We are in Hue - more towards Central Vietnam - today. We arrived this morninig - after a train ride that deserves an entire entry itself! Let's just say it was interesting - and the accomodations were basic (well, they were less than basic, but...

Cyclos and Trains...

2008-07-16T01:08:47Z

Well, yesterday we had an absolutely wonderful time in Ha-long Bay. The best word to describe it would be serene. The drive took about 4 hours - on the way up, we stopped at a collective that was a crafts workshop to support victims of Agent Or...

Having a great time in Han Noi!

Well, I've made it to Viet Nam safely - and so far everything is wonderful! I only have 10 minutes to write before I head out to breakfast and then it's off to Halong Bay for the day. We'll be swimming and hanging out on a boat - it should be a...

Luggage Update

2008-07-09T15:05:57Z

41.4 pounds - I guess my running shoes are kind of heavy. I leave for the airport to fly to DC (okay, Baltimore) in 25 minutes. I think I'm getting a little bit nervous...

And the countdown expires...

2008-07-09T13:09:25Z

Well, this is it. Today I leave to meet up with SF in DC and tomorrow morning, we head off to the airport for our trip around the world. Everyone has been asking me if I'm excited or nervous. The truth is, I'm not exactly sure. I'm mostly inte...

Leaving in a jet plane...almost

2008-07-06T22:03:09Z

Which small businesses are hurt most by rising gas prices? What can they do to save money? Sponsored by HP. I have absolutely no idea how to answer this question. I only just clicked on the Question of the Week to start blogging again. Heck, ...

Using my "vacation" wisely...

2008-01-16T02:55:15Z

So there's only one week left of vacation - and one more week until I have to start waking up early. I must admit that I do like these breaks from reality, but even I am ready to get started. I've been working more than I was at this time last ...

Full swing into the new year...

2008-01-07T15:49:10Z

As you can see, I really am doing my best to write more, even if it is stuff that's not particularly useful for me (but hey, it gets those juices flowing!). When I was living through this weekend, I thought I was being rather unproductive, but n...

Why I love my job...

2008-01-04T17:58:18Z

Last semester, I wrote a letter of recommendation for a terrific student. While she may not have had the highest grade in my class (although, it's pretty hard to get high grades in my classes to begin with), she was certainly one of the brightes...
