I’m in Budapest right now, grappling with my emotions. Wait…Let me back up a few days. In my previous post, I mentioned that I was going on a work trip, but I was going to sneak some fun into it as well. I started in London, which despite the rainy, cold weather, I still freaking love. This time I stayed… Read more »
I’m in Miami right now, staying at my college roommate’s house. We had a great weekend boating up to Ft. Lauderdale and back on the Intercoastal. I had lots of sunscreen, swim shirts, long bathing suit coverups, a hat, and massively oversized sunglasses on for the vast majority of the time on the water. Which was fine with me as… Read more »
I’m back in Austin. Actually, I got home late Monday night but as soon as I got up on Tuesday morning, I’ve been running with work, a follow-up visit with the doctor, and a suddenly active social life… Since I like to relive my travels, y’all are going to have to listen to me recount my week in London before… Read more »
I realized that I never followed up from my previous paranoid post. I did go to the doctor, who looked at the growing red thing on my leg and wasn’t sure exactly what it was; but she thought it might be some kind of dermatitis, or worst case, maybe basal cell carcinoma. She gave me a prescription for a steroid… Read more »
So, there’s got to be readers of this blog that cringe when I start talking about travel. If you’re one of those people who think to yourself “Dear God woman, just talk about cancer, and scars, and maybe some science every once in awhile”, feel free to skip this post. The rest of you, you with me still? Good… I… Read more »
My final day in London dawned somewhat sunny, which was a surprise to me since the Weather.com app claimed it was going to be full-on raining all day (I also learned on this trip that the app is less than reliable in England). I scrambled out of bed so I wouldn’t waste a minute more of the day. I jumped… Read more »
I woke up the next morning after “the best concert ever” experience a little later than anticipated. The sun streaming through my window finally motivated me to get up and get going while the nice weather lasted. Moving through the Tube station like an old hand, I hopped on the train I needed to take me towards the Thames, Tower… Read more »
I woke up the next morning and believe it or not, was happy to see the steady rain. It sounds ridiculous, right? But if I was planning on spending the entire day in a museum, I was glad not to have beautiful weather outside. My hotel was selected in part because of its proximity to the British Museum, just over… Read more »
I checked into my hotel in London (Point A Kings Cross for those of you just joining) and was delighted to be assigned not only a room on one of the top floors (that had considerably fewer rooms than the lower floors held, meaning it would be quieter) but that I had also been upgraded to a room with a… Read more »
I woke up in Bristol after a day of exploring the nooks and crannies of that town super excited to start the day. I was relieved to see that it wasn’t pouring rain for the moment as I intended to walk the mile and a half to the bus stop. I jumped in the shower, got repacked, checked out of the… Read more »
