In spite of a new aircraft, a gracious cabin crew and a tailwind, I arrived in Thailand in the early morning with almost no sleep. As I sat at the gate in domestic departures of Bangkok airport in a kind of jetlagged haze, I looked at the light of the morning sun as it shone […]

We drove up from Maine to Canada for a week’s vacation, which overlapped the July 4th holiday here in the States. The drive up was very pleasant with a half-way stop in Saint John, New Brunswick. We were based in Charlottetown, PEI, for the week and visited the dramatic north coast for our first excursion. […]
