While waiting on our cab in the hotel lobby, my dad took up a conversation with another American soldier. He mentioned that we were on our way to Vilnius, but it was clear the soldier had zero idea where that […]
The next morning we caught a bus to Riga, Latvia. The buses here are really nice. They have coffee machines and “in-bus” entertainment. The whole trip was about four hours, so not too bad. One interesting thing was that the […]
I’ve been having this never-ending internal debate about whether to actively journal my travels on Facebook as I normally do, or to save them and create blog posts later, which I’ll eventually do anyway. Meanwhile, the #AdventurePartnerForLife (at home) has […]
A Day In Lugano So, now we begin our journey from the Riviera into the Alps—Italian, Swiss, and German. I’ll admit I was relieved to be heading to Lugano, and away from Genoa, but I’ll also take personal responsibility for […]

A Day Trip to Andorra It was a long, albeit relaxing, day and actually included stops in three countries—Spain, France, and Andorra. Tomorrow, we’d travel back into France again to tour around Avignon. Our first stop was in a medieval […]
Our Riviera/Alps Railing Itinerary It’s interesting. For all the times I’ve been to Europe, I hadn’t yet explored this part of Europe. I’ve been to Spain and France and Italy and Switzerland before, but—aside from Barcelona—not these specific parts of […]
Off to South Korea! Who says a travel day has to be boring? I have lots of details to report! Today, we’re flying to South Korea and, later, we’ll be visiting the DMZ. The Taiwan airport is actually really nice […]
All Around the Isle of Skye Oh, so many ferries this trip. Not so many once we get into the Scottish Highlands, though. First ferry of the day required no booking. We arrived five minutes before the next one was […]
Road-Tripping Scotland to Islay Had to wake up very early to get to the ferry terminal after my very non-baronial night’s sleep. We learned only by chance that you had to book tickets in advance when one of our hotels […]
Driving Around the Faroe Islands Yaaasss. I finally slept in! And I slept really well. Desperately needed. We got a late start and barely made breakfast time, but it was so worth it. Jeff learned earlier that morning that all […]
