The grass is always greener. When your traveling in Ireland, it pretty much literally is. However, despite the landscape, it’s worth mentioning that Travel has its own very real demands on ones mental strength.
Sometimes if your traveling with people, the sheer amount of time spent having to make minute to minute decisions that involve not only yo...

In all my wanderings abroad, it’s amazing what a little Wifi can accomplish. On a day tour, on a plane for eight hours, you go were you go and you take pictures where you are taken. But when you have actively to explore a city and no extra euro to spend on fancy international data plans, Wifi is a tool and a blessing.
I like to map out where I go...

My captain, (Tim) my captain
If I thought “catching up” on sleep was a possibility before Ireland, it almost seems laughable now starting the second leg of our journey. Its 6 am (1 am for you savvy followers) and I’m the last awake and the first ready, praising my foresight of picking up a starbucks from the little corner market under our flat the...

3 am feels more and more natural everyday and this morning, we literally jump out of bed to a little harmless spilling type accident that I so fortunately thought to wake us to. No harm, no foul and certainly now an even earlier start to our day.
Having spent the hour it takes to work out packing up the previous night, we get our feet to the groun...

Stepping out
Coffee is life and Pret’s are as to London as Starbucks is to America.
However, a Macchiato does not follow the same equation, as Lucia had the pleasure of finding out. I got my forth Flat White of the trip and we sat in a wee park enjoying the morning air before we shuffled down to the underground. Despite several transfers and li...

8 AM That’s 3 am for all you Westerners. Four snoozes later, we are up, out the door, and one tube stop down at the London Tower Bridge station for a bite to eat at The Breakfast Club.
As someone who does not relish the idea of breakfast, I was shocked just how much I enjoyed this meal. This blast from the past styled diner seemed to be the mo...

Let’s get this out of the way as far as informative blogging goes, Norwegian Air: you get what you pay for. As for a 11 pm flight from MCO to Gatwick, London fortunately for me, that just meant a “dreamliner” where the dreams were questionable but the flight did it’s job. Lucia tells me the food was par for the course airline delicacies and the in-...

Coming back to the states Spoiler: I am safe and sound, already home adjusting to the ebb and flow of "productive living" with a an affinity for the morning (thank you time change). But we will finish this adventure together, the way we started.

It's my last day in Europe! Disneyland. It's funny, because of my experiences to date, people seem to have the most opinions about my trek to Disneyland and there is not much middle ground. For me it is an opportunity, maybe to a few it seemed like a waste of a Paris day.
For me though, I've spent almost a month absorbing new, historical, and cult...

It's another full day Under, up, and over Paris Caffeinated, today was a day for Le Metro. Even with some extra speed under the city, it was still an eleven mile day. So hold tight and perhaps grab a snack.
Eiffel Tour

Ready Set Art My first full day in Paris It's spring time in Paris, which similar to Florida means completely unpredictable rain. In its manic episodes, the sky opens with gusto, making the local vendors very profitable on their umbrella sales. Not a great place for ponchos, as the depressive state of the sky only likes to casually consider the ide...

It feels a lot like one very long day When does a day even really begin? If it's when you wake up, then my day started and stopped all across Italy, Switzerland, and France. The TGV was another experience of it's own. The view may be no different from first to second class, but the luck of the draw seating might have been worth the set back. Not th...

The gray skies rolled away in the night and I woke up to a bright and ready blue morning
Some places in the Cinque Terre you can book ahead of time online. They are hard to find, trust me. Air bnb opened a few more options but most places are found simply by wandering the streets and looking for rooms open signs. Being the type A that I am, I did...

This was a day for hiking. Backpacking across the countryside, yes
Backpacking in the city, yes
Backpacking while trying to fit into a tiny gelato store, yes
Today had it all and then some. It was a cool, grey day outside. Maybe the pictures have less of that high dynamic range without editing but my face also has much less sun burning. So it's...

Get ready for a real culture shock I thought I was prepared. I was not. Leaving Florence was not easy. I got my last 1.20 E espresso at my favorite little local bar, knocking over locals with my increasingly huge pack and was on my way. The trains, also not the most simple. Thankfully there are young Italians literally waiting on the trains for los...
