We spent a couple of weeks in Portland, visiting with Grammy, walking her dog, running errands, meeting with caretakers, and trying to squeeze in some other typical Portland fun, too. Grammy is doing great right now and feeling much better knowing we’ll be back within range for a while. Racking … Read More
Goodbye to Bumfuzzle (Number 4)
After a couple weeks of vacation travel we returned to Langkawi and the boat. But not for long. We were there to drop her back in the water, take some pictures, pack up, and head out. You can see all the pics of the boat and the for sale page … Read More

Lunar New Year
Another day spent walking around Hanoi. It was Lunar New Year’s Eve and everyone was out getting their family pictures taken while wearing as much red as possible. We didn’t do a whole lot other than go to a water puppet show in the afternoon. We did our best to … Read More
Hanoi Walks
We spent a couple more days wandering around Hanoi with no real itinerary. It’s a great place to walk out your door and just keep choosing left, right, or straight. A friendly smile and a wave. If we received any reaction at all to a camera being pointed in someone’s … Read More
Around Hanoi
Hanoi is a very walkable city. I could wander out the door here every day, choose a different direction, and sit down to eat and rest just about anywhere along the way. But if you want to get somewhere quick… the mototaxi helmets are clearly not designed for a giant’s … Read More
Roaming Around Bangkok
A long day spent trying to see as much as we could in Bangkok. I’m going to have a portfolio of people in Bangkok doing risky things on ladders. I thought for a moment I might capture a death on camera. The Golden Buddha at Wat Traimit. Five point five … Read More
Night at the Raj
You have to love a beautiful home, full of expensive art, turned into a museum. Even more so when the owner, a silk magnate, was a one-time U.S. OSS operative who was on the outs with the CIA, and disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the Malaysian jungle with no body … Read More
Bangkok Temple Day
Our days were packed in Bangkok. There’s always another market, another temple, another interesting street, or more food to eat. The obligatory tuk-tuk shot. It appears that maybe we aren’t the only tourists in Bangkok at the moment. The Grand Palace. Lowe has been on a boat too long. He … Read More
Hauling to Bangkok
The boat came out of the water for a fresh coat of bottom paint and to have the hulls polished. Two rather mind-numbing labor-intensive jobs that I had zero desire to do myself. So the same day the boat came out of the water we climbed onto a little plane … Read More
