Visiting Bagan, Myanmar

July 15, 2019 by Dave21 Comments

Bagan is the land of ancient temples - these stone spires dot the dusty landscape of what is called the Bagan Plains. We are visiting in the middle of winter, yet the temperatures are very warm during the day and pleasant at night; apparently rain has not fallen here for weeks. Coming from Inle Lake, some 6 hours away by bus we were startled by the dramatic difference in landscape. Inle Lake has plenty of water - in fact villages are built above … [Read more...]

Tahiti, Exploring this Gem in the Middle of the Southern Pacific Ocean

June 15, 2019 by Dave9 Comments

I've wanted to visit Tahiti for years but the high cost of airfare has been a barrier to visiting the country. But with recent flights from the west coast of the USA launching earlier this year and prices much more affordable then in the years past, my decision to visit Tahiti became more realistic. The capital city of Papeete is by far the largest city in the country - and yes there is even traffic downtown. But as far as cities go, this is … [Read more...]

Guinness Storehouse Dublin – June 2019

June 1, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

Guinness Storehouse is a large complex of buildings located at St James's Gate in Dublin Ireland. Guinness has truly developed a cult-like following over the years - since it's founding in 1759. A visit here will immediately clarify this - even during a recent visit on a weekday somewhat off season the storehouse was super crowded with visitors. A visit here is like a walk back in time to another era of old austere looking brick factory … [Read more...]

Turning Left Around the World by David C Moore

June 1, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

Written first hand by David Moore, one half of the traveling duo David & Helene, this is an engaging tale by two travelers who decided to take a 10 month round the world trip later in life. When moving in to a new house, rather then deciding to throw themselves into the obligatory home improvement projects that invariably accompany one with moves such as this, Helene created her own project. She hung a map of the world on the wall and instructed … [Read more...]

Exploring Shanghai

June 1, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

Shanghai is among the world's largest cities by population. Two airports serve this major metropolis: Hongqiao International Airport (more domestic flights) and Pudong International. The metro connects both airports to the center of town and outlying suburbs. The fastest train in the world, the Maglev connects Pudong Airport to the metro system. Air pollution is certainly a problem here - during the Shanghai Expo in 2010 factories were shut down … [Read more...]
