Edinburgh Blues

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Last day in Edinburgh. Tomorrow morning, I fly out at 9am… per Edinburgh Airport, that means I should be there at 6am… ouch… So, today needs to have an early conclusion so I can be done packing and all that fun stuff. I left with a 32 pound backpack, and I don’t think I’ve added enough to it that I should worry, but keep your fingers crossed none-the-less.

California, I Hardly Knew Ye

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Back in Georgia and playing a little catch-up, here.

Saturday night, I finished packing and hit the hay. To no avail, I was dead tired Sunday morning. I had planned to meet Jackie around 9am. Ended up being more like 10am, but I think we had time to be lazy. Jackie got to be navigator as I thrust the AAA directions on her. They are better in some ways than tripquest, but all of them have their own special brand of confusion. I think I’m better off when I take the time to re-write their directions in my idea of easy to understand.

At any rate, it was an [read on]

Another Day in Virginia

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006
Wow, it's quiet tonight; I mean needle-hit-the-floor-and-echoes quiet. I didn't realize the level of noise here until tonight. You see, the same day I arrived here, a bus load of high school students descended as well. Every room around me ... [Continue reading this entry]

From Chasing Sunrise to Chasing Sunset

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006
It occurred to me on the flight back today that the trips to Europe tend to be made overnight, i.e. in search of the sunrise, but the flights back are all chasing the sunset, such that it feels like I ... [Continue reading this entry]

Last of the Roman Holidays

Monday, January 9th, 2006
I went to bed reasonably early last night after finishing a book and recharging my phone (I'm a bit afraid to leave it plugged in while asleep on foreign currents). still, when I went to bed, my other two room-mates ... [Continue reading this entry]

Dead Feet Don’t Dance Or Something Like That

Sunday, January 8th, 2006
Long day. Up earlier than usual to see Brandy off to the train bound for the airport and her flight home. Two more days I'll be doing the same trek myself. Since I was up early, I decided that I would ... [Continue reading this entry]

National Lampoons European Vacation or Return to Roma

Saturday, January 7th, 2006
Brandy and I got up this morning. The room still wasn't what either of us would call hot but far warmer than anything we'd experienced to date in Sorrento. We briefly saw the night clerk last night when we got ... [Continue reading this entry]

To Capri And Back Again

Friday, January 6th, 2006
What a day! This morning we had to drop off clothes for Brandy to get washed (her back was still MIA this morning). Afterwards, by here for breakfast and a little internet time before heading out. We went by the room ... [Continue reading this entry]

Pompeii, Napoli, and the Continued Cold

Friday, January 6th, 2006
One more full day in Sorrento and one night to go. The room has remained cold. It's not so cold that one truly wants to go outside and sleep on the grates, but I can not imagine recommending the place ... [Continue reading this entry]

By The Skin of Our Teeth

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006
Where to start? I'll save some suspense and first describe where I am because this alone is a unique experience. The only night time internet spot in Sorrento as far as we can tell is a club. We laughed last night ... [Continue reading this entry]
