Yup, Leave Sunday, pretty much lose Monday due to 16 hour time zone change and now I’m in Tokyo and it’s Tuesday (end of the day). I’ve worked out my jetlag stuff pretty well – funny thing is that with it being 16 hours difference you go backwards in the jetlag time adjustment period. Yesterday my watch said -16 hours, this morning it was -7 and now it’s -5.5 vs local time. So even though […]
Yup, made the transition from Singapore to Bangalore India today – about a 4.5 hour flight and generally wasn’t bad. Found myself in 51A with ‘no status’ – window seat which was nice. Nice guy next to me falling asleep on my shoulder was also ‘nice’. We arranged for the hotel to pick us up at the airport and were treated in 5-star style. Everyone so far is incredibly nice and very helpful. Ashley booked […]
Alright, I have to admit that when we go as a family we try to get off the beaten path and largely stay away from the tourist centered focus places, but in Singapore it’s been about every place that I’ve been – super fun but also a little overwhelming. Ashley and I have been to little India, Chinatown, boat tour, skyscraper, casino/hotel resort (built on man made island), etc. etc. etc. It’s all very interesting […]
Well yes I’m in Singapore (via San Francisco) for work and literally going around the world in 9 days. We are here for a couple of meetings Sun-Tues and I definitely need 2 days to get acclimated and the start of time zone adjustment period started. it’s 14 hours vs home so anything to improve is good. The trip door to door was almost exactly 24 hours, strange to leave Wednesday a.m. and arrive Thursday […]
The Rob Roy trail offers an accessible hiking experience, highlighted by well-marked paths and varying weather conditions. Essential gear includes sturdy footwear and layered clothing for humidity. Preparing for first aid and ensuring dinner reservations are important. Booking accommodations well in advance is recommended to enjoy the adventure fully.
The trek has officially covered 70 miles, with one day left for about ten miles. Today was enjoyable, despite challenging steps at the end. Encounters with wildlife were limited, and weather conditions improved. After shopping for underwear, a satisfying dinner was enjoyed. The trip has so far avoided significant rain.
Well the hike today turned into a little more than we were thinking – we took a detour to see Rob Roy’s grave (see pics) – who was a notorious outlaw in this region, so fitting for us to go visit, especially wince we are hiking the “Rob Roy Trail”. Today started with a little misty/rain – and that was fine but then add a little wind and it was pretty cold. Of course you […]
Dear gentle reader… you’ll be excited to learn that our two traveling souls woke up in Aberfoyle to a brisk morning, prepared to encounter rain, but that never happened and the sun came out and it was a great day indeed! (ha if you get the reference…) So the hiking today is mostly on logging roads – and a lot of the forest has been harvested – so you’re walking through a bunch of torn […]
