http://alifeinwaiting.com Rediscovering Dreams Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:38:52 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but apparently today I’m in a reflective mood.  I seem to be thinking about things a tad deeper than normal lately, not sure if it’s because of any particular pivotal moment or just because I’m too tired to do anything ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/05/03/day-of-reflection/ Ok, this is slowly becoming a failed project.  I was really hoping to document my travels for my own posterity and to keep everyone back home up to date, but I am failing miserably.  What one would think to be an easy task, has become near impossible for me.  And ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/05/03/is-there-anybody-still-out-there/ Hmm, final chapter might not be the proper phrase as everywhere I have traveled to so far in Spain I’ve thought those same words above (except for Valdepeñas, but I’ll get to that later).  But for now, I am still referring to Madrid.  It is now Sunday morning and Kris ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/25/i-could-live-here-final-chapter/ As I am experiencing so many things daily, I struggle to find time to record my adventures.  It’s more important for me to really get as much as I can from this trip rather than to just take pictures and write about my day here.  I’m sure I should easily ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/25/brief-intermission/ On Friday morning I took to the city alone.  Kris had plans for the day and I try to give myself a walking tour of every city I go to.  As for someone who never was a large walker, I have really found that it truly is the best way ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/15/i-could-live-here-part-dos/ I am in Madrid’s version of Central park, Parque del Retiro, sitting in the grass and listening to a man playing the accordion quite passionately in the distance.   All around me there are people jogging, biking, strolling or just laying in the sun picnicking.  Everyone enjoying the clear blue skies ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/14/i-could-live-here/ Yup, my baby was still there!  After walking for what seemed like hours while on the downswing of a caffeine high, I finally found the place where I parked my bike.  Rounded the corner and breathed a sigh of relief as I saw the glint of my silver cover!  Not ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/10/happy-dance-happy-dance/ Well with a full battery charge, I feel comfortable enough to do a bit of writing on the plane.  The last time I tried this, I ended up in Munich with no battery left on my laptop and all my important information inaccessible on the hard drive.  Vowing to not ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/09/enroute-to-madrid/ Talk about a long travel day.  It started out with a two hour train ride from Helsinki to Tampere, Finland.  From Tampere train station a ½ hour bus ride to the Tampere Airport followed by a three hour flight to Frankfurt where I had an overnight layover.  When I arrived ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/09/frankfurt/ I spent from February 25th until April 8th in Helsinki.  Turns out old man winter never really showed up this year.  He decided to vacation in a bit further south, in the Germany region.  So Finland was quite dark, unseasonably warm and rainy.  A bit dark too.  I was quite ... http://alifeinwaiting.com/2008/04/09/my-time-in-hel/
