine and Patron helped m…

For our big trip this year we decided to take a cruise.  Something we had never done before.  We got a very good deal on the cruise part of the trip and figured we have to suffer anyway on the flights to and from no matter where we decided to go.  Well, we picked Alaska for a few rea…

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…

***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…

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…

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…
