After my Ispahan adventure on the 19th of March, I woke up on the morning of the 20th with my toe in very bad shape. I’m a little embarrassed to admit this, but I immediately called my mother in Australia (as opposed to my mother in, erm, Uzbekistan… yep). I told her I had to come [...]

Today, I bring you the final instalment of my day in New York. You remember, the one that saw me shopping, traipsing, gaining and losing two children, losing and gaining my wallet, and all before 3:30 in the afternoon? By the time my wallet was safely back in my shaking hands, I was ready for some serious calming and nurturing of [...]

I love New York. Broadway, beautiful shoes, and a plethora of gourmet stores stocking my favourite edible treasures: high-end chocolate and ingenious dairy-free/vegan foods. Having visited New York three times in the past four years, I decided to dismiss all feelings of tourist obligation this time around. Instead, I planned to spend my two stop-over [...]

It’s funny how first impressions can be erroneous. Or, if not erroneous, at the very least amendable. Take today, for instance. Now, keep in mind that I’m six hours into my second flight of the day, that I’ve already been awake 13 hours and need to stay up at least another 8 in an attempt [...]

Following on from the business of the bid-ness, my second (and last) trip on Savannah’s CAT shuttle was similarly eventful and, for want of a better word, character-driven. It all began on a rainy day in December, when I wrapped my left foot in its super-cool plastic bag toe-protection rain-gear and caught the shuttle to [...]

1. You know you’re a good traveller when someone asks you for directions mere hours after you’ve arrived in a new city, and you can answer them correctly. (You know you’re me when those directions are to a grocery store.) 2. Make sure you check that the freezer compartment in your hotel room’s microfridge is [...]

People getting off a non-smoking train with cigarettes already in their mouths. Must not waste precious smoking seconds. PRECIOUS SMOKING SECONDS. Being approached in Savannah’s Holiday Inn Express dining room by an older lady (really, what else did you expect by this point?) wanting to know what I was reading during breakfast, as I was “so [...]

You know that saying about walking a mile in a person’s shoes before you can understand them (or judge them, depending on the version of the quote)? Well, I’m here to argue that to understand a town or city, you must first ride several miles on its public transportation system. And not the tourist-oriented public [...]

Just to be clear, I’m not the old lady in this scenario. There seems to be some universal equation whereby Hannah + Long-Distance Amtrak = Old Lady Seatmate Who Succumbs To My Platonic Charms. Yes, folks, it happened again on my Amtrak from Savannah to Washington, DC. Yet just as the DC-bound train was shorter [...]

A part of me was dreading the 16-hour overnight Amtrak train I just took from New York to Savannah, Georgia. Honestly, who wouldn’t have been? It’s 16 hours. On a train. Without any kind of in-system entertainment, no WiFi, and a length of time that renders avoiding the restroom impossible. But you know what makes the [...]
