Around the world in 80 days…..Ok 18 days :-)


As much as I’d love to follow Jules Verne’s around the world in 80 days, I haven’t found my golden ticket nor the money tree that keeps on giving so 18 days would have to do.
This is the first time I was able to travel flying in one direction, covering the earth’s full circumference. I started in Charleston heading east stopping in Frankfurt, Dubai, India,and China (Macau, Hong Kong) and finally back to the same point where I started.

I realized it is kind of hard to maintain a travel blog if you are not traveling (duhh) so I’m quite excited to have some “material” to play with. I’ll try to make the most of my time while the muses are still alive. It is only a matter of time until the daily grind will put them back to sleep :-(

These are just a few pics from my around the world trip in 18 days..
