"Traveling lets me
see the world through my eyes!"
Thank you for stopping by!
My On-line name is Trekcapri but my real name
is Kathy and I created this website as a way to journal my travel experiences (including photos/videos) and other hobbies.
Visit my Trekcapri Blog which I originally started so I can blog while traveling.
Since then, I have expanded it's use to also include serving as a creative outlet to write about my hobbies, interests
and other random thoughts (and trust me there can be a lot of them stirring up in my mind)!

Two becomes One . . .
I've decided to maintain just one blog starting this month. I found
it too time consuming to keep up with two separate blogs and actually found myself debating over whether to put an entry in
my Travel Blog or on this blog.
And then I realized, why don't I just keep one blog and rename it.
Besides I like how my travel blog has categories. It's just so much easier. I'll still create a Trip Planning
page and continue to maintain this website to keep up with all my photo albums, trip reports, etc. I will simply
link to them from my one main blog.
Sometimes you just have to make adjustments as you move through
life. Here's just one more! :)

Knowing what's important . . .
Okay, I've decided that I really need to finish my Venice Report and
photos! I'm beginning to forget a lot of details and that can't be good. I have a lot of projects up
ahead of me and I know that I'm behind on this year's trip planning to Spain! Yikes!
But wait . . . my trip report is important to me! Venice is important
to me! And my memories and photos are important to me! And so I've decided to discipline myself to get
it done, even if it cuts into my SlowTravel time!

Soulful Teena . . . take two!
By popular demand, I've decided
to re-write a blog entry that I did on April 29, 2006. The entry was about my experience
seeing famous R & B Recording artist, Teena Marie, perform at a 5K Run benefit here in Los Angeles. I'm hoping that this entry will help to feature this wonderful artist
once again as she is an awesome singer/songwriter. Based on the reaction of the audience during her performance,
it was clear that even after all these years, Teena still maintains her broad appeal and fan base.
This amazing performance was highlighted by a duet Teena sang with her 14-year old daughter, Alia Rose.
They sang "Resilient" from her Sapphire Album and it was so awesome to watch mother and daughter perform together.
Here’s what I wrote (along with
my photos) . . . .
Famous R&B performing artist
Teena Marie serenaded a crowd of runners at a recent 5K Race last Sunday. Her
latest album due out May 9, 2006 will feature her newest hit single “Ooh Wee.”
Teena is famous for her soulful vocals and she proved it on Sunday morning. With
the accompaniment of her pianist she belted out a smooth and soulful song whose title unfortunately escaped me as I was busy rushing the
stage to be in the front row. Although absent from the limelight for some
time, Teena’s soulful vocals managed to move some to tears.
After her performance I
approached her and managed to thank her in person. She was very kind to even
pose for a picture with yours truly. What an experience. She is truly a superstar in my eyes.

Millie Grazie' Teena!
So thanks to those of you who
alerted me to the missing photos on my original post. I must have mistakingly deleted them when restructuring my website.

NOW back to traveling . . .
So what's up for 2008? I've been contemplating Spain and just
recently decided to add Lisbon, Portugal, just because!
At the recent LA Travel Show I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time talking
about my trip with the guys from the Spain Tourism Office Booth. He took out a map and drew me a possible itinerary
so I could cover the things I wanted to see (ie., the White Villages, Sevilla, Granada, etc.). He said to fly into Madrid
then take the high speed train to Sevilla. Even gave me tips on where to see the flamenco shows. So this
year I'll be venturing off to two new countries. COOL!
Yes, it is killing me not to visit Italy this year, but I still have
this undeniable desire to see and experience other countries too! Honestly, Italy will be there in 2009!
 And who knows, maybe I'll really enjoy Spain and Portugal. I may even enjoy South America, Eastern
Europe, Asia, Turkey, Africa,etc. The point is, I'll never know unless I give it a try. And
if I don't happen to fall in love with it as I do Italy, then so what. The experience of getting to know different
cultures around the world will only enrich my life.
Here's a photo of a speaker from the South Africa Tourism Office. She
really did a great job in her presentation and NOW I'm thinking about South Africa for 2010! She said that
South Africa will be hosting the next World Cup in 2010 and is starting to prepare for the worldwide attention. Picture
it! An African safari adventure and then off to see a World Cup Soccer match. NOW that's different! Dang,
I'm easy!

This is what I'm talking about . . .
Now this is a "SUPERBOWL" performance . . . Watch it while you can!
Edited to Add: As suspected, the Youtube of Prince's
2007 Awesome Superbowl Performance was pulled. Another one went up again, but it'll probably be pulled within hours
too. If you missed it, it was really good. Luckily, I have that performance on tape somewhere.
Prince is an absolute genius!
