Europe Trip 2007
With just one day in Florence, I opted for the Pitti Palace and adjacent Boboli Gardens, rather than the mega-popular galleries on the other side of the river. It turns out this "one" Palace contains about a hundred different galleries and mu...

"Ciao Bella!" Your Mom, Seriously
My last Florence-based day I decided to daytrip to Siena. But I didn't get going on the bus thing early enough, so I had to wait until a 1pm bus. Didn't leave a ton of time to see Siena, as I had to get back to Florence to catch an evening train to Rom...

Europe = love
Saturday morning, I got up and went to meet the other Jill, for a bit of Paris sightseeing. Unfortunately, when we went to put her luggage in the train station lockers, her wallet got stolen. I feel awful, because I actually saw the guy who did it, but...

Far and Wide - Trips to the world inside and outside of me
Sometimes our journeys take us to the strangest places...or life does. If somebody sent you a ticket and told you to fly to the States and meet somebody you have never seen in person just like that, would you do it? I did... I always wanted to...

I hate writing these things at home, after the fact. The whole point is to keep in touch while on the road. However, in some cases (such as this one) I like to reflect with the clarity of hindsight on a trip well taken. Actually that last part isn'...

Touring Italy with Trenitalia
We had orginally thought of visiting Pompei as part of a trip to Naples after having seen enough of Rome. Part of the advantage of not over-planning the trip in advance was that we could change that. Naples, we'd heard and read, was not a pleasant plac...

Musee D'Orsay: awesome. Sculptures rocked the house. Three in particular reminded me of the superior AP, Diz and me. Hard to explain why. There was also a painting that screamed Rohan. Waves of purple. Cool stuff. Versailles: also pretty awesome. Cr...
