  • Things that will get you kicked off the plane
    Clothing? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Money? Check! Penis pillow? Double take. Keep it in your own car, give it to a traveling friend or give it to a college student. Either way, everyone will have plenty of laughs with this pillow lying around. Um - yeah. This is exactly what I want to be seen with. A travel sized penis up against my cheek. When will people understand that this is NOT a friendly image? Can?t you just see me? Curled up on the plane, eyes shut, restful slumber with my f
  • THE TOP FIVE THINGS TO DO IN TUSCANY
    No. 1: Visit medieval Siena This is Italy?s greatest medieval town. Walk through the narrow maze of streets and alleyways at the Piazza del Campo.

Cortona is on of the oldest hill to
  • Back in Beautiful Hawaii-ne
    We arrived back in Honolulu on Tuesday - it?s now Friday and we are finally starting to get things unpacked and the cupboards here restocked for our short winter break from Japan.  Here?s a shot from our balcony in Hawaii Kai (about 20 minutes east of Waikiki) The time difference from Tokyo is only 19 hours or 5 if you like simple math like I do.  When it?s 9 AM in Tokyo it is 2 PM the day before in Honolulu so jet-lag for us is not that bad and usually involves fading around dinner time in H

  • Letterboxing and a Homecoming
    This past weekend, I went away... all by myself. Marco & Alessandro had a boy's weekend and I had one long mommy playdate. I went to Oregon for the We Live and Breathe Letterboxing gathering. I flew into Portland Thursday night and Friday morning, my mom and I drove down to Colton, Oregon to Camp Adams for three days of tromping around in the woods, looking for tupperware. If you don't know what letterboxing is you can find out more here and here, but basically it is a type of treasure hunt

  • Spanish Voyage :- Barcelona, The Montjuïc Castle
    Next stop on our 3rd day?s journey was a ride on ?Teleferic de Montjuic?, a very short and expensive ride on a cable car that brings you up Mount Montjuïc, which means Mount of the Jews. Costing us a total of 4 Euro?s after discount, we were disappointed on how short the ride was, but once we got up the hill and saw the old Castle, it made up for it. Montjuïc is translated as Hill of the Jews in the medieval Catalan language, or perhaps as a corruption of Latin Mons Jovicus (that is, hill of J

  • Exploring Mexico
    Mexico seems to have caught the attention of the New York Times. In the past week, the newspaper has published two in-depth feature stories about the country. Luckily, this enables us to vicariously explore two distinct regions of that nation. First, the travel section published a story on travel in Chiapas as part of its Frugal Traveler series. In Chiapas, the southernmost state in Mexico, green is never simply green. From the air, green rolls over the unending mountains, intense and damp wh

There is a tough hike up a 3,200ft Mountain called ?Old Rag Mountain?. It has some of the best views around. I am going to be
  • The Prisoner?s Exhibit
    It was Sunday afternoon when my mom asked me to watch a trade show exhibits with her in the city. Every time she hears an event like this, whatever and wherever, she never fails to attend and really set her schedule to get an eye of it. The reason why I grew up liking and loving the same passion my mom has. I cannot remember how many times we have been attending such events in different cities already. This time, the theme of the said exhibit was all about kitchen stuffs. From kitchen furnitur
