China Itinerary

... on my iPhone direct to flickr.  When we went to Scotland and Egypt many of the photos for TravelPod were updated from Placentia after the fact.  Kind of anti-climactic.  I'm sure that a majority of the photos will still show up after the ...

Disneyland and Santa Monica
Jul 30, 2009 (4 photos)

We arrived around 2.00pm and found a camp site in Anaheim (5mins away from Disney). It was $55 a night so we checked the price of the Holiday Inn and because they have a promotion at the moment (stay 2 nights get one free) it only worked out $10 more to ...

Four Days to Go
Mar 5, 2006 (1 photos)

We're only about 4 days away now, and wrapped up in prepping the house, packing bags, and learning basic Arabic. Caiti's doing great with the three abovementioned tasks; I'm about two months behind. We've gotten our vaccinations (polio, hep-a, measles ...

Diversion Ends, Changed Priorities Ahead

So, 42 hours from the door of the Dene Guest House to Hibiscusland and we're home. The cats are confused and so are our bodies, but we're home! I've added in a bunch of photos to the earlier entries, so if you're inclined feel free to browse through ...
