Thursday, April 30th, 2009 | Travel |
What do you do when you don't know the language or customs? That's when your EQ, or Emotional Intelligence, comes in handy. On my recent tour to Russia, the people in large cities (Moscow, Saint Petersburg) knew English, but not in the small villages (Yaroslavl, Uglich). I thought I'd pick up Russian quickly, but I didn't for several reasons: 1.Jet Lag turns your thinking brain (neocortex) to mush 2.You can't 'picture' the words because the Russian alphabet is Cyrillic; i.e., Catherine the ...› Continue reading
New York Without Luggage, Reservations or Fresh Socks
Thursday, April 30th, 2009 | Travel |
/p> New York is an impossible place - an overbuilt island with a nasty climate, horrendous traffic and . . .magic. What's not to love? Our day trip to Manhattan was typical John and Laura - last minute. It was post Christmas and very cold after a snowstorm.

ANY BREAK IS A GOOD BREAK
Thursday, April 30th, 2009 | Travel |
There is something about that extra day tacked onto a weekend, be it a Monday or a Friday, which turns a getaway into a mini vacation. Of course three day weekends are a state of mind. One "three day weekend" trip my boyfriend John and I took to Vegas started on Memorial Day Monday and ended on a Wednesday. We tend to take breaks just before or just after big holidays - you get better rates, better service and a lot fewer crowds. That trip we skipped our usual easy bargain booking for midweek ...› Continue reading

TrekShare.com - Crashing a wedding in Laos - Part 1
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 | Travel |
Any reasonable person would think it slightly off-color to crash a wedding. When that wedding happens to be in Laos who is to say if it's inappropriate or not? Whom am I kidding?

Safety at High Attitude The Rockies Mountains rest from 5,000 to 14,000 feet above sea level which equates to less oxygen.
