Hey Friends and Family! Unfortunately, it was another rainy day in Bali, so we opted for a mostly inside day. It felt great to sleep in, eat brunch, work on some posts, and relax at the resort. I’m working on the other temple and sightseeing posts, but here is a glimpse of some of the less Read Post >
Bali – Pura Besakih Temple Complex
Good Morning from Bali! Today, we spent a whole day exploring the island. Rainy season is no joke. It really rains every day and it rains for most of the day. I found a taxi service on TripAdvisor a few weeks ago and I confirmed the plans via email ($45 for the entire day including gas). Read Post >
Bali – Temples, Temples, and Coffee Beans “Processed” by Paradoxurus (Luwak)
Bali is very exotic and fun–emphasis on fun! It is truly Australia’s playground because it is super cheap and only 2.5 hours away by flight. When I say cheap… a 45 minute taxi from the airport to hotel cost us $6 (USD), a 90 minute massage at a 5-star hotel cost us $40, a 5-star Read Post >
Breakfast at The Stones Resort in Bali
Have I mentioned how much I absolutely love this resort? Included in most of its rates, the breakfast buffet at The Stones Resort is one of the best I have ever had. Complete with both Asian and Western entree selections, exotic fresh fruits, meats and cheeses, made to order eggs, an assortment of homemade granola and Read Post >
Bali, Indonesia First Day
After a full day of overseas flying, we finally landed in Jakarta at 4am (after being held on the runway in Tokyo for more than 4 hours). It took a lot out of us, so we canceled our Jakarta tour scheduled for that morning, got a little sleep, and headed back to the airport for Read Post >
Renaissance Charleston Historic District
This is my review for the Renaissance Charleston Historic District, 68 Wentworth Street, Charleston, SC: Overall Experience: Met Expectations, 3 STARS Value: The Historic District in Charleston is prime real estate. Due to its location, the Renaissance Charleston Hotel can charge rates that seem pretty unreasonable. Rates over $300/night for an average room had kept Read Post >

Rainy Day In Charleston
Good Afternoon from the Renaissance Charleston Historic District! Note: Review Post Coming Soon! Today, it is pouring down rain all day so I am forced to have a hotel working day!

Charlotte Airport And Brookwood Farms BBQ
Fortunately, I arrived back home in St. Pete last night from DC around 8PM–I used a same day change to get on the earlier flight. Yay! After relaxing a bit and doing some chores around the house, I went to bed at a decent time–setting the alarm for 6:30am–so that I could shower/get ready and Read Post >
Residence Inn Downtown Bethesda and the Cold
Good Morning Friends! I am writing this post from the “Friendly Skies” (along with 200 of my “friends” on this United flight). I am en route to Tampa/St Petersburg from Washington, DC. I packed up a bunch of work from the home office, then decided to take the early flight home back to sunny Florida. Read Post >
