What does it sound like flying in Asia from a 747 cockpit? Noisy, and a lot of people with funny accents.

On this cold winter’s morning I was rewarded with to-the-horizon views, a rare sight in this city, as the factories shut down for the Chinese New Year.

A Hike at Watson’s Bay, Sydney

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Susan Grant

December, the height of summer in Sydney, and the weather was perfect, sunshine and temperature in the low 70s. I rode the ferry from Circular Quay to Watson’s Bay for an hour’s walk up and down the hilly path at dizzying heights above the Tasman Sea. The views are gobsmacking; nothing in the US that I’ve seen matches it. And yet this is but one of countless places like it here in Australia. Lucky Aussies! I ended up at Doyles for some fresh whole snapper with rocket salad and avocado-mango chutney, washed down with some icy local Riesling. Expensive with the current exchange rate, but worth it, a real treat! I rode the ferry back as the day began to cloud over. I hear it’s been an unusually chilly and damp summer down here, and everyone I spoke to today told me I timed my visit well, they hadn’t had a day this fine in a while. My lucky day!! It was a blissful afternoon.

Breakfast in Hong Kong

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Susan Grant

Found a little place to eat breakfast this morning by the bus terminus near the Wan Chai Star Ferry dock. No name of the place in any form I could recognize but it looks out at where the busses park. The congee was hot and thick with corn and delicious shredded pork–best I’ve had in a long time. The turnip cakes not so much. Even spiced with chili sauce I was bored with them. Tomorrow will return for just the congee and the coffee (was also very good). All at a cost of only about $2.50!

I’m in AUDIO!!

View From Above: Mt Fuji

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Susan Grant

All month I’ve been flying to Shanghai and back to San Francisco. On the return flight, the route takes us over Japan until we head out over the ocean just south of Tokyo. You just can’t beat the amazing views of Mt Fuji. I took these as we passed by. They came out so clear that the hiking trails are even visible!
