I have realized after reading a few of my old entries that I sound a bit like a travel agent. Come to Hong Kong, it’s a great city! Come to Bali, the people here are amazing! Come to Iguazzu Falls, and see this wonder for yourself! In a way, this is how I feel… maybe [...]
Welcome to Cairo! I hope The Bangles gave you the hint you needed. That was much too easy. We will also be taking a side trip to Dubai from Egypt. Huh? No girl bands for that one, so just had to tell ya. Bookmark To:
Can this girl band from the 80s give you the crucial hint as to where we will go next? Post your guesses under the “comments” section of this website. See you there! Bookmark To:
Before WS and I left on this trip, we made a list of our “must sees”. On both of our lists was Petra. Petra was our main reason for coming to Jordan. Like most people, I first learned of Petra compliments of Indiana Jones. I heard a bit more about it when it was named [...]

As we bid farewell to India, we leave you with this hint as to where we are going next: This location made this guy more famous. Or did this guy make this location more famous? Post your guesses on the “comments” section of this website, and we will see you in….???? Bookmark To:
Rishikesh! The small town in Northern India made famous by The Beatles. Long ago The Beatles spent some time here at an ashram relaxing and left with most of the famous White Album written. That same ashram closed in 1997 and the yogi died last year but it seems to make the place seem all [...]
A Journey Into WD’s Wandering Mind: You never forget your first view of the Taj Mahal. One word : Chai. Drink it, drink lots of it. “Chai” means “tea”, so when I order a “Chai Tea” at Starbucks, what am I really ordering? I got used to dodging cows on the street and people staring [...]
