  • Zip Lining!!!

    January 30, 2013
    What an adventure we had today!!!  This morning we headed out around 7:30a.m. for a horseback ride, zip lining, and volcanic mud bath tour.  It was about another hour drive to our destination.  First up, a horseback ride up the mountain to get to the zip lines.  I think this…
  • Gone Fishing!

    January 29, 2013
    Our day started early with a 6:00a.m. show time at the beach to be picked up for our fishing trip.  It was cool and calm on the waters.  The small boat held Tom Sr, Pete's Dad Terry, Tom and I, and our two fishing guides.  The guides didn't speak a…
  • River Cruise

    January 28, 2013
    We had quite the adventure today. I started my morning by going for a run . . . and even though it was only 1 mile, boy can I feel it in my legs. It is super hilly here!! After breakfast we began the hunt for the tour guide we…
  • Costa Rica!!!

    January 27, 2013
    Hola!! We are now blogging from Costa Rica!!! Yesterday we got up at 3:00a.m. to begin our travels. Our flight was supposed to leave at 6:00a.m., but after a delay for deicing, a delay for hydraulics problem, a delay by the airport to clear the runway of a dusting of…
  • When In Rome . . .

    October 25, 2010
    Today was our last full day in Rome and the last day of the European vacation. What to do, what to do. We decided that we didn't want to rush around everywhere so we would just take our time and see what we could see. We started by heading up…
  • The Vatican & St. Peter’s Basilica

    October 24, 2010
    Yesterday I felt a little underwhelmed by the Colosseum. Today I was impressed with St. Peter's Basilica. We began the day with another free walking tour that began at the McDonald's by the Spanish Steps. At least this time we knew exactly where we were going. :) This tour took…
  • Roaming Rome

    October 23, 2010
    Today we spent roaming Rome. We started out the day by roaming past the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and Navona Square on our way to the Colosseum. At the Colosseum we used our Roma Pass and skipped right to the front of the line and got right in. Here we…
  • Mountains! There Were Mountains!

    October 21, 2010
    So we may not have seen the snow capped mountains we were hoping to see in Zurich, but on the train ride from Zurich to Milan we saw lots of them. That train ride, by far, has been the most scenic ride of my life. I think it was more…
  • What To Do In Zurich?

    October 21, 2010
    I can't lie. We came to Zurich without really knowing anything about the city or what things we should do here. I think we were just both hoping to see a picturesque view of some mountains. When we got up the first thing I did was peer put the windows…
  • Travel Day To Zurich

    October 19, 2010
    Today we travelled to Zurich and most of the day has been spent on the train. The train leaving Prague was scheduled to leave at 9:04a.m., so we got to the train station at 8:30 to give us plenty of time to find the platform and not be rushed. The…
  • Laundry & Communism

    October 18, 2010
    Today was another laundry day. We had wanted to do it when we first arrived in Prague, but the laundromats are closed on the weekends. So first thing this morning we hauled our dirty clothes to the laundromat expecting to be there for a couple of hours. We were pleasantly…
  • Mission Impossible

    October 17, 2010
    Had a great night's sleep last night and began today with breakfast in our room. Breakfast is included with the price of the room, and since the hotel does not currently have a dining room, they bring breakfast to you. Breakfast consisted of bread, cheese, ham, yogurt, an apple, and…
