Beers Around the World
As part of the Round the World trip I felt it was important that I try as many regional beers as possible. It's always been a theory of mine that one can learn a lot about a culture by...
Singapore
Of all the places we have visited on our Round the World trip, I think Singapore surprised us the most. Over the years, the things we've seen in the media about Singapore seemed to indicate that it's a small...
The Best-Laid Plans...
Here's a post from Mary relating to our recent gallivantations (I'm looking to get my own word into Webster) around the world. We are home now and everything's fine. We had to cut the trip short and due to the changes...
Japan
I had to rewrite this article after I lost the original in an unfortunate demonstration of both my inability to remember to back up files and Vista's inability to function adequately as a desktop operating system. I've had to...
Technology Revisited
So it's time for a little check on how technology is impacting our trip, for good or ill, at the halfway point. So far, since the meltdown early in the trip, we've had relatively few problems. Well, relatively few...
Little Update
Ahh, for the three or four people, who are all probably my relatives, that are reading this blog, you may have noticed that it hasn't been updated lately. This is because there have been some developments that entailed a...
Japan Air Lines
After Cathay Pacific, we were most looking forward to Japan Air Lines or JAL for short. As it turned out, it was well worth waiting for. Although the equipment might not be as ultra-modern as Cathay's, the service might...
Bangkok
Strangely enough, Bangkok was never terribly high on our list of places to go. We normally don't go out of our way for places that are hot and humid 365 days a year. Orlando is quite enough for us....
Hotels Again
Homewood Suites, San Diego So to catch up on the hotels we've been staying in. The Homewood Suites San Diego Airport (Liberty Station) was pretty decent. For a quick overnight stay it has everything the business or leisure traveler...
Cathay Pacific Airlines
Of all the airlines that we have planned to use for the round the world trip, I think we probably looked forward to Cathay Pacific the most. Over the years we had heard lots about the Asian carriers and...
Hawai'i Hotels
I wrote this artricle sometime ago and then what with one thing and another (we are travelling around the world after all) I forgot to post it up on the blog. So here it is, somewhat delayed. While in...
Round the World Part Four
So although the visit to New York was short it was bittersweet. We won't be touching down again in the good old USA for over two months. Our flight on Cathay Pacific was another morning flight. It looks like...
Round The World Part Three
Now our trip is speeding up. Or my mind is slowing down, which gives us the same effect -- or we're approaching the event horizon of a black hole. Philosophical? Naw, too shallow for that I am. So far...
Kaua'i Restaurants
Duane's Ono Char-Burger (4-4350 Kuhio Hwy, on the ocean side of the road, in Anahola) I had read so many raves about this tiny burger stand that I half expected lunch here to be a life-altering experience. Alas, no....
Round the World Part Two
So after the little mishap (that's the official term now - mishap) with missing our initial flight, and the side trip to Disneyland, we jetted off to the exotic islands of Hawaii. Well, sort of exotic, the kind you...
Hawaiian Airlines
During the Round the World trip we're going to try a few airlines with which we have no previous experience, so we thought that since you're already surfing this blog when you're supposed to be compiling the first quarter...
Technology Blues
At and around day four of the three month around the world trip and we've already had a couple of technology meltdowns. Before leaving on the trip I invested in a new laptop, mainly because Mary said there was...
