Final Days: Home via NYC
We left London early Saturday morning on May 24. And I mean early: out of the flat by 5:30am. We took a bus then the [...]
Day 16: London, Part 4: Wimbledon; Kensington Palace
The last couple of mornings I used my morning time over coffee before Dan gets up to finish the blog. And that was true this [...]
Day 15: London, Part 3: Classic London 2.0
I was telling Dan this morning that this past Tuesday might be my favorite day of the trip: classic London sites like Westminster Abbey, Parliament/Big [...]
Day 14: London, Part 2: Hampton Court Palace & Gardens
Same morning routine: simple breakfast in, get ready to go. This morning we also stopped by Sainsbury's, a UK grocery chain which we used in [...]
Day 13: London, Part 1: City of Westminster
Ya didn't know it was a city, did ya? It isn't - despite what all the street signs say - that's apparently just how London [...]
Day 12: Edinburgh to London

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 [...]
