I travel the world teaching and talking.
Photographing and writing,
Sharing experiences
What a way to go.
It’s been a funny trip.
Its been a funny trip, I heard someone ask the staff at the desk today, “What time is the 1:00 o'clock tour?" The staff politely said 1:00 o’clock madam!!!! Yesterday I heard someone in the lift say that they had a porthole cabin because they always need to see the port and someone asked…
Trolls, and passports.
Once again I lost 2 hours of blog writing and posting. Grrrr. OK, I guess it’s good practice but the internet is intermittent as you can imagine and it costs an arm and a leg so sadly I’m now lame and one handed. This tour has been amazing, unlike other cruises we have been close…
Hi Ho, Hi ho, its off to work we go.
Its almost 6.00 am and I've been up for an hour or so… if I see light outside the window, its time to get out of bed. I've begun this blog three times today. It's not jet-lag, just business. Somehow the gremlins got in and deleted them. I was racing back and forth to the room…
The trials of travels – or is it just that I’m fussy.

A day of inspiration in Singapore.
Pick up your camera and see. I was wondering if I was going to be able to get out and photograph, because the day began with a huge thunderstorm. Then again I had time to relax and catch up on computer business. I caught the local bus from my hotel to Chinatown. It took about…
Inspiration from Singapore.
I’ve just had a day here in Singapore and its been a wonderful relaxing experience.I’ve added the photos to this blog format because I think I get a better image result.
Travel is a state of mind.
I’m writing this in the confines of my plane seat. What to do to pass the time? I drew the first Mexican tile for my travel quilt. I can't put it on fabric until I get on the ship… I don't want to open the work case.!!!! The movies were fine, but the images…
What does a quilter pack to continue her creative exercises as she travels?
Travel brings out the best or the worst in people. I've seen both, but I admit to loving travel and I take the good with the bad. However, it's mostly good. There's something about packing your bags and being satisfied that you've done it well, then there are those first few minutes as the plane…
