Life is a highway

Friday, May 25th, 2007
After yesterday´s long dissertation, I meandered out to find sustenance… and it was Burger King.  Sorry to one and all, but it was bound to happen sooner or later.  You knew it, I knew it.

And after my quatro grande, I moved on to see the Trova concert in the park nearby…  I´m beginning to comprehend Mexican time.  [read on]

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.

Skye’s The Limit

Friday, January 5th, 2007
Yesterday was an entire day just on the Isle of Skye. The weather was decent, not perfect but good. Some occasional mist but really there was some sun, and it is Scotland in winter, so will not complain. Since ... [Continue reading this entry]

Scotland: Edinburgh And Beyond

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007
Edinburgh to Oban Yesterday morning was up "bright" and early to make my way to the Haggis Adventures office on High Street. Was so paranoid about oversleeping that I did not sleep well and ended up being first there. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh: All Wet

Monday, January 1st, 2007
Some of you may have seen on the news that Edinburgh's street party was cancelled last night. All told since I'd been before, this wasn't crushing news for me. It was still a unique event in my life. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh: Multiplicity

Sunday, December 31st, 2006
As beautiful as yesterday was, today was its antithesis, but I'd read as much about today's weather. I had a very late start.  I think I stirred this morning around the appropriate time to wake-up, but I thought better of it.  ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh or Bust or Both

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

First, if you spot some strange characters, it's going to take me a bit to get used to the UK keys again, so bear with and all that jazz.

With each trip, I seem to be more haphazardly packing at the ... [Continue reading this entry]

And The Winner Is…

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006
Okay, I waffled a million ways from Sunday about going to Egypt around New Years.  But of course, after I thought about it two days, the airfare was up over $300 more than it was when I first looked.  And ... [Continue reading this entry]

Burned Out

Sunday, August 6th, 2006
Saturday saw an early start. My intention was to be amongst the Redwoods for Sunrise. This was possible only because I am three hours outside of my time zone in my favor. Still, I didn't go to ... [Continue reading this entry]
