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….

Explore Athen’s Archaeological Sites
A Quick Trip to Athens to visit the Archaeological Sites I’m so excited to say that we finally made it to Athens to visit the Acropolis. Yes!!! I’ve been fascinated with Greek mythology for some time, and we’ve been trying to do a bit of travel around Greece for several years to see the famous…
Three Days in Istanbul
As we made our way back to London from Albania, we decided to spend a few days in Istanbul. We stayed at a lovely place in the Sultanahmet area. This area turned out to be great. It was a short walk to all the attractions we wanted to visit and there were great food and…
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…
Warner Bros Studio Tour
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…
Universal Studios Hollywood
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…
Paramount Pictures Studio Tour
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…
A Day in Kyoto, Followed by a Night in a Capsule
We only had one full day free for Kyoto, so we decided to visit the Sourthern Higashiyama and Gion areas. We arrived from Osaka in the morning and left our luggage at the train station. We found a few lockers however the larger ones were all full. After wondering the train station looking for a…
Two Days in Tokyo
Unfortunately, we lost a full day in Tokyo due to our flight being cancelled. We were supposed to arrive in Tokyo early (very early) in the morning, but due to weather issues and then engineering issues our flight was cancelled and rescheduled for early afternoon the next day. Anyway, we lost a full day in…
