On the plane again…Stop 3 Part 2
Feeling refreshed after a good long sleep, I awoke ready to explore outside of the city for a little bit by visiting the Batu Caves. It’s a mere half hour bus ride from the city centre to the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur to climb 272 steps to the caves that hold a Hindu shrine. I…

On the plane again…Stop 3 Part 1
It only took me about 24 hours to get to Malaysia from Hawaii, but I made it! I’ve wanted to see Kuala Lumpur for a while now, though I can’t remember what caused me to have an interest in the city initially. With vacation still left to use up, hitting this Southeast Asian country seemed…

~ Hawaii – Oahu ~ In Japan, I used to attend a Hope Chapel chain of churches. The Hope Chapel group started in Kaneohe, Hawaii on Oahu. So, over the years I’ve made a few friends and though I’ve lost touch with a few, with the wonders of Facebook, I’ve reconnected with some. One of…

~ Hawaii – Kailua Kona ~ It was family vacation time for the past week in Kailua Kona on the Big Island! We haven’t all been together like this in years – perhaps longer than my memory serves. So, it was so great to hang out with my brother and catch up with my parents.…

On the plane again…Stop 1 Part 2
A visit to Japan is never complete unless I have seen my BFF, godson and friend (same family). Since my godson, Ethan, just had a birthday last week turning the ripe ol’ age of 4, I wanted to be sure to celebrate and give him a present. Also, I’m not sure when I’m going to…

On the plane again…Stop 1 Part 1
Holidays are here again. It seems like I’m always on holiday, but one must always remind others that my last trip to Japan was indeed a business trip and not all business can be labeled as “holiday”… okay maybe it can!!! 😀 In any case, real holidays are here and I’m on the planes again…

~ Summer 2009 on Blogger ~
I should have posted this sooner, but all accounts of my summer travels from Spain to Oregon to Japan to Vietnam are on my blogger site. While I had visitors as well, I did not blogger it, but rather put it on my “Going Mental” section. I’m still debating how best to use both of…

Vietnam – Mui Ne: Days 15 – 17
The last of our trip was spent in Mui Ne. We went full out on the hotel for this part. It is a beach town and so we might as well stay at a nice place, right? Sailing Club Mui Ne was a lovely place to end our stay. Since the reviews said it was…

Vietnam – Nha Trang: Days 12 – 14
The first of our six days on the beach began in Nha Trang. Since a bus would have been a long 11 to 12 hours, we opted for a flight from the Danang airport to Nha Trang. From the small airport, we caught a taxi in to our hotel for a fairly reasonable fee, about…

Vietnam – Hoi An: Day 11
Perhaps the favorite city for all of us was Hoi An. Our hotel – Ha An – arranged pick-up for us around mid-day for a rather large fee ($18) considering it was only about 15-minutes away. The hotel seemed fairly nice, though our rooms were right next to the lobby and our room opened up…
