At Gate #10 Bucharest Airport

Budapest Sweet Budapest

Budapest Sweet Budapest

I’m having to repack again, yes you heard it right. I have to dump yet another bag because the coordinator doesn’t want the driver to haul it 250 kilometers. We have to go to the next hotel I’ll stay at here and see if I can check it into their...

I’ll Miss My Romania…

I’ve had a very stressful last few days with the flights up in the air. You have no idea the pressure that was put on the Administrator of the House of Angels to take care of me and the children at the same time. Since he has the reliable vehicle, he wants to...

We Had Lift Off!!!

I was able to get on the flight. I was one kilo under-weight and I didn’t have to gate check my “hand luggage.” You cannot imagine how much I’ve fretted over the bags. The plane had a minor difficulty…they couldn’t get the door...

That’s the Texan pronunciation! You don’t know what other names it has been called here. I will let you all know that I’m still at the House of Angels, I will miss going to Bulgaria completely and Hungary is still up in the air with a ticket booked...

Volcanic Ash Day 4, Trying Again

I’m going to try again to make a flight to Sofia this morning. Although I’ll just be there one day, they say I must try because I’ll not be able to reroute the ticket if my flight does actually leave tomorrow and I’m not on it. I’d have...

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Bathroom…

Ok, everyone who knows me understands I’m like a bull in a china shop.  Usually I’m falling though in Romania.  This time I’ve outdone myself. This happened on my first night at House of Angels. I went to the bathroom, normal procedure, although it...

Time Draws to a Close in Romania

As always my time here is too short. Anyone that knows me well knows I love this country and could easily live here. I like the life here, the simple life. I don’t care about the hardships, the frustrations….I still could live here. I can listen to the...
