Claremont’s California Botanic Garden
The California Botanic Garden is a hidden gem within the city of Claremont. I say this because I only learned of this place recently and it’s such a nice find. I doubt many people are aware of this garden but I suppose this is a lie since the garden holds an annual holiday event here that’s quite popular (and on the expensive side) and when I visited the garden, there were a decent amount of people present. Not busy but not empty either.

Normalcy in the Travelsphere?
Is the travelsphere finally back to normal? I think not and I think it’s a shame that so many media outlets are making it seem as though things are already normal or quite close to it.

What kept me from traveling at times was a fear of mosquitoes. It wasn’t an unfounded fear since I’d really get eaten by them. Hawaii. Thailand. Okinawa, even. But really, Hawaii and Thailand was something.

When Traveling, Stay Away from Freebies
I like freebies but sometimes, I just have to turn my nose on a freebie. In the traveling world, there’s almost no such thing as free but once in a while you will actually come across free. And it is at that point in life that you decide if free is worth it because not every freebie is worth your time, energy, safety and sanity, even.

Famous and Loved in Okinawa
A long time ago, I wrote about how I must have a doppelganger in Fukuoka. But then I went to Okinawa and learned that I must have a doppelganger in Okinawa, too. Conclusion: It is confirmed that I have a doppelganger or two in Kyushu.
