After our failed attempt to fly to Oacaca due to a delayed flight, we returned to the airport Sunday. This time around everything went smoothly.

We arrived at the airport in Tampa and got through security no problem. Then, while…

Traveling to Delhi
Nicole and I woke up early Tuesday morning eager to begin our adventure to India. We hailed a cab from in front of our hotel. I’ve never been offered a price different than the meter in Korea, and aside from occasionally being confused, I’ve found Korean cab drivers to be very honest and helpful. This cab…

One Last Train Ride [photogrid ids=”2922,2925″ captions=”yes” columns=”three” fullwidth=”yes” ] Nicole and I woke early, cleaned our room, and took a train back to the Osaka airport.
