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…

On the plane again…Stop 2 Part 2
~ 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…

On the plane again…Stop 2 Part 1
~ 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…

Vietnam – Danang: Day 10
Continuing our move down the coast, we were off in the morning to Danang. The bus from Hue to Danang is just three hours and about USD5. We were dropped off somewhere in the main part of the city and then grabbed a taxi to Sandy Beach Resort. Funnily enough, we passed our bus on…
