I am currently back in the states and back at work. I will post about the return journey later, but I promised myself I would complete this trip blog! We did so many things that I want to save the memories while they are still fresh! Wednesday, February 21, 2024 This day was going to…
Majestic
Tuesday, February 20, 2024 So many things to se,e and so many things to do. I remember thinking that we hadn’t even started, and I was already feeling a bit overwhelmed. I even forgot to bring my phone to breakfast, and the breakfast buffet in Hotel Phoenix is a sight to behold! I did remember…
Yogyakarta: A Trip Within a Trip
Monday, February 19, 2024 So even though I had only been in Jakarta a day, Kiana had planned for us to spend several days away. She is taking vacation days during my visit, so we need to go on vacation! Monday morning, we caught a 6:20 AM train for our trip to Yogyakarta. We left…
Sunday #1 in Jakarta
Once again, I am writing about a day that feels long ago even though it was just two days ago. When everything is new, the memory of things gets distorted. Thank goodness I have my pictures to remind me of the order of things and where I saw certain things. Perhaps I’m keeping this blog…
Travel Day
I apologize for being so behind. I was so tired on Saturday night into Sunday that I couldn’t work on blog Sunday (2/18) morning, and I literally was falling asleep at dinner after a full day Sunday (I even rode a tuk-tuk!). I started writing this on Monday, February 19 at 3:30 AM, hoping to…
Last Full Day in South Korea
Friday, February 16, 2024 I was tired, and it was my fault. On Thursday night, I came back to the apartment, read, took a shower, watched a show, and I started getting sleepy, but I was determined to get myself on Korea time, so I forced myself to stay awake. The problem was that I…
Mission One Accomplished
February 25, 2024 My time in Korea this time will not be like my other trips here. It is not going to be really travel-blog-like either because I’m not really here to sightsee but to see firends. There won’t be lots of pictures of different places like I have from my other trips to South…
Two Days in One
Yesterday was a long day. No really; it was a long day because it was one day to me but really two days since it’s still Wednesday in Boston and it’s Thursday in Seoul when I’m writing this. Maybe, I should begin each entry with what date I’m writing about, for this trip is taking…
Leaving Early to Leave Late
Once again I am planning to write a blog for a trip for my mom. Once again, I’m thinking about how there have been trips that I did not write about here since the last blog post: a road trip to Montreal and a train trip to New York City. When I retire, I will…
Delays and Uncle Hector
It’s hard to believe that exactly a week ago today, I was waking up in the Royal York Hotel in Toronto and repacking my carryon to have it ready for the flight back to Boston. Hard to believe because the long week back to reality makes the trip seem more and more like a dream….
