Oahu, Hawaii USA - April 2008 - Not exactly the greatest start on this trip. One hour delays on both of my flights in getting to Honolulu from Seattle. Then once here I didn't get the full oceanview room I had reserved and had to settle for one with a partial ocean view. It was a pretty nice view anyway. But when I was originally choosing a hotel for my Hawaii trip there were certain things I wanted, an ocean view, close to the beach, a lanai, etc. I think many of these hotels undersell themselves in their online information. Undoubtedly too many lawyers with liability paranoia. Yet now that I have actually been here, probably most of the Waikiki hotels would have been a good match and if I had it to do over again, I suspect that I would have chosen a different hotel than ResortQuest Waikiki Beach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/55516738-c1d5-416d-a3ea-e7ad7e09d69d/hawaii006.gif Travel Blog - Oahu, Hawaii USA - April 2008 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/1a55afc7-fc8b-4098-88c3-7d597b3ec9e8/hawaii002.jpg Travel Blog - Oahu, Hawaii USA - April 2008 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.deannagifford.com/travelblog/thailand2007 monthly 0.5 2024-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/6e3cfb03-749c-4a7b-b7f4-e012305e5f09/phuket.jpg Travel Blog - Phuket, Thailand - November 2007 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/48361a5d-2a76-46c1-8633-c7c84a9ba8b6/thailand001.gif Travel Blog - Phuket, Thailand - November 2007 - According to my local guide in Phuket, elephants are considered lucky in Thailand. So Kinnaree Elephant Trekking was probably an auspicious place to start my visit to the island of Phuket. Yet looking back on it now, I have to say that riding on one of those benches atop an elephant is definitely one of those things that is harder than it looks from a distance. The elephant handler makes it all look so effortless sitting there on the front of the elephant fabricating origami animals out the plantation leaves through out the ride (He presented me with a bird and a grasshopper that dangled from long stems). Or maybe it is just sitting on the bench thats harder, but when the trails go downhill you do have to put a bit of effort into maintaining your balance lest you slip forward off of the bench, as well as the elephant, and onto the muddy path below which would doubtless not be a pleasant experience. However, I made it through the hour ride with my dignity intact not having fallen off, with the feeling of having just completed an incredible abdominal workout afterwards, and the scenery from the viewpoint that the hour ride goes to is worth the trip. With the longer full or half day tour packages they also included rubber tree tapping and thai cooking demonstrations, as well as trained monkey and cobra shows (I heard some crazy guy kisses a king cobra). But monkeys and snakes are not really my thing, so I took a pass on that this trip. Maybe next time. Kinnaree Elephant Trekking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/c9e88212-d22a-4553-9f3c-bff04a37b510/thailand002.gif Travel Blog - Phuket, Thailand - November 2007 - In addition to enjoying the beaches, general sightseeing, living on thai food, and shopping all the malls, markets, and tourist stands I could find (shopping, shopping, and more shopping), I took in a couple of shows while I was in Phuket. The first was the "World Famous" Simon Cabaret. I suppose I might be a bit out of touch, but I didn't realize until afterwards when I was talking to someone about it that this was actually a "drag show". So I guess I can say that I did get to see the infamous ladyboys of Thailand and they were good enough to fool me! But it was a very entertaining show even if I didn't understand while I was there. The other show I went to was as much a small thai cultural theme park as it was a show, Phuket Fanta-Sea. It is a several acre carnival with enough neon outside to rival an average Las Vegas casino with a theatrical production show to match. The package included a grand-buffet dinner in this huge restaurant in addition to the clever show which included just about everything imaginable from magic to arial acrobatics over the audience (quite an extravaganza). Before the show I even got to have my picture taken with a baby tiger as a souvenir! https://www.deannagifford.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/1722378224.811725-RDAGORRYRXAUWFQRKLWC/imgg-od3-6x5y51d5.png https://www.deannagifford.com/about daily 0.75 2024-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/01cd9e59-40fc-4f97-aaa4-eeb57e8dbb7a/phuket010.jpg https://www.deannagifford.com/home daily 1.0 2024-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/b6d4fe6c-f63e-408f-adce-a20d465e6460/CapeTownSA2008.JPG https://www.deannagifford.com/photos daily 0.75 2025-05-01 https://www.deannagifford.com/photos/slovakia-austria-hungary-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/758364d4-1d2a-45ae-a7ff-36c880f08a1c/1slovakia01.JPG Photos - Slovakia, Austria & Hungary 2024 Our bus driver stopped to pass out the sparkling wine when we crossed over the border to Slovakia (his home country) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/6e310125-2281-4b7f-a381-0c530ca0d8f9/1slovakia02.JPG Photos - Slovakia, Austria & Hungary 2024 National Council of the Slovak Republic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6704b6e14b9e6d274937b2fd/af4febd1-21e2-4b44-bb04-a9863acd97a7/1slovakia03.JPG Photos - Slovakia, Austria & Hungary 2024 The castle in Bratislava, Slovakia.
