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...

We took a day trip to Genoa on this lovely Saturday. We first visited the aquarium there (the largest in Europe!) which was a lot of fun, then enjoyed the beautiful weather by the port, had a delicious full lunch, and then went to the mall! Yes, Genoa ...

A significant month. The 15th marked my 6 month anniversary of arrival in London. In celebration, I spent the day in Cambridge. It was a great day, with beautiful weather and plenty of green fields, pretty rivers, funky old buildings, and lazing uni st...

The loose ends are almost complete. The dog looks to be well looked after, my house renter should be moving in any day now, quit my job and most supplies are purchased. Now I just have to purchase a plan ticket and find a country to start my adventure ...

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...

Contiki

Well back in London now after an awesome 15 days on contiki. It certainly wasn’t a holiday though. Average 4 hours sleep a night and 6 hours travel a day. You soon learn to sleep on the bus. Accommodation was in hotels and cabins in camp grounds. No...

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...

Eurotrip. Summer. 2005.

My favourite parts of visiting Whiltshire were the road trips to Stonehenge, Avebury circle, the white horses, haunted pubs and crop circles! England is enchanting. I was excited to visit Stonehenge, it was somewhere that I'd always wanted to vis...

At The Umbrian Villa

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...

APs European Vacation

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...
