I have *finally* finished uploading all my holiday photos to Flickr and that’s how many photos I took – 2,580. Well, I took a few more than that, but some were blurry or contained only the face of the random person who walked right in front of my camera as I tried to take a […]
After three weeks vacation, the inevitable refrain from many colleagues upon my return was, “Tough to come back, eh?” But the thing is, every time someone said that, I thought, “Not really.” Now, don’t get me wrong – I had a super fantastic vacation and am already dreaming up ideas for my next trip. But […]
And so my first every trip off the continent has come to an end. I have many blog postings ((Where by “have” I mean “mostly in my brain still, but with a few bits and pieces jotted in my notebook.”)) about my various adventures that I will post over the next week or so – […]
Wrote this yesterday and then in my excitement at arriving in Nice, forgot to post it! Sitting in the Zurich airport – arrived from Dublin and am now waiting for my flight to Nice. I can’t avail myself of the 1 hour of free wifi as to register you have to give them your cell […]
Tonight is the second of two nights spent in Killarney. Unlike our previous hotels/castles, the hotel we are staying in is right in town, so it’s been easy to head out after dinner and visit the pubs! Every pub has live music – you can just walk down the street and hear the music coming […]
Apparently my blog was down for a bit – I think leprechauns got in the tubes and messed thing up, but thankfully, unlike me, Kalev, the Tsar of the Geekery and Overseer of Deb0rking is not on vacation from overseeing the necessary deb0rking and my blog was returned to its fully functioning form, just in […]
It seems like only yesterday that this trip to Europe was just a twinkle in my eye and now it’s the day before I leave! In fact, by this time tomorrow, I will be transferring from the Vancouver to Toronto leg of my journey onto the plane that will take me to London! Despite the […]
So I leave on my vacation in just over two weeks (!) – and I haven’t really prepared anything ((Beyond booking the various pieces of the trip that is.)). This is what I’ve come up with for my “to do” list so far: My passport is ready to go and I don’t need visa for […]
In just 27 short days, I will be embarking on my first ever trip to Europe. My first trip to another continent, in fact ((I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I’ve never been outside of North America before. You’d think that someone of my advanced years would have managed to do that by now, but apparently […]
This will be brief, as I have a ridiculous amount of homework to do this week, but I thought that a blog posting to let you all know that I survived the Edge-to-Edge half marathon was in order. And I do mean survived, as this was by far the toughest half marathon route I’ve even […]
