Lots to say today, but not many photos. I flew from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (KL). It’s a short flight, less than an hour, but it took most of the day. In 2030 this will change when new high-speed rail service will whisk travelers between the two cities in 45 minutes. It’s a distance of […]
Thanks to my doctor, physical therapist, and a lot of work on my part, I was able to survive yesterday. I walked more in a single day (including stairs) than I used to be able to walk in a month. Mind you, much of it, especially the stairs, was at a snail’s pace, but even […]
The weather forecast for today promised high humidity and thunder showers. It was right on both counts. After ten minutes outside, my curls rivaled Little Orphan Annie’s. The thunder shower, supposed to start at noon, held off until nearly six. I was grateful for that, but not entirely (I’ll explain later). After breakfast I took […]
The last time I was in Singapore, Clinton was president. I came here several times on business. To say that a lot has changed since then is an extreme understatement. In fact, it is because of all the changes that I wanted to return here. The truth is, I didn’t much like the old Singapore. […]
The plan today was to go to a park, using the metrocable to get there. However the parks were not open. Instead, we decided to go downtown. I wanted to revisit the Boteros. For those of you unfamiliar with Fernando Botero, he was a Colombian artist, very famous for his sculpture and his paintings. He […]
I ventured out of Medellin today. My destination was Guatape, a small town a couple of hours from Medellin. My friend Jim suggested that I hire a driver that he has used frequently, Nick. What a great idea. Nick is Colombian, fluent in English and a lovely guy. Because i’m still having computer problems.I’ll just […]
Phil met me this morning and we headed off to do two of my favorite things. First, we went to a market, one of the largest in the city, Plaza Minorista. Though it was a Sunday morning, the place was packed. It’s a huge market that sells just about everything. We stuck with the food […]
The big news in Medellin this weekend is that Bad Bunny is performing here. It’s the reason I had difficulty getting a hotel room and why flights were all oversold. Bad Bunny Mania is evident everywhere, from the huge banner in airport immigration, to the t-shirts, and mostly his followers. They’re easy to spot. He […]
One final post today because I have to share some amazing photos. We took off from Miami just as the sun began to set. For the next half hour we were treated to a spectacular light show. Enjoy! Source Originally Published on https://karengershowitz.com/
I’m connecting planes in Miami on my way to Medellin. I could have flown direct on Avianca, but the flights last year were so terrible, I vowed never to fly on them again. Besides, I have both lots of miles and Platinum status on American. In any event, it was nice to see green on […]
