Well, the big move from Italy to America happened. We packed up and moved back to San Diego from Naples and are now getting our new (temporary) home set up with just one more shipping delivery yet to arrive. Here's the horrible truth of how it played out: December 27, 2019 had me sick, to … Continue reading Back In America

Preparing For Change
Yes, it is the New Year coming up but it's so much more than that. January will change our address and a big shift in me personally. I'll have to consider what to do with this blog as it won't be about Asia/Europe travel anymore. Also, 2020 will require my husband to make a big … Continue reading Preparing For Change
Out of Sorts
October was a very strange month for me. Starting with fighting a bad cold which had me pretty laid up for about two weeks then just as I was getting back on my feet we decided to go to a movie on the Navy base and the next morning I had pink eye. Oh and … Continue reading Out of Sorts

Rome Again
Had a friend come through Rome so I went up to play for a couple of days. It's always fun to see sites through someone's eyes for the first time. She had been to Rome before but had not gone to the Pantheon yet so we did that, it's still my favorite site in Rome. … Continue reading Rome Again
Liverpool and North Wales
I really wanted to see a different part of the UK, up to this point I'd basically seen Scotland and London. The decision of where to go was easy because I have a few contacts in North Wales, some people I haven't met in person but was very actively gaming with nearly 10 years ago … Continue reading Liverpool and North Wales

Winter Solstice and Christmas Markets
We do love a good Christmas Market area and Europe does not disappoint. This year we are doing two, Munich and Edinburgh. Munich was last weekend, I took some photos up until the Grog (basically rum and hot water), then the photos kind of stopped and the giggling and stumbling began. So, below are the … Continue reading Winter Solstice and Christmas Markets
