Marriott Santa Clara-Silicon Valley

Planning a trip to Rajasthan isn't simple math... You can't book most of your hotels directly, you need a driver for the trip, it's a large amount of ground to cover if you want to hit most of the highlights, the 12 hour India Time Zone differences comes into play bouncing emails back and forth, etc. We opted to rely primarily on tripadvisor.com...

Iberia - my initial reaction to the book was that it a sounding board for a bitter old man who felt that Spain was losing its character due to foreigner visitors... and this was written in the 68! I felt more and more like I was reading the book because I told myself I would rather than because I wanted to. The fact that I was sick for 6-8 weeks...

Dear Friends & Family... Welcome to my travelogue introduction... We are so excited, we just can't wait for this week to fly... Cuz, by next Saturday this time, we will be flying ourselves, to start a mini world trip. Since I was a kid, I was always amazed by different places, different geographies and different cultures... It's been my dream to...

17 days until the grand adventure begins. For now, I am packing up my flat in San Francisco (didn't I just pack a house in San Diego!), selling what I don't need, making mixed CDs and burning books onto CD, mapping and planning the trip, etc. I'll drive down to San Diego at the end of the month, switch cars (i.e. drop off Moby and pick up the Li...

Mon. 18th Sept. Time seems to be disappearing fast, we are now about half way through our trip. Cool foggy day so off inland for some stunning weather. Stopped early to camp at a place in a grove of redwood trees, pretty place to catch up on chores. Tues. 19th sept. Not one of our better days. Brian wanted one last look at the Pacific coast so w...

And spending nights watching movies with a tub of Ben and Jerrys never so frequent!! (Strawberry Cheesecake...mmm...) What has been a pain in the butt has been not being able to drink!

We arrived in San Francisco in the evening. The sun had long since left us to the taillights streaming through the city, the yellow glow from streetlamps, and the glaring billboards against a silent sky. We had been driving for well over twelve hours, and with the prospect of hot tea and warm beds before us, we were eager to find the convent and...
