Planes, Trains, and Cardiff and Doctor Who Part 1

This paragraph is repeated in all five parts of this “Planes, Trains, and Cardiff and Doctor Who” posts, so if you read it once no need to read it four more times! Well, unless you want to. In 8 days, I went to, in order: DCA (Washington DC, USA) to ORD (Chicago) to LAX (Los Angeles) and stayed overnight there. Went from LAX to YVR (Vancouver) and hopped on a BA Airbus A380 to LHR (London). Then went on the Heathrow Express to Paddington. Caught the GWR (Great Western Railway) to Cardiff. Walked to Holiday Inn hotel next to the Principality Stadium. Went to Cardiff Castle. Hopped on the water taxi to Cardiff Bay. Walked over to the Millennium Centre. Then walked to the Doctor Who Experience (where I shot most of the pictures). Came back. Hopped on the water taxi and went back to the hotel. Then train from Cardiff Central to London Paddington. Walked to the Hilton Metropole hotel. Visited my old hangouts – Sherlock Holmes Pub by Charring Cross and then off to Waxy O’Connor’s by Piccadilly Square. Back to the hotel. Then Heathrow Express from Paddington to LHR. BA FIrst Class! Relaxed for an hour or so in the BA Concorde Club room, then off onto the BA Boeing 787 from LHR to SJC (San Jose). Then from SJC to LAX and stayed overnight at LAX. Then From LAX to ORD on an AA Boeing 787. Lastly went from ORD to DA and to my hotel and zonked out…

Seattle Adventure with Charissa and Kevin 28-APR to 01 MAY 2016

[28-APR to 01 MAY 2016, Seattle, WA]

Another trek with my friends. This time around, Charissa and Kevin. To Seattle. (Charissa works for Starbucks so it was massively cool for her.) I’ve been to Seattle before but haven’t done a lot of the stuff we did this time, so that was new for me too, including: The Science Fiction Museum (EMP Museum) -which was showing the traveling Hello Kitty Museum, going up the Space Needle, riding the monorail, doing the Seattle Underground Tour and finding another absinthe bar – The Polar Bar at the The Arctic Club Hotel 🙂

Canal Boat Ride from Camden Lock to Paddington – UK Oct 07-12, 2015

[OCT 07-23 2015, Camden, UK]
So I have been to the UK a bunch of times and posting the same pics each would be not-to-exciting. So, this time, I stayed in Camden and took the canal boat from the Camden Lock to Paddington. If you ant speed, take the tube; if you want to go slow, take the boat. About an hours ride.

This boat started at Camden Lock and went to Paddington. Now there are canal boats that go through the lock itself so that might be cool to do next time… Anyway, here are the pics:

San José, Costa Rica Ziplining Pics AUG 20-23 2015

[AUG 20-23 2015, San José, Costa Rica]

So, I have been to Liberia, Costa Rica along the west coast before, so this time, it’s the interior region, or specifically the capitol of Costa Rica, San José. Visted there with my friend and his wife and stayed at the Hotel InterContinental. Cool place. The foreign ministers of the world were there for a trade conference. But, the pictures are just from my ziplining trip way out in the boonies – click on the pic or the title below to check out all the pics…
