When planning this trip, I was a little freaked out about traveling India on our own. So we booked a 15 day tour with Gate 1 Travel about in the middle. This was our safety net and our time to relax a little with all the planning and figuring things out on our own (that…

When I went back to pick up my tailor made outfit, it fit perfectly. Don’t know where I am ever going to wear it, except maybe around the house, but I love it. I have never had anything tailor made for me and the whole outfit with pants, top, and matching scarf was about $45….

The sleeper car train was a trip. 4 bunks in our cabin. They give you pillows and blankets (who knows the last time they were cleaned) and “rent” you sheets for 100 rupees which is about $1.50. The chai wallah comes by very often and each chai tastes a little different and costs different, either…

We are back in New Delhi and finally have some good WiFi, so we will be doing a bunch of posts in the next few days to try to catch up. In the mean time, the Phuket post has been updated. Enjoy, and thanks for following us Geezers!

The rumbling started after our last dinner in Bangkok. I ordered minced catfish and I think they forgot the fish part! Our flight to Phuket was uneventful and the taxi ride through Phukett City and Patong made us glad we did not choose either of those locations…way too busy. When we arrived at our lovely…

What a city!!! The modern stores and conveniences (like cell phones…oh, and the Thai are as bad as the US as far as everybody everywhere is always looking at their damn phones!) live side-by-side with decaying infrastructure, massive traffic congestion, and Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Armani!! We arrived at about 2:30 pm on Thursday, Sept…

Believe it or not, we get on a plane to Bangkok in 8 days! AAARRRGGGHHH! We have so much to get done. The e-visa  for India has been approved (that was easy – NOT!) We have gotten our “letter of recommendation” for Vietnam; we will get the Cambodian visa at the border and we don’t…

I used to think that rocks….well actually I never thought about rocks at all. Not until this past trip to San Diego. We drove through hundreds of miles of countryside littered with rocks….big, little, gargantuan, red, white, black, brown, crumbling, tumbly, and stuck in place. I had no idea that rocks came in so many…

We left on Friday for our next house sit in La Mesa, California…right outside of San Diego. On our drive to Arches National Park in Moab, Arizona we passed though some absolutley breathtaking scenery…our favorite being Glenwood Canyon….but Aspen and Beaver Creek and Copper and all those areas had a beauty all their own. There…

We have had several friends bring our attention to the news about some recent bombings in the southern part of Thailand which will be one of our first stops next month. We are very appreciative of their concern for our safety. We have not made and will not make any changes to our plans as…
