Follow me on my next adventure!!
Today we headed to Herculaneum and Pompeii. But first, breakfast! The hotel offered a buffet, moms first experience. I got the usual - eggs, cheese and yogurt. Mom got yogurt, pastries, some meat. It was a nice way to start the day, especially because of the view! After breakfast we headed back to the train... Continue Reading →
Well - we did it!! We made it to Italy!! Our trip started on October 16th in Sacramento - a nice early flight to Dallas. We got to spend a couple hours in the American Airlines lounge (thank you status) before getting on our flight to Roma! From Dallas it is a 10.5 hour flight.... Continue Reading →
I slept so well last night. The bed was nice, but the temperature was just right! It was a beautiful night so we slept with the windows open instead of the AC. We went to breakfast and it was buffet style again. It was set up very nicely and had lots to choose from. It... Continue Reading →
Our Porto hotel has by far been our favorite. It was very nice, excellent customer service and we LOVED the location.

This morning we got up and enjoyed some breakfast - but not before being very much out of it because of a one hour time change between Portugal and Gibraltar. For some reason that really threw off our bodies clocks. Anyway, after breakfast I packed my stuff up and Chris and I took his suitcase... Continue Reading →
Today we left Lisbon, but not before checking out the last two things on our to do list: the oldest bookshop in the world and the Cathedral (Se Cathedral). We first headed to the bookstore that opened at 9am. Google told us it would take about 10 minutes, so we went walking. Of course, its... Continue Reading →
Well, today is the day - international travel is back! (I mean for me at least, its been back for a while, but I was waiting for the right time). Chris and I are meeting in Lisbon tomorrow. I started my day early - around 5am. I was so excited to travel, I couldnt sleep.... Continue Reading →
Friday, August 16 I slept in today because I was so exhausted from yesterday. Its crazy how traveling can where you out – even though I am just sitting there on a train watching my tablet. I need to get better at wearing my blue light glasses, because it really does help. The cleaning lady... Continue Reading →
