NYC in Photos

Posted on May 22, 2017 by Meg • Leave a comment

Every once in a while, my camera drags me to New York City – and I usually drag some family along so I can pretend we’re there for a show or a doctor’s appointment or something. Often, my strategy on hotels it to choose something with a pretty good location, but I don’t care about … Continue reading →

Lunch in Ayutthaya

Posted on April 23, 2017 by Meg • 7 Comments

My husband, who has gone from Mr. Meat and Potatoes when we met and got married, to Mr. Texting Me Pictures of Silkworm Larvae and Octopus Balls (I’m not being crude there, that’s what it’s called on the menu.) when he is eating out for business travel, order this over our hosts frantic objections and warnings.

Snacking Through the Back Soi

Posted on April 2, 2017 by Meg • 2 Comments

It seems many of our memories of Thailand revolve around food.  (Come to think of it, a lot of our memories of a lot of our travel revolve around food.  Note to self, examine our family’s relationship with food…) Anyway! On this particular day, we took a walk down an easy-to-miss back street, near the … Continue reading →

Schnitzel off Khao San: Shoshana Restaurant

Posted on March 9, 2017 by Meg • 2 Comments

As we left Wat Pho, our friend had an idea for what he assured us would be a great, inexpensive lunch:  Shoshana Restaurant.  He was also confident this was easily walkable.  Ok, the first part was quite true – yummy lunch.  No arguments there.  The second part… well, let’s say that it can be walked, from … Continue reading →

Wat Pho: The Reclining Buddha

Posted on February 25, 2017 by Meg • 11 Comments

Stepping over the threshold into Wat Pho, I was surprised – and then surprised at my surprise, if you can follow that – at the size of the famous Reclining Buddha.  After all, in today’s day and age, we can easily view not only the professional, perfectly lit photos – but also a neverending supply … Continue reading →

Fire Dancing in Koh Chang

Posted on January 23, 2017 by Meg • Leave a comment

Good News!  This post is not at all, not even the slightest bit, about us trying to fire dance, being burned by a fire dancer, or hitching a ride with a fire dancer.  Moms & Grandmas (and probably neurosurgeon and archery instructor who worry our antics)… You’re welcome. No one in our party attempted to … Continue reading →

Travelers… Where are you going next??

Posted on January 12, 2017 by Meg • 8 Comments

I still in the midst of posting about our recent adventure to Thailand.  However, a great friend of mine asked, “Where are you going next?”  And guess what? I. have. no. idea. There are lots of places I could go to again, happily.  Older daughter and I both want to return to Paris.  Younger daughter … Continue reading →

Koh Kood Relaxation

Posted on January 9, 2017 by Meg • Leave a comment

This day on Koh Kood was to rest, relax, and enjoy the beautiful tropical weather.  And to have what turned out to be maybe the best meal we had out in a restaurant our whole trip.  The meal we compared the other meals to… but we’ll get to that. We had anchored off the coast … Continue reading →

Sunset Dinner, Koh Kood Thailand

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Meg • Leave a comment

After the excitement of our Klong Chao waterfall experience, we had some well-earned downtime.  Most of our time on the sailboat was actually motor propelled, travelling from island to island.  But on this evening, we took some time to purely sail, including some time with the 1980 Christopher Cross hit ‘Sailing’ wafting through the boats … Continue reading →

Thai Potties… The Traveler’s Divide

Posted on December 22, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

When traveling in Thailand, at some point, you are going to have to use a public restroom. I suppose it is technically possible to come and stay at a 4 star resort, at least a Thai 4 star which isn’t quite as spoiled as a US 4 star, and plan your days so that you … Continue reading →

Roadside Thailand

We set out from Bangkok on our drive to Koh Chang and our sailboat for the next four days.  It takes about 5 hours to get to the ferry, half-hour or so to cross (not including the wait for the ferry which can be anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or so), and … Continue reading →

Thailand Arrival and Easing In

Posted on December 17, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

We finally arrived in Thailand at about 2:30 this morning. We were supposed to get in at 1 a.m., and all was on track across the country, then across the ocean and even boarding our plane from Shanghai to Bangkok. And then, for reasons I cannot fathom, the plane just seem to drive at about … Continue reading →

Athen’s Roman Agora

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Meg • 1 Comment

I’m not sure exactly what we were expecting the Roman Agora to be, but it wasn’t this.  Mostly, it’s a big empty field, with ruins bordering it.  And the weird thing is that we could step right up on the ruins and touch things, which was so disorienting we kept looking for the signs that … Continue reading →

Posted on October 24, 2016 by Meg • 1 Comment

I love travel books.  Often, when browsing a bookstore, I find myself in front of the travel books and maps of foreign cities.  The debate begins: I don’t need another travel book.  I really don’t need another travel book on my shelf.  Am I even ever going to go to Bucharest? …Well, I mean, look … Continue reading →

It may be one of the most photographed structures in the world… but that doesn’t mean I can’t add a few of my own.  I actually have no clue how many photographs I took of the Eiffel Tower while in Paris, let’s just say there are some who probably think too many.  And they are … Continue reading →

Athens: Arch Hadrian, Temple Zeus

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Meg • 2 Comments

After our time at the Acropolis, Ari (see This Post for details) walked with us over the the Arch of Hadrian and the Temple of Olympus Zeus, regaling us with stories of Greek history and current political intrigue. In previous travels, Scott and I had found to what extent much of European citizen’s concept of … Continue reading →

Our first full day – at least together -in Athens, Scott and I were scheduled for a half day, private walking tour with Ari through <<<PKTravel>>>. Click <<<HERE>>> to visit their site, we were very happy with our tour.  They were very accommodating, and understanding even though we had to reschedule this last minute when Scott … Continue reading →

Melissinos, The Poet Sandal-Maker

Posted on September 5, 2016 by Meg • 19 Comments

Months before departing on our trip, I knew one of my stops in Athens would be Melissinos Sandal Shop.  I also knew that Scott would be bored out of his mind there, so I would have to either go without him, or make it a short stop – no matter how accommodating Scott was trying … Continue reading →

Changing of the Guard, Athens

Posted on June 21, 2016 by Meg • 1 Comment

After our lunch we decided some walking was good, (did you see how much food that was??) and seeing something that didn’t lock us in to any time commitments was even better – given Scott’s screwed up body clock and the aforementioned possibility of face-planting.  So we headed in the direction of Syntagma Square and … Continue reading →

I am no longer husbandless!!  I no longer get a weird look when I am asked reason for travel, say “anniversary trip” and they look around for my other half. The dear husband had been through the trials and tribulations of international travel that seem to always happen to him.  So, he unpacked, we caught … Continue reading →
