Not All Who Wander Are Lost!
Barcelona – Day 1 June 19, 2019 – We arrived at Barcelona after two nights of red eye flights…exhausted but excited to be here. We took a taxi to our apartment in the Gràcia neighborhood of Barcelona. In our travels we like to get out of the touristy areas and live among the locals. Gràcia…
June 17 & 18, 2019 – The Monday night redeye was uneventful other than marginal sleep on the plane. We hit the ground in Toronto about 7 am and grabbed a train into the city center. It’s really a beautiful city. We first went up to the top of the iconic CN Tower which was…
We slept well on our first night at Shangrila. Rikzin and Kushiman greeted us when we came out of our room and quickly delivered our coffee and breakfast. It was cloudy and misty so we did not have great views of Fishtail. I had oatmeal and Wayne had an omelette and we split some Tibetan…
The next morning the sky was crystal clear so Wayne went down to Lake Phewa while it was still dark to watch the sunrise. He brought his drone so he could practice flying it. I stayed at the hotel and went out to the balcony with my coffee to watch the sunrise over the Annapurna…

10-27-2017 – We arrived in Kathmandu late in the evening on Friday and picked up the necessary documents we needed to fill out, then got in line to apply for our visa. The line was moving very slowly but we finally made it to the front of the line. The visa man at the desk…
10-26-2107 – This morning we woke up early to go check out a bit of the downtown area before our flight to Kathmandu. We ate breakfast at the hotel (Wayne was happy there were olives in the buffet line) and then called for an uber. So far, while in Dubai, everyone had been so nice….
October 26, 2017 – The flight to Dubai was uneventful. Emirates Airlines is pretty awesome. They kept us fed and were very nice to move us when I noticed that my seat was missing the recline button. We moved to bulk head seats and were able to stretch out and stand to walk around a…
