It’s always a little nerve-racking to me to plan a trip for other people.  What if something goes wrong?  What if they don’t like it?  I have to use a lot of prayer and meditation to quiet those voices and say if they don’t like it, then it’s on them.  However, it still is aContinue reading “Casa Prana- Be With Us- Lake Atitlan”

For the past four years I’ve visited this intriguing city with its colorful people and  vibrant vibe.  This year we have our two friends, Scott and Sandy, visiting for ten days.  Scott’s an old pro at Antigua life but Sandy only spent a brief few hours here off a cruise ship.  And of course youContinue reading “Antigua – A Gem In The Rough”

Our last few weeks in Florida were relaxing.  Some bike riding, some yin yoga with my sis, and a few good days of pool time.  My sisters and our spouses had a great meal at Suri’s in Lake Worth then saw an amazing performance of Gypsy.  I do think the gals liked it better thanContinue reading “Bye Bye Florida, Hola Guatemala”

It’s been an interesting first couple of weeks in 2020 in Delray Beach.  As opposed to last year, this year has been quite chilly in the 70s with a constant breeze sometimes bordering on tropical storm.  So pool time has been sporadic and due to rain we haven’t been riding our bikes as much asContinue reading “Playing Around in Florida”

In 2016 Bruce and I stopped off at Malaga on a Celebrity Reflections Transatlantic Cruise. We adored it. It was a beautiful little city and fun to walk around. That’s why when I started planning our around the world trip, I decided to spend four nights in Malaga. We rented a one bedroom apartment inContinue reading “I Love Malaga”

It’s funny how different cultures eat different foods, have different hygiene habits and basically live differently. In Cambodia we were told KFC was Khmer Fried Cricket. The Cambodians are known to eat all exotic insects including tarantulas. In Borneo, we never were served any form of bread during meals. Boy was I missing morning pastry.Continue reading “Back to Western Civilization”

We woke really early for our morning river cruise hoping to spot an orangutan in the wild. Since Bruce and I retired, we generally sleep in until 8 am. This trip has not been a vacation in that sense. Rising at 5 am sometimes feels like pure torture. I wish I could say I likeContinue reading “The Man of the Forest – Part 2”

Those who know me, know I have a fascination with primates. In fact, if I was younger and had time for yet another career, I would have loved to have been doing the work of Jane Goodall or Dian Fossi. Well I wouldn’t want to meet my demise in similar fashion to Ms. Fossi butContinue reading “The Man of the Forest”

There were no direct flights from Hanoi to Sandaken so I figured it would be fun to spend two nights in Kuala Lumpur. It really was only one full day, since we arrived at 8:30pm on Friday night and were leaving 6am Sunday morning. Getting through the airport was a feat in itself. It wasContinue reading “A Quick Visit to Kuala Lumpur”

We took a leisurely trip back from Halong Bay. We first stopped at a little farm on the side of the road. They were growing green onions, basil, beans and a variety of other herbs that I did not know but have recently tasted. Our next stop was a huge shop with very clean happyContinue reading “Saying Goodbye to Friends and Vietnam”
