When the cab driver picked us up this morning, he said something like, “‘Lo, gentleman,” then quickly corrected himself saying, “I guess I should have said, ‘Good morning, gentleman.’” He said it distinctly pronouncing all of the words. It didn’t dawn on me until after he said something else about correcting himself that I had … Read more
Today started with a sausage and swiss omelet and coffee at the poolside bar and restaurant. Joe had granola cereal and the fruit plate. While at breakfast, we met a couple, Jeff and Dave, who had just arrived today, and who were staying until Saturday I believe, when they would depart for an RSVP cruise. … Read more
We were up at about 9:30 this morning, and we had breakfast in the usual place—this time each having a bagel (his plain, my cinnamon and raisin), and once again splitting a fruit platter. We went for a walk to a coffee shop up on Eaton off Duval that was supposed to offer free wireless … Read more
We got up at around 10:30 today, and had breakfast downstairs in the pool-restaurant-bar area. I had a three-cheese omelet, Joe had a bagel, and we split their fruit platter, which contains: strawberries, melon, cantaloupe, blueberries, bananas, pineapple, and oranges. I spent an hour or so up near the deck creating Friday’s blog entry. I … Read more
I’ve had two articles published in the January edition of Technically Speaking… One of the articles is entitled: “The Goal of it All: Graduation” (on page 1) and the other is, “Redefinition: Who is the Technical Communicator?” (on page 3). Today’s affirmations come from Andrew Armstrong’s article in said publication… That article is at the … Read more
Joe and I left for Charlotte at a little before noon, and we had a tedious drive there. It was rainy, foggy, and the visibility was very, very poor. We saw at least three cars, if not more, veered off in ditches, presumably due to hydroplaning, as they were all single-car accidents. One car was totally flipped over and … Read more
I was up at about 8:30 this morning, and I finished wrapping the last of my gifts to take on the road today. Irene checked in at a little after noon to announce that the plans have changed today, if I was at all able to accommodate them. Instead of going to Jacksonville when they … Read more
I uploaded the final few pictures that were still in my camera from my trip. The address of the Sydney Westin, at which we stayed, was 1 Martin Place. Here’s a few pictures of me in the square about the hotel, and a picture of Robert that I love, love, love. And here I am … Read more
I was online for about a half-hour this morning, while Robert used the hotel spa facilities. At 10:00, we walked down to the Museum of Sydney Cafe, where we had breakfast last Sunday, and we did a repeat performance. We both had their Wood Mushroom Omelet with Rocket & Tomato. We left the downtown Westin … Read more
We had breakfast at about 8:15 this morning, and then packed to have our bags outside the door by the 10AM deadline. Since we’re arriving in Sydney at 10:15PM tonight, instead of our originally scheduled 8:45 due to a Qantas schedule change, we’re going to try and store our big bags at the airport overnight … Read more
