Nepal Visit - DEC 2024

I have one full day in Kathmandu before my flight home tomorrow (Tuesday, December 17) morning. Ruju and I parted ways yesterday when I flew to Kathmandu, and he returned to his family in Chitwan.

I've been here enough times that I'm comfortable navigating this country and Kathmadu on my own. My typical routine includes visiting a couple of my favorite places to eat and staying at a decent but [...]

Liberia Visit - November 2024

The itinerary had us routing through Brussels with a three-hour layover...plenty of time to get from our arrival gate to the departure gate with time to spare. Unfortunately, as we were taxied out to the runway for take-off in Chicago, the pilot announced that there was a medical emergency on the [...]
