Journey to the North Coast 500 (North UK Series 1 of 3)
We decided we wanted to do the North Coast 500 route along the north coast of Scotland. Since we were planning to drive all the way north, we thought we would take our time getting there (and back) from London. In the two weeks we took to get to Lochcarron to start the NC500 we…
15 Day Itinerary in the West Country (UK)
Day 1 – New Forest National Park New Forest National Park. We left home and headed through the New Forest National Park on our way to Beaulieu. The drive through New Forest was beautiful. Very green and ponies everywhere! The ponies would be in the field next to the road, on the shoulder, or sometimes…
Bath, UK – Quick visit to Bath
We decided to take a quick trip to Bath. We visited Bath in mid-November and had no issues getting tickets or waiting for entry times to any of the attractions. Ticket availability and wait times may be different at other times of the year. We arrived later in the day, too late to visit any…
Sleepy Hollow in October
We just spent a couple of days in Sleepy Hollow, New York (Tarrytown). Yes, Sleepy Hollow, as in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.

Land Diving on Pentecost Island, Vanuatu

Tanna, Vanuatu
Ben and I were both really excited to visit Tanna. Based on our research this island seemed quite different to the other islands we were visiting this trip. The main attraction is the volcano – Mount Yasur. We decided to stay three nights in Tanna. The first two nights were spent near the volcano and…
Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
We began our time in Vanuatu on the island of Aore. We stayed at Aore Island Resorts. The resort arranged transport for us from the airport in Luganvile. It was a short drive to the boat dock and then a 10 minute boat ride to the island. When we arrived at the resort we were…
Romania in 7 Days
Romania. I can easily say that Romania is one of my favorite countries. There is so much to like about Romania, and so many different things to see and do. I’m not a big fan of returning to places we have already visited, but Romania is on the top of my list of places to…
