Pre-trip thoughts
This is a top pick! It is the eve before my 30-hour departure to India (via Cincinnati to Paris to New Delhi) and I am feeling very excited and a bit fatigued after learning to maneuver on my crutches for the past four days. I tore a muscle behind my left knee from a little ...
Claire's new smell and other happenings
This is a top pick! Yesterday in a nut shell: Claire is bitten to pieces by the rabid American mosquitoes they have here. We count 50 bites in total from one night's sleep so head straight to a pharmacy and by what they have resulting in Claire smelling like a lemon ...

iao valley
This is a top pick! This morning Erin and I took Sze to the airport. I prefer being attached at the hip to my girlfriend so saying goodbye, even for just a couple of days is not cool. Erin and I decided to check out the Iao Valley since we were already in Central Maui. ...
beach park, pools, blowholes oh my
This is a top pick! We woke up bright and early this morning at Camp Pecusa. As nice as this camp was, there isn't really much to do around the area. We originally wanted to stay longer at Camp Pecusa, but decided that we'd just head out tomorrow morning to Camp ...

Feels like home .....

Heading out in the morning
This is a top pick! Last chance to pack everything tonight. If it doesn't fit - it doesn't go...Typical last minute packing. Susan hasn't even started to pack yet (thanks American Idol) so I expect she will be up at 1am asking me where stuff is, I am sure. ...
The big unstructured plan.
This is a top pick! Maybe I'll drive from Seattle and up to Alaska, sell my Japanese car for gold nuggets and catch a flight south to Guatemala City. Or Oaxaca, Mexico, or... Maybe I'll drive to LA or Houston, Texas instead. I'll probably find a cheaper flight to Central ...
We finally leave the comforts of the condo
This is a top pick! I guess we need a couple of days to decompress after living a somewhat nomadic life. We were just so in love with the condo that we didn't want to leave. But duty calls. Poor Jennifer was finally feeling well enough to get out of bed. She commissioned us ...

DAY 2 -- Secret Caverns of MADNESS!!!
This is a top pick! ... . Each is 18 holes, one being the actual "around the world" course, and the other being the U.S. version, featuring various states. The giant guitar hole is pretty cool, but I really can't remember what country, exactly, it was supposed to represent. ...
Delicacies
This is a top pick! So after multiple false starts, here I was at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway. The lights dim, the sound of drums rang crisply and the familiar wail of the Baboon came. Then, magic. The imagination is an odd creature, unpredictable in how it ...
Back up north and on to San Francisco
This is a top pick! Let's start this entry with a quiz - a quiz question that I cannot understand or get my head around. A quiz question that left me feeling confused and bemused for some time. A man arises at 9am on a Sunday morning, spends a full day relaxing (as ...
The Beauty and the Beasts
This is a top pick! During my flight here, the TSA had inconsiderately cut my supposedly approved lock and rifled through my belongings without so much as a note. This left me paranoid that I was the victim of an elaborate drug smuggling ring and I was destined for ...
Parents, Performance and Poetry
This is a top pick! 2nd, Tuesday: The epic show of what we have been up to, where we have been living and who we have met begins. Claire, Jo and the Palmer rentals walk the length and breadth of East Village, Claire and Jo all pointy fingers and explanations/anecdotes. ...
Back and forth and back and forth again

Hanford, California, of all places..
This is a top pick! At 08:45 the waiter knocked on our door. Breakfast had arrived. We are planning for an early start today. After our breakfast we packed up again (we are getting really efficient in this process), loaded up the car and headed in the direction of highway 1 ...

Murder at JFK

The Land of Dreams
This is a top pick! This comes via the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. Truly there is not peer to this steel and glass masterpiece. These basic ingredients are crafted like the colours from an artists brush to create its exterior brilliance. Among the ...
Up the volcano, camp at Hosmer Grove
This is a top pick! Sze and I woke up early and saw a gorgeous sunrise. Then we packed up and hit the road. The scenery changed a lot on our way to Haleakala. From tropical to desert to mountains. Wow! The temperature dropped 20 degrees or so, and we made good use of ...

You wanna be where everybody knows your name!
This is a top pick! I think we're very much ready to go home now. It's not that we're not enjoying USA. On the contrary I've been particularly surprised by how much I've enjoyed it and liked it. Each of the cities we have visisted has had it's own identities and none of ...
