The calendar in November was pretty darn full which tends to happen towards the end of the year, December is looking a bit crazy too! This is going to be a bit of a long post so grab a cuppa tea and get comfy. The first weekend of November the husband and I went on … Continue reading November 2016 – Pompeii to Prague
When we found out we were going to be stationed in Italy I about fell over with excitement and anticipation. Partly because ... Europe! But partly also because my mother's side of the family all hails from Sicily - and my dad's bloodline comes from a humble mining village in the Slovakian mountains, I'm working on … Continue reading Sicily – Like Going Home
The husband and I decided the first trip to Rome we should drive then following trips we would figure out the train system. It was I think just under two hours to go from our town to the middle of Rome where we had reservations at Hotel Della Nazioni. The husband chose this hotel mainly … Continue reading First Trip to Rome
It has been a crazy couple of months with finding and moving in to our home (for the next few years) and exploring our new town.

Finally arriving in Tucson, Arizona on the 5th of March! We were picked up at the airport by my parents and went to their home to visit and pick up our well missed Mustang to use while in town.

This was not just your every day cobbler. It was EPIC! Big pan, Big slices of peaches and BIG yummy baked dough. It was often a Sunday morning … Continue reading Memories and Cravings
Food, Fun and Exercise - but not necessarily in that order. haha! As someone who loves to explore, the last few weeks have been rather close to home other than jumping up to Tokyo to say farewell to a friend who is getting married and since the party moved to the States. It was a … Continue reading Food, Fun and Exercise
Last weekend the husband and I put on our walking shoes and went to a very touristy spot that we hadn't been to in our two years in Japan yet. While it is called The Raumen Museum it isn't really a museum per se. For 310 Yen we gained access to ramen love. The first … Continue reading We Put Our Tourist Shoes On
