Yesterday, when I finished writing I was sitting in the transfer lounge at the airport in Jeddah Saudi Arabia. The lounge was a dark, windowless room, with cushy reclining chairs, and a staff that was quite helpful. Lunch was provided for free. (the ... Read more >

I have been home for 7 days at this point, and it has been a hard adjustment. I have woken up after falling asleep on my own couch wondering where I was. Tomorrow I am leaving for a long planned cruise, so I am not doing much.

As mentioned yesterday, I arrived in Lviv at 6:30 yesterday morning-which is too early for ..... just about anything. So there was a 24 hour diner next to the train station, which had everything I was looking for-they accepted credit cards and ... Read more >

This trip has taken a different one the last few weeks.
For 90% of the trip, I went to places when I felt like going. I stayed as long as I felt like staying. I only moved on when I was ready. This has caused me to go to many interesting ... Read more >

The lady here at the hostel hates me. Maybe it is because I am older then the other guests. Maybe she thinks I'm ugly. How do I know?-because she asked me to go to the Odessa railway station to buy a ticket for tomorrow's journey to Kiev. She even wrote ... Read more >

The good thing about Chisinau, Moldova, is that there aren't a lot of tourists-This means it is easier to hang with locals, see where they eat, shop, etc. The musuems (particularly the one I went to the other day), wasn't particularly crowded. It's nice ... Read more >
