2014 I was sitting in the breakfast room at Randy‘s place in Banaue in the Philippines. Kathleen from Fredericton was on vacation with her daughter Alexondra. Crazy Canadian woman that has not too much time to travel so she is always in a hurry. They rented a driver to go to Batad (check the pictures…
December 17th, 2017 Took the bus to the tram, the tram to the train station. Took the InterCityExpress train to FRA. Wheeled my bag to hall B in Terminal 1 and got in line at the Kuwait Airways Check-In counter. About 20 minutes later my day was much better. Exchanged my big bag for a…
Day three of my short trip to the US. You find day one here and day two here. Today I had a nice circle in mind: from Mukwonago to Libertyville where I had the next hotel. With stops in Geneva and Lake Como as well. Let’s go cruise! Rodeway Inn Mukwonago Woke up very early…
Day two of my short trip to the US. You find day one here. If you are in another time zone for only a few days you better keep your home time zone – if you can. So I went to bed early and got up early as well. Today I had a big circle…
That was quite a busy end of the year for me. Every time I go on a longer trip all sorts of stuff happens a few days before i head out. This year I had friends from Australia visiting, my get away party, a 5 day trip to Chicago and a lot of little things…
The time was too short again. But this time i did see a lot more of Banaue and i was the first time in Batad. Since my mother was not doing well and in the hospital i had to cut my trip 5 weeks short and fly home. So i did email Air China at…
4 Months of Winter Vacation A bit earlier than last year I am back in Bangkok. Did fly with Air China from Frankfurt to Beijing in their 777-300. A nice plane as it is not so loud than the old ones. There where no emergency exits to get at check-in. But on the plane there…
These are the Fat Tires i was talking about – that is what you ride over here – if you ride in style that is! I do not know who he is but he is famous over here! The Venice Fishing Pier in Venice Beach. Not sure if it was here but i think it…
Last year i had to fly to Chicago so Danny and Dr. Steiner had to hike without me. You find pictures from our 1st trip to the Alps in Austria and Germany here: Alps-Pictures. You have to scroll down a bit on the page or skip to the next page…This year we went to Lechtal…
Have my flight in the afternoon. Maria will bring me to the Blue Line – that saves me a long ride on the train down town. As i did book the flight less than 12 hours before take off i now have to stop one time in New York – to bad. The last few…
If you ask me – I pick the Cloud Gate over everything else. Every day and time of day the Chicago Bean is different. I like it. So I went downtown to the AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park today for a quick visit. Wish I had more time. Did visit a few buildings I like…
Well – what is a good way to start into a new year – an tropical island – why not? So i went to Perhentian Kecil to do it different this year. No party and nobody knows – an easy day off. Did stay at Coral Beach for one night (do not recommend that beach…
