My Travels Around The World
May 2014
Day 12: Edinburgh to London
I woke up and saw how bright it was outside and was sure I had overslept, but didn't remember the alarm going off. But no, [...]
Day 11: UK Countryside, Alnwick Castle
I was up by 6am this morning and did the writing part of the blog from yesterday. I was unusually tired last night so just [...]
Day 10: Old Town Edinburgh
I got up about 7am, got the 2nd load of laundry in the wash and figured out what we would do today. Dan was up [...]
Day 9: Paris to Edinburgh
We woke up before 6am naturally; the alarm was set for 7 just in case. We were ready to go. We get like that. When [...]
Day 8: Paris, Part 5: Notre Dame, Musee Rodin, Strike!
It's hard to believe this was our 5th day in Paris. It went by Really Fast. Dan and I were saying earlier that Normandy seems [...]
Day 7: Paris, Part 4 – Versailles and The Louvre
We both got good sleep last night - 7 hours for me, 10.5 for Dan. He's still not quite 100% but getting decent sleep helped [...]
Day 6: Paris, Part 3 – Musee d’Orsay
It's 10:40am, Dan is still asleep. He didn't sleep well last night so I'm glad he's getting some rest now. We had plans to leave [...]
Day 5: Paris, Part 2 – In the Neighborhood
I slept a good 7 hours, got up at 8am. I piddled on the internet over coffee and juice for an hour; Dan was still [...]
Day 4: Normandy
We made breakfast out of our market purchases yesterday: bread, cheese, tomatoes, strawberries, and some sausage that's really more like a jerky but easier to [...]
Day 3: Paris, Part 1
We left Cologne early, had a 6:44am train ride to Paris. Dan bought these tickets a long time ago, early enough to get great rates [...]
Day 2: Bonn
Dan slept much better last night, 7 hours; I slept about 6 hours and woke up naturally around 6am. So for now I'd say we're [...]
Day 1: Cologne
I slept for 6.5 hours, waking up about 5:30am local time. That's pretty normal for me in terms of length and time up; although here [...]
Departure: Tuesday – Wednesday
The actual traveling part of traveling is pretty boring. How exciting can 12 hours in a plane be? Well, I guess it could be pretty [...]
Pre-Departure
Many of you know that Dan works for Bayer. As in aspirin, but in the crop science division. If you look at pesticide products in [...]

Home on Saturday, 4/6/2013; Epilogue
We were pretty happy to be going home. Three weeks is a long time, it will be awhile before we do that again. Especially at [...]
