This may be controversial but we discussed, analyzed and decided to take a road trip in April to visit family that we haven't seen much of after returning to the U.S. and then pandemic and a trip cut short last year. Starting in San Diego, we drove to Flagstaff, AZ and drove Route 66 over … Continue reading Roadtripping
A little retail therapy this week produced a string of lighted clips that are displaying my bookmarks much better than the string and tape throw together I had them on previously. I have bookmarks from most of the places we traveled to while living in Europe - and one from Japan. I will organize this … Continue reading On A Positive Note
Sunday we decided to stop for breakfast at a local donut shop to give the small business our support. Being diabetic, this is not something I do often. I think it has likely been almost 10 years since my last donut...maybe had one in Japan to try their take on donuts. So, with the case … Continue reading A Cheat Day
It has been a minute since I've written here, mostly do to a cold that has taken it's time going away and I'm still coughing but here we are in the middle of October with Samhain (Halloween) and the darker part of the year approaching. I do love Autumn. In September we did a bit … Continue reading September Trips and an Update
We haven't been on a tour through the base services in quite a while so when we saw a tour for a honey farm and wine tasting in the Avellino Province, where it's nice and cool, we jumped on it and are so glad we did. The honey farm was really a chestnut tree farm … Continue reading A Lovely Sunday
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
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
The husband and I both have been to London but we didn't go together so this weekend was our chance to experience London together. Our plan was to see a few sites in between eating and drinking. I was in London in June 2017 and just realized I didn't blog the trip so I am … Continue reading A London Weekend
When we knew we were heading to Europe for three years we started a sort of wish list of places we wanted to go. Fairly high on the list for me was Norway. Getting there was a full day of flights because I went above the Arctic Circle to Tromsø. Why Norway? I have a … Continue reading A Quick Nordic Journey
This will be a long one. I normally pick and choose photos but I'm including almost all of the photos I took so my parents will see them. This post will be about a travel adventure but also a genealogy tracking for me and for my Dad as it's his bloodline. The first year in … Continue reading Slovakia via Krakow
