October 10, 2022 It was a bit rough waking up this morning, Lauren said I talked in my sleep and when my alarm went off for the first time apparently I said “noooo” out loud! Anyway, after getting showered and dressed we had to pack our stuff up! We are heading to Inverness today!! But... Continue Reading →
Go Pack, noooooo!!
October 9, 2022 My day started very early this morning, my alarm was set for 330, but I woke up at 3am, so excited to go see my Packers in London! Lauren was not as excited about my early departure, but thankfully I think I was able to be quiet enough to keep her sleeping. ... Continue Reading →
He got a PhD to give free tours!
October 8, 2022 Today we had to get up a bit early, 6am, for a 630am leave to get to Edinburgh. It, of course, was dark when we left and we learned pretty quickly that nothing is open at 630 in the morning, or 7 or 8 for that matter. After a good search (attempt,... Continue Reading →
Over the river and through the woods…
October 7, 2022 We stayed in our cabin last night on the Isle of Skye and woke up refreshed, ready to seize the day. Ok, that isn't necessarily true we woke up and were excited, but still exhausted. That drive yesterday did me in, but Lauren also was exhausted from her travel day plus the... Continue Reading →

Luxembourg….er; France
Monday, August 12 I arrived in Luxembourg after a nice relaxing train ride. This is one I had to buy because they didnt have any more Eurail spots. I got off the train and found the left luggage place - $5 a piece - but better than lugging around my backpack and duffel all day.... Continue Reading →
Den Haag…another day with no joke
Sunday August 11 – Den Haag I slept in again today – my back was hunting again – but I had looked yesterday and almost everything was closed until noon today, so there was no reason to rush out of the house. I love taking walking tours and recommend them to anyone traveling. Usually it... Continue Reading →
Den Haag – The Hague….
Saturday, August 10 I was so tired from traveling that I slept in until about 9am! It was wonderful actually, minus the fact that my back always hurts when I sleep that long. I decided to get ready for the day so I can catch my train to Amsterdam. I always wonder how older people... Continue Reading →
Show me the way OUT of San Jose
Thursday, August 8 – Friday, August 9 I worked today before my 8pm flight – but didn’t walk enough and when you are going to be stuck on a plane for 10+ hours, getting in your steps becomes very important. So after my very slow (not just because of traffic, but because my driver really... Continue Reading →
