Plans have a funny way of changing from day to day. Went to the travel agent and planned out my trip. Basically: Bahrain to Athens...then to Bucharest, then Montreal and then back to Bahrain. Only one problem...that's 3 seperate tickets - no round trips because they're all seperate. It was so expensive the guy didn't even want to tell me how much ( Read more... )

I got a dilemna. I just got off the phone with my folks and had another episode of..."No mom...no mom...quit it mom!"...ahhh good 'ol mom. And it got me thinking,...do I really wanna spend an entire month and a half back home? Probably not. Toronto will only take up a week of my time so what am I gonna do with the rest? I have to be back to be an ( Read more... )

Talk about a hangover...a severe hangover. I really didn't want to be here today. I could barely even keep my head up at my desk at points. What was cool is that I really missed my kids...quite a bit. It was cool to see them again and I think a couple of them actually grew ( Read more... )

and why am I leaving this place again?? Had a really really good day. Perfect spring weather. Saw this incredible underground water basin supported by 336 columns built in 537AD. Then off to my favorite street (after Newman/Coolbrook...of course) Istiliak Cad for some shoopiing. Picked up some Turkish Cd's. Local pop, folk, and rock stuff. Then I ( Read more... )

Not too sure but I think Im gonna go home early. Ive seen most of the sites and to be honest...one week in one city really is a lot. I remember being in Paris for 5 days and thinking...oh get me the hell outta here...too much. Plus I have a bunch of things I have to do at home and I really can't think of anything to do that would take up a whole 3 ( Read more... )
