I packed for Copenhagen yesterday!! We don't leave until Wednesday night. 🤣 But I despise packing and am really quite bad at it, so lately I have been trying to pack EARLY to avoid last minute panicking. I have room to spare in both my carryon and my backpack (which is good, because not everything… Continue reading Getting ready + travel worries
I saw a random reel yesterday on Instagram (some sort of influencer/ doctor person?) about a medical incident that occurred on her recent flight. It got me reminiscing, because I have had to assist in a medical situation THREE times while traveling! #1: The first one occurred years ago now, on a flight to Mexico.… Continue reading Medical emergencies on planes
As you know, Ethan's done with school, and Asher is off today and Monday for the long Memorial Day weekend. Ivan and I both work today, but have Monday off. YAY!!! We, quite gloriously, have no big plans, though I always like to use this "bonus holiday" weekend for part "getting things done" and part… Continue reading Upcoming long weekend, travel planning and Whole 30 Day 4
Continuing on, since I already sorted these pics and am in a Utah state of mind... Sunday, August 11, 2019 I lied- I just realized we actually had 4 nights in Moab, not 3, giving us 3 full days there. But like Emily commented on my last post, I still totally feel like we really… Continue reading Colorado/Utah Trip Days 4-6: Moab!
I have a window of time to myself this Mother's Day morning, it's a beautiful day, I'm in the sunroom, the windows are open, the sun is shining, and I thought to myself, "It's my 'special day'. What's something I can do for a little while to fill my own cup?" (before we start on… Continue reading Colorado/Utah Trip Days 1-3: Driving, Vail + Glenwood Springs
Thursday, March 27 Thursday! Our last full day in London. 😢 This was a shorter trip than many of our recent trips, but it felt like a good amount of time overall. Of course, I could always use more time... there were certainly things we didn't get to (I mean, I think you could spend… Continue reading Days 8 + 9: St. Paul’s Cathedral, British Museum, and The End!
Wednesday, March 26 Day 7 already! This was a great day. This was a more structured day, because we had Warner Brother Studios: The Making of Harry Potter tickets for 4:00 p.m., and the studio is quite far away. I had strategically planned to do the Natural History Museum in the morning, because our apartment… Continue reading Day 7 in London: Natural History Museum + Harry Potter Studios!
Tuesday, March 25 *Real time update! We're home! We got home LATE last night (Friday night... well, actually early Saturday morning by the time all was said and done). It was a long trip: we left the apartment at 8 am London time --> tube to Heathrow --> breakfast -> 12 pm flight (7.5 hours)… Continue reading Day 6 in London: Richmond! And The Grenadier.
Monday, March 24 Westminster Abbey On Monday we had timed tickets for Westminster Abbey for 10:00, so it was a “slightly” earlier morning to get everyone up and ready and out the door. (In this season not necessarily essential to pre-book, but I saw conflicting reports and as we had other firm evening plans, I… Continue reading Day 5 in London: Westminster Abbey, bridge pics, graffiti tunnel, Abbey Road and… football!
Sunday, March 23 The “plan” for the day included 3 big rocks- Buckingham Palace at 11:00 (1-2 hours total), Churchill War Rooms in the afternoon (~2 hours), and then the Jack the Ripper walking tour at 7 pm (2 hours). Adding on travel time and meals and wandering time, I knew this would be a… Continue reading Day 4 in London: Buckingham Palace, Churchill War Rooms and Jack the Ripper…
