I'm a lot braver than I was in 2015. I tackled Chengdu on my own this time due to its expanded Metro service.
In my first visit to Chengdu I had a guide and car to take me around the city. The other reason was the 2015 hotel was closer to the Panda Base than the city proper. Only on my last two days did I brave using the public bus service to get from my hotel to the zoo and the panda Jusyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483431771034281872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972725814004351225.post-75583321583987562662017-05-16T15:39:00.000-04:002017-05-16T15:39:28.697-04:00Hotel Toiletries - Take Them or Not
According to the New York Post article This is why you should steal shampoo from hotels, you should take them. However, make sure you take the toiletries you used, too, meaning the opened bottles and soap. Why?
The NY Post does not tell us anything new. Hotels throw out the toiletries you open. What gets thrown out winds up in landfill.

I have multiple email accounts. I manage majority of these mail accounts by having one account retrieve them. Well, it seems the main account was having problems retrieving one of the accounts for the past month. I took care of the problem child several nights ago.

While working on the Beluga cams, the Captain worked with one of the interns to come up with an Haiku after I looked up the format for them -- 3 phrases, 1st line 5 syllables, line 2 7 and line 3 5.I also took it on as a challenge for myself and came up with this.

My life is not all cams -- pandas and the world of explore.org. I somehow still squeeze in reading, finishing a book or 3 a week.

My craft email brought Maggie to mind as she was the one who peaked my interest in crochet. My memories are a bit foggy. I'm sure Maggie crocheted ponchos for us girls. She then help me with crocheting my own.
Maggie would watch television while she crocheted hats, sweaters, or ponchos for baby dolls. I never knew what happen to all those doll clothes and baby dolls.

China
Things I learned from doing this trip. This is only for a leisure trip from an U.S. national point of view.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
1. Yes, you need a passport to enter and return to the U.S.
2. You need a visa for China but not for Hong Kong. Before you even fill in the application, make sure you have paid for flights going to and coming back from China. Also, you will need to identify the Jusyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17483431771034281872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972725814004351225.post-18158064686979206722015-11-19T23:00:00.000-05:002015-11-19T23:00:02.374-05:00China & Hong Kong: Travel AgenciesI was suppose to go to China in 2014.

I really don't do lists, but if I did, visiting China and Hong Kong will be on it. Why? I have to see the homeland of pandas. Plus, I need to visit all the Disney playgrounds. Some might think I need to visit the land I was born in. Nope, pandas and Disney were the main reasons for this trip.

It really doesn't.
I finally decided to tackle a drawer today--the one that holds all my slips and pantyhose. A drawer that I've not opened since business casual became the norm.
I think the last time I put on pantyhose or a slip was on June 1, 2000. That was the last day of 10-month consulting assignment at Amerada Hess. Business casual was only permitted on Fridays which I did not work.

When you hear that you can store your stuff up in the "cloud", do you really know what that is? Are you using it just because it's the latest fad?
Bottomline, the "cloud" is someone else's hardware. It is not those fluffy white stuff floating in the sky who some think that's how toilet paper is made.
