Phew! Finally made it to Paris after a gargantuan effort packing up our lives in London. We were working 16-18 hour days just trying to sort through all the crap we've accumulated over the past 4 years. But we managed to get the boxes packed and sent o...

So, Crete was wonderful--as usual. I got off the boat, inhaled the sweet pre-dawn air, and felt immediately as though I had come home. Our hotel was right on the waterfront, and though simple, was clean and attractive and the nicest manager ever. While...

Today was quite a day in Athens. I got up early with plans to go to Olympia, but found out everything closed at 3pm. Since I wouldn't get there until 11:30 with the 5 hour train ride, I figured I could find better things to do with my day. Because I...

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 ...

One of our waiter friends had family in a village in the hills behind Kalkan and they took us up there to meet them. Of course we were a curiosity as not too many non-Turks visited in homes, though they did sometimes come that way. A teahouse was pe...

Well as most people say.....it is good to see the Acropolis but get to the Greek Islands when you go to Greece. I will say it has changed her a bit since 1988. Most likely because of the summer Olympics that were here in 2004. They built a great Met...

Rome Study Abroad 2007
I always love how surprised I am to realize the “greatness” factor in certain areas of the globe. Take for example, Paris, France. I went to Paris during my first study abroad tour with a huge group of people from the program—and met up with my cousi...

I boarded the train and arrived in Bratislava, the capital of the newly independent kingdom of Slovakia, within the short space of an hour. The day was wet and overcast. Dinky little Bratislava! A cute little town with a cute little Hrad, and a cute li...

That's what I like in my cities. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg blaring through the streets. We decided to take a mini detour to Budapest. It's been muggy and chock full of fun stuff. The day we got here, we discovered that President Bush was following us i...

Europe by Boat
Well, travelling europe by boat is definately putting a new meaning to working and travelling. Instead of one proceeding the other it's all happening at the same time! We have hit so many places in the last couple of months I can barely keep up!

In brief: We go for a washed out road trip around Mykonos Today we went for a drive around the island of Mykonos. It was nothing as dramatic as the mountain tops of Crete however the roads were worse and the locals were demons on the road so the wh...

What can I say the Greeks know how to party!! - going out is a given every night and returning before 6 am is taboo... The days were for appreciating Greek culture, monuments etc..which in themselves are quite a sight...the night and early morning for...

The night train to Florence was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I tried to get some sleep early on because I was scared of missing the stop, but it was all too exciting. Changed at Pisa at 3:30am and fell asleep, woke up then nearly got off...

Greece is nothing short of amazing- the history, the people, and the incredible natural beauty. I spent only six days there but was able to see a lot in that short time. In Thessaloniki and Athens I walked in the footsteps of Paul the Apostle and saw w...

Have really enjoyed our time in London. Still feel like we're on holiday even though we have to work. London Weather: Not that bad! Even winter was bearable and the summer days are long and (mostly) sunny. Maybe we struck a good year? Londo...

I made it home, slightly worse for the wear. They say to not drink alcohol when crossing several time zones as it makes the jet lag worse, but then they give you free drinks on the plane! Silly people. So of course I indulged just a little. But now I'm...
