Paris to San Francisco Part 2

Regular blog readers will note that there is quite a gap in the telling of this end of the Spring Fling 2018 and I must say, this month has flown by. I certainly have accomplished a lot already! My home is spruced up and on…

City of Light to City By The Bay Part 1

Boy oh boy! I owe you some stories and insight! Life got “real” when we arrived home to the mountains for the first time since January 10th! All was well on our arrival and we are settled back in for the most part. (To do…

Buda and Pest and the Danube In Between

Flying from Athens to Budapest via Ryan Air we really had to watch our packing. The value of the battery operated lb/kilo scale we ordered from Amazon is a must have when traveling via air to multiple locations. Whether you’re like us and pack to…

Phew! Fourteen days of very little internet! Frustrating at times, exhilarating at others, but we survived this crossing at sea and gave ourselves a true break from reality. Enjoy these tidbits I have compiled about the beginning of this Spring Fling 2018 and continue to…

Northern Food Finale Plus Bangkok Dining and Exit

Arriving late after being “Shang-haied in Shang Hai” we decided to wait a little later to eat on the first night of my friends arrival to Chiang Mai. We wondered the blocks between and around our condo and her hotel. Finally, we decided it was…

Lanna Kingdom Adventures

Feeding the gambler/sports addict in us we made our way on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to the horse track located at the Lanna Sports Center. Yes, the thoroughbreds with color clad jockeys on their back with live betting amongst the Thai locals! Gambling is strictly…
