A Walk For A Cure
Only You can motivate Yourself, but Others can inspire You! Well, I have been inspired to do something good this year – for myself and the community: I will participate in the 2010 Avon Walk For Breast Cancer in San Francisco, CA on the July 10+11 weekend! To get myself in better shape (walking 39 miles in 2 days needs some preparation) and to raise funds to fight cancer ($1,800 minimum goal)! More to follow in upcoming posts … but … Read More
Suite and the City
A night on the town gets a really nice touch when your stay is as memorable one as this one! Planning to spend an evening in the city, dinner with Adam (Kirk’s brother), followed by a trip to the California Academy of Sciences the next day, Kirk and I picked the San Francisco Marquis Marriott to be the hotel of our choice. Associate rate comes in handy at a hotel like this. And when you “know someone”, your $79 room … Read More
Schifoan! The Photo Gallery
Here you have some of the weekend’s snapshots … Enjoy!
Schifoan!
Am Freitag auf’d Nacht, montier i die Schi … auf mei Auto, und dann begib i mi … nach Heavenly, am Lake Tahoe … lalalalala! (For all you non-Austrians: this is a great Austrian song about going skiing over the weekend (in Austria, not Lake Tahoe of course), and my motto (and melody stuck in my head) whenever I’m heading out east towards the Sierra! Right, it is THAT season again! The one where some people freak out, check their car’s all wheel … Read More
Giving your skis the boot …
If the shoe doesn’t fit, it doesn’t fit. And no matter how good of a deal it was, or how nicely the colors of the boots match the ones of the skis – it’s not going to be fun on the run. What run? What boot? Well, let’s just say we were completely outfitted & ready for our very first skiing weekend together – at Heavenly at Lake Tahoe – when Kirk realized that the ski boot that had fit perfectly at the shop did … Read More
Memories … Ein Rückblick.
Unglaublich, aber wahr! Wir sind schon seit 3 Wochen wieder zu Hause im winterlichen (= regnerischen) Kalifornien und vom Alltag fast komplett verschluckt! Aber so ein großartiger Urlaub kann nicht ohne Resüme als abgeschlossen gelten! Daher kommt jetzt & hier mein Schlußkommentar … Und weil die meisten Leser in den USA sitzen: auf Englisch. As Kirk and I were planning the details of our Australia trip (which really were not as many details as you’d think if you know me and have travelled … Read More
Australia 2009 Photo Gallery: Day 16
Today is not over… It’s a long one. We traveled back in time and arrived in SFO before we left SYD. So today will be 19 hours longer than a normal day for us. But one thing is for sure. We’re home and we’re done with our trip. When we saw the rain during our decent, we knew our summer was over. With that being the case, this is our last batch of pictures. See them after the break.
Summer is Over.
We just landed at SFO. Waiting for bags and heading home.
Track our Flight Back to San Francisco
Do you have nothing better to do but track our flight back home? I knew it. Great! Just go to either of these links. We’re on Qantas Flight 73. http://flightwise.com/track/QFA73 http://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA73 http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightTracker/flightTracker.do?id=178288817 Or for the fancy Google Earth 3D way, download this KML courtesy of flightwise.com. (geR1716783.kml) Hopefully that works. See you soon.
Last Day …
Can it really be that today, Day 16 of our trip, is already our last day? The one when we are leaving Sydney, and Australia? I guess it is so. After city sightseeing, mountain hiking, Outback driving, coast exploring, animal feeding, reef snorkeling and shark diving, rain forest sky-railing and finally gift shopping, we have seen & done it all. At least all that we had planned for. So today, we have 3 more things on the list: eat breakfast, … Read More
