Beginning today I’ll be moving my posts from my old travel blogs – for Taiwan and Tokyo here. It’s going to be a slightly long and arduous task since my Taiwan blog has 70 entries I want to edit and prune before placing here and the Tokyo blog luckily only has 7 entries. So if you notice anything funky, sorry. I hope that it’ll be good to consolidate all my posts.

Also, I’m working on another blog project, which you’ll hopefully be able to see in a few months. It’ll involve my other favorite topic – food. Then I’m going to work on consolidating www.joannie.net into a portal and then moving my blog that currently resides there to yet ANOTHER subdomain. I know, it’s harrowing to keep track of. We’ll see if I’ll be able to work some WordPress magic since I’ve been working with Blogger for about 10 years now and I’m moving onto greener pastures. For those of you who are WordPress experts, please be patient with me as I ask questions that may just seem awfully silly.

Thanks and I hope you’ll enjoy reading my material even more.

Check out the current radar map of Puerto Rico…

Doesn't the weather look lovely?

If you look to the west of the Island to about where it says San Sebastian under the green blob, that’s where Rincon is… crossing my fingers that this changes in the next 18 hours…!

So… Ngoc’s Macbook is dead… This is being published from my iPod Touch. Will update from home or from Prague…!!!!!!!!!

Sad… This was the most eventful day.

Damn you Grey Screen of Death!!!!!!!!

Funny how things work out. Of course the day my trip starts I get a bomb dropped on me at work. I now get to actually assume the role that matches my title. I’ll be the Marketing Manager of Fortune, Money and Real Simple Magazines. Along with this, I’ll have an associate manager under me. While both exciting and disheartening (they broke up the dream team of Steve and me), I am a little ambivilent toward the situation.

I guess I shouldn’t talk about my job on this blog, but I thought I’d get it in there that it might affect how I write about this trip (I hope not!).

Tomorrow I leave for Europe. As most of you know, I’ve been talking about this trip nonstop for the past 2 months and now I’m finally going! I’m a little bit scared (only because the first 3-4 hours will be on my own and without my security blanked aptly named… Ngoc) but I think if I can survive New York, I can survive anything!

Let’s see. I have one rolly suitcase. Mainly filled with clothing, my lovely brand new camera and various other essentials. Other than that, I’m not bringing much. Mainly due to the fact that I definitely do not want to lug it all around.

I’ll leave you now with this complimentary picture of a flower that I took in Madison Square Park with the new camera I got.

NOW I remembered why Taiwan really sucks sometimes. When I get there, it’s gonna be massively raining!!! This means.. I can’t do a lot of things my first week. Waahh!!! I want it to stop raining!!!!!

Anyway, I leave at 10:40am… it’s currently 7:27am. I’m REALLY COLD and REALLY TIRED.

*note to self* Wireless in DTW Airport – $6/24 hours.

Good night.

Well, I’ve returned and this pretty much concludes the end of this blog… minus some pictures I still have to put up concluding my trip. So come back soon for those. Home is really nice… I rolled around on the ground. The floor is clean. Oh I love it here.

All the Taiwan stuff I needed:

That’s all folks. Tune in for pictures.
