The High Line
Our last day in New York was a short day, with time for a little sight seeing in the morning, a late check-out, lunch, and then off to the airport. The High Line was only about a dozen blocks from … Continue reading
NYC
I was fortunate enough to have a meeting in New York City and decided to stay on for a few extra days to enjoy the city. But first we had to get there, and the best flights took us through … Continue reading

Feynan Lodge
Our next stop was Feynan lodge – a very interesting eco-lodge in southern Jordan. After a brief detour through Karak to pick up wine for the evening, we arrived at the lodge just in time for sunset. The hills around … Continue reading
Jericho
We thought we had all day for our return trip to Jordan, but we discovered the border closes at 1:00 PM on Saturday. We moved up our departure to leave enough time to visit Jericho. For many of us, the … Continue reading
