My Travels Around The World
August 2016
Day 7, Tue 8/30: Dresden, Germany
[Wow, this internet is so much faster than the one in Prague!...actually the one in Vienna, too...] We set the alarm for 6am, packed up [...]
Day 6, Mon 8/29: Prague Part 2
We came back to the hotel early escaping a thunderstorm, but we were pretty much done with our day anyway. I thought "yay, I can [...]
Day 5, Sun 8/28: Prague, Czech Republic
Dan slept pretty good. I just slept OK - kept waking up - but wasn't concerned about it because I knew it would be a [...]
Day 4, Sat 8/27: Bratislava, Slovakia
We each slept well and headed down to breakfast just after 7am. What started out as a leisurely morning thinking we had lots of time, [...]
Day 3, Fri 8/26: Vienna, Part 3
I slept much better last night, 8 hours total in two shifts but I'll take it. Dan didn't sleep as well but felt rested enough. [...]
Day 2, Thu 8/25: Vienna, Part 2
So much for catching up on sleep. I went to sleep easily just before 2am, but was up wide awake at 4:30am and never went [...]
Day 1, Wed 8/24: Vienna Part 1
We both slept well: Dan 7 hours, me 8. I haven't slept that much in months. Hoping to catch up on sleep on this vacation [...]
Departure: Monday/Tuesday, 8/22-8/24: Sacramento & Raleigh to Vienna

Gratitude for Grief (and how I got there)
It’s been a long time since I’ve written. So much for my intention of at least once a month! I’ve had several inspirations but nothing [...]

Home: Final Thoughts
[Most of this was written during our layover in London on Saturday. It's now 4:40am on Sunday, January 10. I've gotten a total of about [...]
Day 8: Rome, Part 3
It's 1pm Saturday London time. Dan and I are having lunch in the British Airways lounge. He's playing a video game on his iPad that [...]
Day 7: Rome, Part 2
I got up about 6:30am; Dan about an hour later. He woke up with that tell-tale scratch in the back of his throat. Bummer. He felt worse [...]
Day 6: Florence to Rome
We slept until the alarm went off...the first snooze, actually, which was 6:40am. That clocked me in at about 7.5 hours, Dan at about 6. [...]
Day 5: Florence
Dan finally caught up on sleep, getting about 9 hours. I did OK at 6, although they weren't very restful. The cold is moving on [...]
