Two Castles, neither on a hill

October 6, 2022 Today Lauren finally made it! Wooohoo!! However, it meant I had to leave the beautiful Airbnb at the farm at 630 am. It was such a lovely evening, I slept VERY well and was refreshed when I woke up. The rain had begun, it wasn't horrible, but enough that driving on the... Continue Reading →

Bom Bidi Bom Jesus

Our Porto hotel has by far been our favorite. It was very nice, excellent customer service and we LOVED the location. I mean, in reality it was Chris and his research into the hotels that allowed us to have such great stays. We had a patio off our room, robes, a great bathroom - it... Continue Reading →

More bones, duh!

We got up earlier than breakfast today so we could walk around town since we didnt get here until basically it was closed for the night yesterday. On our way out we asked to move breakfast to 10 so we could stop at the bone church (wooohoo) BEFORE we ate. They had an opening, so... Continue Reading →

Gibraltar!! We are HERE!

This morning we started out with breakfast on the roof at our little B&B - it was pre-plated for us, so we just took what we wanted from each other's plates. I had two hard boiled eggs, grilled cheese sandwich and some water. Chris has ham and cheese sandwich, watermelon and some tea. After breakfast... 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 →

Aloha Maui!!

My cousin is getting married in Maui and that afforded me the perfect opportunity to head to the islands for the first time. With all the traveling I do I have acquired quite a bit of airline and hotel points and finally decided to use them. I first splurged on AA.com buying myself first class... Continue Reading →
