Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
I’m not sure why, but Ben and I have been into space lately. Strange (for us) but I’m totally getting into it. We started watching “For All Mankind”, which is a very interesting show and got us looking up facts about the space race. Fast forward a couple months and we found ourselves in Florida….
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…
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. I really wanted to visit the area in October because of The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, which is displays showing thousands of carved pumpkins! So Blaze was the reason…
Since we enjoyed the Paramount Pictures studio tour so much we decided to book the Warner Bros studio tour the following day. We didn’t have enough time to do the deluxe tour (equivalent for the Paramount Pictures VIP tour) at the Warner Bros Studio (even though I really, really wanted to), so we went with…
This is the third Universal Studios park that we have been to. We love our theme parks, and especially love the Harry Potter areas at Universal Studios. Since we only had one day at the park, and we really enjoyed it while in Japan, we decided to get the express pass ticket. The pass was…
One of the things that I really wanted to do while in LA was a studio tour. I love movies and TV, I love the magic and everything behind the scenes. I’m not really a crazy celebrity fan – I’m all about the magic behind the camera and the history throughout the years. I looked…
Our a return trip from Breckenridge, Colorado we went the direct route down Interstate 80 (rather than the scenic route we took out – see Roadtrip through Nebraska Sandhills for details on that trip). We did take our time on the 8 hour journey, stopping near Breckenridge at an outlet mall for some shopping, and…
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…
Nikko was a highlight of our trip to Japan. We experienced the Japanese Edo Era, got to see some amazing old shrines and temples, saw the wise monkey carving, and had the best New Year’s Eve we have both ever had. Plus we got to see snow (which was the main reason for visiting Japan over Christmas).
After spending a few days in Tokyo we planned to take the bullet train to Osaka. We had a relaxed morning, and then made our way to Tokyo Station to catch the train. We had some time before the train departed so we had some lunch and did some shopping. Shortly after lunch we took…
