There are [31] stories from my trip: 2008 World Tour - On to England


What a long, strange trip its been

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 24 Jan 2008 | Views [784]

4 continents, 8 planes, 4 trains, 8 cities, 12 bags, and 3 weeks later we are finally getting settled in our new home in Wellington. We arrived at about midnight NZ time, after losing two hours in our short hop from Oz.  Our apartment is right in downtown ... Read more >

Australia is for animals

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 21 Jan 2008 | Views [715] | Comments [3]

Summer in January? Well, yes and no. When we got here Saturday we arrived to a muggy rain, but Sunday was bright and clear. We all slept at least 12 hours, trying to recover from the overnight flight and time changes, so we were ready to go. We are ... Read more >

A special visit in China

CHINA | Friday, 18 Jan 2008 | Views [944]

We left Hong Kong by train.  When I was planning this trip this was the part that concerned me a little - getting on and off a train in China.  Airports I can handle - I fly so much with work that I am at home in any airport. But we don't do trains much, ... Read more >

Hong Kong is for shopping

CHINA | Wednesday, 16 Jan 2008 | Views [673]

We got in very late last night after a long day traveling. I think it was about 2:30 before we got to bed.  For the first time I can remember Veronica slept past 7 a.m.  - in fact she slept until 11:30! That's one for the record books.  To start the ... Read more >

Dave here - we arrived the The Stansbury Hotel about midnight last night.  The Hotel is operated by the YMCA, but this is not your Daddy's Y.  The hotel is across the street from the convention center and close to the harbor.  We have a corner room with ... Read more >

Waiting at the Airport in Seoul

CHINA | Monday, 14 Jan 2008 | Views [409] | Comments [1]

We are on a layover between Beijing and Hong Kong in Seoul, Korea. I know this doesn't make sense, but that's air travel for you.  Today is a travel day - packing up our 12 suitcases and spending time on planes and at airports. We are all feeling a little ... Read more >

The Great Wall

CHINA | Sunday, 13 Jan 2008 | Views [652] | Comments [1]

First of all, I have to figure out how to change the title of this thing from "on to the England" since we haven't been there in a few days.  Ah well.  We are still in Beijing. This morning we met our guide Lucy and went north or town. We ... Read more >

It’s 4:30 in the morning in Beijing and Mommy and I can’t sleep – we must still be on London time.     Here are some of the things I liked in Paris:   The escargot was awesome and so was the pomme croissant (pomme is ... Read more >
