Thanks for visiting!
June 12, 2017Today was the day Brandon has been waiting for our whole trip. The only thing he really wanted to do was go white water rafting. We made it out of the AirBnB by 7:10 and was on the road for the hour and a half ride to Viking River rafting.…- June 11, 2017We got a slow start to our morning after a short night's sleep (so hard to go to bed at a decent hour when it stays light out all the time). We left the AirBnB at 10:00ish and began our 6 hour drive to our next location. With no pre-planned…
- June 10, 2017We slept ok for it never really getting dark, but then again we had been up for 24+ hours with only light napping in-between (we did wake up at 5:00 with no alarm though). I had stayed up until 11:30 writing the blog, but because I was so tired it…
June 9, 2017Today begins another travel adventure. This time we are headed to Iceland with friends from work, Brandon and Kristin. Tom and I have been talking about going to Iceland since we saw it on an episode of "The Bachelor" and then subsequently saw an article on cheap airfare to Iceland.…- January 28, 2017On Thursday we spent the morning relaxing by the pool and walking on the beach. In the afternoon we met up at 2:00 for our catamaran excursion. The first bus didn't have enough seats so we had to wait about a half an hour for them to bring another bus…
January 25, 2017It has been a couple of days since my last post, but up until today nothing too exciting has happened. We have spent our time relaxing by the pool, relaxing by the beach, eating, sleeping, and I went on a 3 mile run. Overall, it has been pretty relaxing. …- January 23, 2017Tom and I were both looking forward to a beach vacation and were thrilled when his sister texted us in August and asked if we wanted to join them in Punta Cana in January. Going to a warm weather beach destination in January is always a good thing and we…
June 2, 2016It's hard to believe that today is our last full day of this vacation. We met in the lobby at 8:10 for our Lantau Island tour. Unfortunately this was not a private guided tour as we were joined with people from several different hotels. The process of picking everybody up…- June 2, 2016The hotel had a good breakfast buffet and at 8:30 we met our tour guide, Patrick, for the morning's tour of Hong Kong City. It didn't take long for us to see that Patrick was very much a comedian and that we were going to have a good day. It…
June 2, 2016This morning the 5 remaining members of our group (Lysette, Sheila, Tom, Leah and I) departed the hotel at 6:30a.m. for our 10:20a.m. flight to Hong Kong. Traffic wasn't an issue and after asking a couple of airport workers where we should go to check-in, we found the proper counter.…
May 30, 2016This morning our meet time wasn't until 9:30, which was nice to sleep in a little bit longer. Our first stop was to Yu Gardens. It was built in 1559 as the private garden of Pan Yunduan, the administration commissioner of Sichuan Province. It was still raining/misting, so we all walked along…- May 29, 2016We had a good nights sleep on the much better beds in Shanghai. The breakfast buffet at this hotel had quite the array of food. In fact, I didn't even have "breakfast" as my meal consisted of dinner items. I had beef tenderloin, chicken, creamy cauliflower and roasted potatoes. There…
