A Journey Through Greece…In Hong Kong

We were in Hong Kong for a week and half. This post is not about Hong Kong specifically, rather about the magic of putting yourself out there during travel. Our final days in Hong Kong were the start of the Chinese New Year celebration which began on February 17th. Many businesses are closed for 3-5Continue reading “A Journey Through Greece…In Hong Kong”

Tokyo: The Food!

Now, let’s get to my favorite part of our trip. You know I love food and trying new foods. It’s one of the wonderful things about travel. Sure, it’s tasty and pleasurable, but it’s also exciting to try new flavors and textures that aren’t the norm in your region of the globe. If you readContinue reading “Tokyo: The Food!”

Tokyo Part 2: The Highlights

Well, here we are. Two months after my first Tokyo post and four months after our trip. What can I say? Stupid work. It gets in the way of living our dang lives. But also it funds our trips, so WhatYaGonnaDo? Knowing myself, and not wanting to delay posting about this trip, this post isContinue reading “Tokyo Part 2: The Highlights”

Oh, Tokyo!

Japan is a country we have wanted to visit for a long while. It seemed like a destination we would need at least two weeks (stupid, limited U.S. vacation time), because of the distance and all of its places we wanted to explore! As such, Japan was not a trip Phil and I had talkedContinue reading “Oh, Tokyo!”

Up, up, up: Climbing Mt. Machu Picchu and our final days in Peru

This was going to be the day! We were excited and a little nervous too. We woke up around 8am to have breakfast at the hotel before we made the climb up Machu Picchu Mountain. We ate rather lightly, wanting energy for the climb, but not wanting to be too full. We met our guide,Continue reading “Up, up, up: Climbing Mt. Machu Picchu and our final days in Peru”

Prague Blog Part 3

After our 4+ hour tour the day before, we were all ready for a day that was a bit less structured. After having a light breakfast at the apartment and some clothes shopping on Wenceslas Square, a wide pedestrian street with many stores and restaurants (reminding me of Calle Corrida, the street we lived onContinue reading “Prague Blog Part 3”

Adventures in Germany: Regensburg

After a jam packed day in Munich, we were off to Regensburg. Oh, the fabled Regensburg. Just a few months prior, we had never heard of Regensburg. While traveling through Italy with my mother-in-law, Marie, back in May, she struck up a conversation with a German fellow during a cable car ride in Rapallo. SheContinue reading “Adventures in Germany: Regensburg”

Take the Best and Leave the Rest Then Get Yourself to Budapest!

We landed in Budapest from Frankfurt and easily found the bus heading to the center of town (thank you airport information lady!) which was a much cheper option than a taxi cab or one of the many airport shuttle services. The bus was not crowded so we were able to comfortably sit with our bagsContinue reading “Take the Best and Leave the Rest Then Get Yourself to Budapest!”
