Marina Bay Sands Hotel
Well, we have been up for the better part of the past 48 hours so I am rather rummy about now. We did manage to get bits and pieces of sleep on board our EVA flights, but not enough to be coherent. Continue reading

Yes, please…
Hello Family and Dear Friends! We leave this evening for a LONG flight to Singapore via Taipei, Taiwan. This will be our first time using EVA Airlines and I am curious to see what we think of them. They have been rated quite well on Trip Advisor and on Airlineratings.com they got a top 7/7 score on both product and safety.

The streets of Old Delhi, India
This was taken in March, 2014 in Delhi, India. It was our first full day there. We were a bit jet lagged and definitely over whelmed by all the sights, sounds, smells, color, confusion, traffic and people.
In other words, it was love at first sight… Continue reading

We are sometimes asked what we get out of traveling; what we are looking for; what are we gaining. I guess there is no simple answer to that, but here goes:

Yoghurt, honey and opium seeds

At our morning coffee stop we had the option of trying a local specialty ~ fresh yoghurt made from goat milk, with a large dollop of honey and then covered generously with opium poppy seeds. I really enjoyed the combination of the tart yoghurt, sweet thick honey and the crunch of the poppy seeds. Continue reading
