Starting off with some “good luck”

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Currently at the airport and we’ve already had our first mini crisis. The other Calvin had his father buy his ticket for him a few months ago. Unfortunately, however, TAP Portugal airlines requires that in order for check-in, his father had to be present to produce the credit card that was used to buy the [...]

Another 5am morning

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

UPDATE 4 hours later: What a fail. The rain picked up so much by the time we got to the balloons that they decided to send us home. They said they would call us in 2-3 hours if they decided to start it up again but as far as I know, nothing is happening. Nature, [...]

So Close and Yet So Far Away

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

So this morning, I got to upload a lot of videos but the computer was so slow that it just pooped out on me before I could post them… Sorry! On a different note- Caitlin left our trip this morning at 4am to get to the airport at which point she was detained and questioned [...]

Beautiful Beaches and Silly Accidents

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

So, last night, we all went for a walk on the beach.. we walked for a good two hours (by accident) and afterwards, when Caitlin and Calvin walked back to the hotel, I decided to stay and just hang out on the sand like the true Cape Cod beach bum that I am. The tide [...]

Internet Connections

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

So guess what… the internet is again horrendous. I have about 12 videos from Penang and Kuala Lumpur that you will not see for a very long time. I also have a few videos already from Bali.. Do not expect any media postings from me at any point in the near future. I probably won’t [...]

Arrival in Bali Minus Some Garments

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

So – I had asked the previous hotel if they would do my laundry. We dropped it off in the morning and it was left for us in our room when we returned at the end of the day. I looked inside to find that I was missing: 3 under-garments 3 sports bras 1 white [...]

The thing about Squat Toilets

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

I had been a little worried that so far during this trip, we haven’t been able to share some particularly embarrassing stories. But earlier this afternoon I had a terrible experience with a squat toilet that can be nominated for the stupid award. Set up: I’m a little taller than the average Asian (okay, much [...]

FML..?

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I may or may not have lost my cell phone in the internet cafe in Ha Noi. Fingers crossed it’s just that I left it somewhere in our room…but if not: FML. p.s. my chest is fine, but my entire back is sunburnt pink. No pictures this time, folks, but rather one more FML.- At [...]

Background Fail.

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

All of a sudden our tan background disappeared, making the body text difficult to read. We’re trying to fix this as soon as possible (as much as we can with spotty internet connection in SE Asia) , but in the meantime read the txt by highlighting it with your cursor.- At time of posting in [...]

Lessons Learned

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

1. Taking Care of Calvin: He discovered this morning that he indeed left his rain jacket on the Autobus last night (or this morning rather) that we took back from Banaue. Coupled with the loss of his point and shoot, we concluded that when Calvin is sleepy, he leaves things behind. Best to poke him [...]
