Saas-Fee Saas Fee was not a place I knew about in detail before coming here. In fact in terms of names, outside the big cities of Switzerland, I am quite familiar with Interlaken, Grindelwald, Zermatt,

Wengen! Day 4 After all that walking and taking gondola after gondola ride, I arrived Wengen fairly late with fading daylight. All I could do is to check-in, take a shower, write about the day and fall

The Bridge Everyone who comes to San Francisco wants to see the Golden Gate Bridge. It defines the city. It defines America, it defines California and the west. Even with all the overcrowding and selfie-stick

Morning Walk One of the advantages of coming west is that you get up early in the morning. San Francisco is 2 hours behind Houston, so getting up at 6 am was easy! I had a short meeting late morning, so

Arrival It was supposed to be an easy trip. However, my travel luck got to run out somewhere/sometime eventually, after all there is a thing called a law of average! I am typically a lucky traveler. For

Vacation Days In Houston, summer vacation time are almost starting to finish. In fact, today I will visit both of my daughter's schools (for the first time they will be in different schools) for start
