My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • We are planning to take a day tour to Morocco one of these days but have been having some trouble with finding a guide from our books. So, we decided to do Gibraltar for the day. I started with a swim in the pool as I have to maintain some sort of fitness to keep up with all the helados! ;D. We headed out in early afternoon for the hour drive in the…

  • We are based on the Costa del Sol, so the idea is that we will take a few day trips around the area. Our first trip was to a town called Nerja. It is the southeastern-most point in Spain, I think and is known for the caves and beach area. Thus, we did both. The cuevas de Nerja were very impressive. I don’t have pics to post now but will be up later.…

  • View of the Mediterranean Sea from cabina Because my cousin came in from Oregon in the morning, we made no big plans for the day. So, for the first time in about a week, we just relaxed the entire day. The Costa del Sol I had planned to try using the Internet in the morning, so I had to go to the main pool for the ireless connection. While I waited to get…

  • View of Granada from hotel As we had no need to rush to get Malaga, we had a lie in – becoming the custom – and then went to enjoy a traditional breakfast of chocolate and churros with our coffee at Gran Cafe in the main plaza. Then, we walked around to see the chapels in the city based on a recommendation from a guy who offered information freely. I’m not a big…

  • Due to the late lifestyle here, we are learning to start our days a bit later as well. So, we made a leisurely start to our day in Granada. We stopped at a nearby Cafe for coffee and croissants. Then we headed for the number 30 bus to Alhambra. The bus climbed up the mountain side showing us a lovely view of the city below. Upon arrival we picked up our tickets to…

  • We had a very long sleep last night as we haven´t yet gotten used to the lifestyle of staying out late and without taking a siesta like the locals, we´ve been exhausted! So, we got up leisurely and then headed out to find Hertz to pick up our rental car to make our drive from Madrid to Granada. It was a bit of an adventure to walk and figure out how to get…

  • After a good sleep, or at least for me, we set out for the Palacio Real (Royal Palace). Of course, first thing is first in the mornings – coffee! We actually found a chocolatier which sells churros and chocolate for breakfast. We opted for coffee and churros, but quickly realized why it comes with chocolate. Still, it was a nice way to start the morning. We took the short walk to the Palace…

  • My mom, aunt and I set off at 6 this morning from my place in Abu Dhabi to start our travels. We made it to the airport without incident and all was surprisingly smooth for our flight to Amman on Royal Jordanian. After a short flight, we arrived in Jordan for a short layover. As soon as we stepped out of the plane I was loving the weather’s lack of humidity and a…

  • Because driving in the UAE is on the same side as the States, it is quite simple to transfer licenses across. In Abu Dhabi (AD), you will need to make a trip to the Transport Authorities (AD Police) after receiving a residence visa. You will need a no-objection letter from your company, a copy of your passport, original driver’s license, residence visa, two passport-size photos, and a total of 200dhs. When you arrive…

  • Almost a year ago a drunken statement madePut into motion the uniting of our hearts.Though time would pass and plans waylaidTo keep us physically apart, Nothing could stop the emotions from colliding.Nothing could stop the tears from falling.Nothing could stop the aching.Nothing can stop the loving. Now we move forward at a rapid paceHoping for a future with each otherPlanning how to always be face to faceAnd knowing somehow we’ll find a way…
