Wednesday, we woke up and had to pack up to head to the Girona train station. We had to take an AVE train back to Barcelona Sants before picking up our next train to head south to Valencia. The walk back to the train station went much quicker since we knew where we were going. The train was again fast,… Read more »
As noted in my previous post, my trip to Florida to follow Adam Ant around on his Florida gigs hit a big snag named Irma. On Wednesday, after I received the evacuation notice from my hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, I decided to opt out of the fourth show in Jacksonville and try to get home earlier than Monday evening, figuring… Read more »
I woke up in my London hotel, sad I was leaving my new favorite city in the world, but looking forward to the next phase of my U.K. adventure. Despite re-rolling all of my clothes, I could not get my suitcase to zip shut without having to expand it. This still mystifies me because I actually threw away an article… 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 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 »
After landing at Heathrow and getting my passport stamped, I followed the signage to find the Central Bus Station. I had pre-booked a bus ticket from Heathrow to Bristol, giving myself plenty of time (too much as it turned out) to get off the plane, wander over to the bus station, and catch my bus. I loitered in the bus… Read more »
I’m back from my gallivanting around the United Kingdom. As mentioned in the previous post, a friend and I decided to do a Scottish adventure. And in the midst of planning how to get there, I decided that I really needed to finally experience London. Long story short, I ended up booking a frequent-flyer award ticket from my hometown of… Read more »
Sorry I’ve been so quiet on the blog the last month or so. As you might remember, I mentioned that I was going on a trip with my husband for our anniversary. This trip was more than just a “get out-of-town to celebrate” kind of thing. You see, I have loved the idea of seeing the world ever since I… Read more »
So, after a glorious week off, I’m back to reality. It’s freezing here in Austin and I’m not exaggerating. It’s really freezing here, talk of potential icing – which makes being back from 80 and sunny weather a bit harder to take. I had a very relaxing time in Mexico. Surprisingly, I got no resistance to bringing anything less than… Read more »
Happy Valentine’s Day to those of you who celebrate. I’m in a weird place this year with the whole holiday. I guess it’s a good thing that we’re going to drive to San Antonio for a birthday party for a little boy who we didn’t think would make it to 3. He’s an adorable little guy who’s been so sick… Read more »
