On the day of checkout, you can choose to relax, sleep in or like me, get up one last time for the 5am wakeup, ready for the 6am game drive. Safari is the ultimate example of FOMO (fear of missing out). My young friend laughed at me when i said […]
For many people, including me, daily life is chock full of routine activities, work and life which for the most part are on auto-pilot. For me, its wash, eat, work, gym, rinse, repeat and only on vacation (holiday) can I break out of this routine and enjoy the excitement of […]

I successfully booked an award air ticket last week to Australia but it was literally exhausting (just thinking about it is making me tired). I spent at least ten hours (or more) trying to figure out the various parts of the puzzle to put together the journey. If you are […]
This week’s FriFotos theme is “Electric” so it will be quite interesting to see the creativity of the posts from around the world. A mish mash of travel photos and stories that are “electric” to me, hope you enjoy my interpretations. The Electric Street Car – the 501 Trolley in […]
Growing up in Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore (Brigatine/Atlantic City to Cape May) holds many memories of family, fun and funnel cake. While my family never owned/rented a shore house, my uncle Bill lived there all year round so I would stay with him (he had a pool). As a child […]
