My Prague Trip Report
We arrived in Frankfurt around 7:20 am the next day and had to catch the skyline train to the other terminal to switch planes. We were at our departure gate all of five minutes before they called us to transfer via a bus to our plane to Prague. We got a late start because the plane had to be de-iced. It was snowing not only in Frankfurt, but in Prague as well. Nevertheless, we only arrived about 5 minutes late at 9:25 am.
Navigating Oahu’s Circle Island Tour
There are so many beautiful things to see and do in Honolulu that it is almost impossible to know where to start. I believe the best way to see the Hawaiian Island of Oahu is by driving a self-directed route around the island’s perimeter. This 119 mile, one day tour will allow you to...
Why my first cruise is destined to be my last……
My initial impression of cruising as a potential vacation option wasn't a very positive one. I envisioned myself being held captive by the crescendoing waves of an aqueous prison with the ship's captain as the warden. It was as ominous as the doomed band playing on the lido deck while the Titanic sank and those images played over and over in my mind like a piece of celluloid film stuck in an old Bell and Howell. Not that I have a fear of drowning, it was more so a fear of confinement......of being stuck with no opportunity for my feet to touch terra firma.
My Vancouver Trip Report
[flickr album=72157613801976756 num=30 size=Thumbnail] OUR DEPARTURE: Our flight to Vancouver was scheduled to depart Atlanta at 8 am on March 3, 2006; the reasoning was that it would allow us to have a large part of the day remaining to see Vancouver when we arrived since they are three hours behind us. However, our flight was delayed and we were fortunate enough to be re-routed on another (United) flight (that one
My Honolulu Trip Report
Dole Plantation was very interesting as well. There was no shortage of visitors pulling in and out of the large parking lot of this cheerful, yellow building with a brick red roof top. As you arrived, you were quickly greeted by lovely tropical flowers that spelled out the name DOLE in the grass that led you up the walk way to the entry. We took a lot of pictures before we found our way into the store where we indulged in the pineapple sorbet in a waffle cone ($3.95) we hadn’t eaten lunch yet….but who cared? lol It was delicious! I never knew so many things could be done with a pineapple! The possibilities were endless…but I wasn’t quite sure about the chocolate covered pineapple….. There were wonderful displays of the various types of pineapple that were grown on the plantation and a gigantic maze that you could walk through where a huge cut out of a pineapple lay in the center.

We departed Atlanta on an 8:40 am flight on Northwest Airlines to SFO via MSP on the morning of May 10, 2005. After a reasonably short layover in Minneapolis, we were on our way to SFO. We’d never been there and were excited about
About Me
I love to write and I love to travel, so I figured it would be a genius move to combine the two. My motto is that anyone can pay full price, but why should you? My goal is to help you to see the world without owing your first born to do it. I hope that you learn a few tips to get you on your way.
Yours in (Budget!) travel,
