Going on a safari in South Africa!!! Man, all of those comments really made me want to go to Thailand though!! We’ll get there some day. Poor Iceland only got one vote!! Iceland is awesome, people! Again…some day. (And I’m not talking about “some day” as in “really, probably never” but I’m really really serious [...]

Spanish Road Trippin’

January 7, 2012

I have another trip surprise… Right now we are in the car for a very long day of driving. About 9 hours of driving. And from where we live, we could get to any number of places in 9 hours, but this time, we’re on official business: put an end to our illegal immigration status. [...]

Neuschwanstein Castle & Liechtenstein

December 21, 2011

Rounding out our winter vacation, we made a stop at Neuschwanstein Castle and Liechtenstein before heading back to the Milan airport to fly home. Our driving day to Neuschwanstein Castle (heretofore represented as NC because I can’t keep typing that out) was foggy. Not just a little foggy, it was foggy to the extreme of [...]

Munich

December 20, 2011

We spent three days in Munich on our trip, and it was wonderful! I’d heard fabulous things about Munich, but wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of its size. It was a much larger city than I had anticipated, but the public transportation was FANTASTIC. We could get anywhere we wanted through public transportation, [...]

Salzburg, Austria

December 7, 2011

After two days in Innsbruck, we drove about 2 hours to Salzburg to spend two days here! Unfortunately, the weather was not as cooperative in Salzburg as it was in Innsbruck and it rained the whole time we were here! I suppose that’s what you risk when you take a winter vacation, so we didn’t [...]

Innsbruck, Austria

December 5, 2011

There’s just something about mountain towns that I adore. Maybe it’s because my first European vacation featured mountains and beautiful scenery. Maybe it’s because I like the crisp, clean air. Maybe it’s because I got engaged at the top of a mountain in Europe. Whatever it is, I am so, so happy in the mountains. [...]

Coruña

November 29, 2011

This past Saturday was a gorgeous day. We decided to head into La Coruña, which is about 30 minutes away from us. It’s the 19th largest city in Spain and has a nickname of A cidade de cristal (The Glass City). Most of the buildings in the city are covered in windows, and when the sun [...]

“Let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”

October 16, 2011

Somehow, after 11 months of waiting for this day, it’s here. As romantic and wonderful as moving to Spain sounded to me eleven months ago, we now face the adventure we signed up for knowing that it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. We went through hell and back to get what we wanted with this [...]
