DELTA BEACH CLUB Bodrum

Greetings from Bodrum, I will start this entry by warning you all that this is Bianca typing, and I have never before been an active participant in the blogging community, and therefore have no idea what I am doing. So I will apologize in advance if my entry is in any way inferior to Michaels' entries (he is a seasoned pro). Alright, here goes.....

There has been no internet at the house for the last several days. Luckily it has been timed with the arrival of a car at our house, but we've been out running around and haven't gone into town to blog for a couple of days. Nanny and Grandpa arrived Monday night. We were hoping that they would manage to make it to the house before dark so that t...

GOLF IN TURKEY..EXCITING NEW GOLF COURSES Turkey is a modern golf and vacation paradise and one that is quickly developing as an alternative to golf vacations in Western europe. As well as foreign investment, the Turkish government has realised that Tourism is a major contribution to any economy. Coastal resorts from Antalya to Bodrum have gaine...

i suppose this trip has been a long time coming. or maybe it has just felt that way. looking all the way back to the second grade - when my parent's friends from Sydney, Australia came to visit - i've had the urge to travel down under. so in that respect this journey really has had years of time to brew. but when i think of actually deciding to ...

All right folks, it has been a long time since our last entry, much has happened, much has been seen and many good times have been had. Since it has been so long and there is soooo very much to tell, we are going to do our best to keep it as short as possible. (Disclaimer: If you were involved or otherwise associated with the following events, s...

Yesterday we went to visit Duke U. It's a very nice campus. The professor I met was very nice and friendly, and the graduate students gave me lots of good feedback on the university and the department. The city itself is rather small, but nice. I was surprised by how many trees they have there! Even in the middle of a city, it seems there's just...

6:30 pm So here I am sitting at the airport at exactly the same spot as I was when I left for Portland... Seems like every US bound flights leave from this sitting area here in Ottawa :) So my mom forgot to tell me the exact name of the hotel we were staying at in Raleigh... oops! I almost got into trouble for that. They let me in, but after a w...

We start the day off with my mom and I chastising Chris about how it's not a good idea to make 90 degree angles when hauling a trailer. You probably have a good idea how not a good idea that was... so, when we get ready to depart, Chris informs me that "it's your turn to drive." Payback is hell. So, we get in, and I back it up and off we go. Now...

We would like to welcome you aboard m/s Xanthos 3, a comfortable 21 meter gulet for a cruise of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas in Turkey , where the green forests meet with the blue sea. Spend your time fishing, swimming in crystal clear water or just relaxing on the top deck. For the more energetic there are ancient sites or trekking through...

i am seated in a quiet house overlooking the sea. as i type, my host mother is upstairs with a headache and i am hearing strange animal noises from outside that i cannot identify. thankfully they are not scary enough to deter me away from this computer which i am very happy to use. there are so many stories and even though my brain is fried from...
