Seattle….Unbelievable

As a frequent traveler to Las Vegas for work as well as pleasure, these time lapse photos taken by a friend, JP Wollersheim, that I work with really hit home for me.   In particular the sunrise theme…..  8^) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPXhCM_qSRs&rel=1] You can see other time lapse photos at: http://www.youtube.com/jpwoller   Technorati Tags: Las Vegas,time lapse photos

In order to get to New Orleans for JazzFest this past weekend, I had to fly Continental and fly through Houston airport.  On both trips I had the worst experience ever.     First, Continental has old planes with extremely cramped seats and extremely unhelpful counterpeople.  I have never been more uncomfortable flying and will never fly…

I came upon this blog while I was doing research into the Africa trip.  Does this sound amazing or what?   http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Rwanda/blog-3441.html

 One of the things that I love to do is partake in large parties around the world and celebrate with the locals (and fellow tourists…).  I have attended a few world famous ones in my life so far: Carnival in Rio, Mardi Gras, JazzFest, and Oktoberfest in Munchen but I still have a bunch more on my "future travel" wishlist….

I guess I am on the Air Asia email marketing list, because I just got an email from them telling me that I could get a roundtrip ticket from Bangkok, Thailand to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for $10 round-trip including taxes.   That is unbelievable.  http://www.airasia.com/site/en/promotion.jsp?id=94a3dc8a-ac1e00ae-645fd000-867a7f20   Europe offers the same types of fares through Easyjet and Ryanair….

I just saw this map on a friend’s website and thought it was pretty cool.    However, it just highlighted how little travel i have done in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean/Northern Africa.   They are next on my list…   8^) http://www.travbuddy.com/flash/countries_map.swf?id=863112
