The neighborhood of La Boca, in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, is famous for two things —the football stadium La Bombonera, and El Caminito, a short pedestrian street paved with cobblestone where artists sell their wares and tango dancers prance along the sidewalk providing photo opportunities for tourists. The rainbow colored ramshackle buildings lining either side of the famous strip i Read on...
OMG cannot believe a month up, this trip has been one of chillaxing, recharging and indulging in the wonderful food that Bali has to offer. Lots of long walks checking out all our old haunts, strolls on the beaches, lots of pool time and deciding where our next dinner is going to be! The weather has been superb, around 30 each day, just one afternoon of heavy rain so just the perfect environment t Read on...
We have been here before but most recently was still longer ago than we can remember and our stay was very brief as we hadnt booked any before we arrived and the city was seemingly booked out forcing us to sleep in our car at the Tahunanui Motor Camp.
So on that occasion we slept very little, woke up at sun up, very cold even though it was in the summer and drove south in search of somewhere for Read on...
No, this blog wont be about a Korean called K.S.A. I dont in fact know, if there is a Korean named like that. It wouldnt surprise me. The K.S.A. I am referring to is the abbreviation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A long time dream. One that seemed unattainable until three years ago, when suddenly this closed to tourist country went from unable to get a visa, to press a button on the internet Read on...
Stuffed Suitcase had this to say, with a of my own, of course! Most of this applies only to trans oceanic flights, and most cross country flights. Comfortable Pants I would say this generally does not include denim for men or women, unless they are the stretch variety. Women can wear leggings; men are a bit more limited. But I have stopped wearing Bermuda shorts on long flights since my legs get c Read on...
We have still had problems with the heater so decided to skip travels in Utah. Camping in really cold weather without good heat is not an option. Hence, we decided to stay another 2 days in Taos.
I went to the campground office and asked if we could stay another 2 nights. Unfortunately, there were no sites with full wed have to move to another side without a dump. We could do this easily.

Street sign, in Chinook means understanding, imagination, cooperation, artistic talent, tact and patience.
We woke up this morning and took our time getting going, since we had reservations for the Columbia Gorge cruise, from Portland Spirit in Cascade Locks, at 11am, boarding at 10:45am. We had booked the cruise last night on the Portland Spirit website. The cost per person was $38, and the web Read on...
A very cold wind when we set off this morning but the sun came out and it got warmer, but still breezy in places. Todays loop was Chatburn, Bolton by Bowland, Carters Lane, Gisburn, Rimington and Downham where we had some cake from the Marie Curie Cake Stall. Then it was home via Worston and Four Lane Ends.
Our virtual journey would be leaving St Frajou along a very narrow ridge, gentley migratin Read on...
Friday we all drove to Raleigh and stayed in a hotel so that we could catch an early flight. Tom drove Claire as he needed that car since his car had issues. He then had to drive home.
We took an early morning shuttle to the airport for our long flight to Hawaii. (1 hour to Atlanta and 9 hours to Honolulu). We had changed 6 time zones and almost 60 degrees in temperature when we arrived. We got o Read on...
I was going to do the walk in the city on 9th June. However, Central line had severe delays on both directions; I decided to do the walk around Piccadilly, St James and Mayfair.
I was instructed to use the South Exit 3 to go to Piccadilly. A lot of shops had Jubilee window displays, very patriotic. I was particularly fond of one of the gentlemens clothes shops display – contained several puppie Read on...
