Saturday, March 23 Saturday’s plan was mostly a day trip to Windsor. We ended up staying up too late Friday night and probably still had some jet lag effects, so we were just slow and lazy Saturday morning. Which was actually fine, since the main attraction in Windsor is the Windsor Castle, and it doesn’t… Continue reading Day 3! Hyde Park + Windsor day trip
Friday, March 21 Our first full day was great!! We were a bit slow-moving in the morning, which I had expected. I hadn’t booked any timed tickets or anything, but was pretty firmly set that we’d do Tower of London on Friday. It’s a lengthy activity that requires multiple hours or a better part of… Continue reading Day 2! Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Chinatown and more
We’re here!! We made it. It was not the smoothest of journeys, but not bad really, either, and it certainly could be worse. (See news today of a fire at a power substation closing London Heathrow airport for the entire day today, at least! 😳😳 Thank GOD we weren’t flying in today instead!) We left… Continue reading Not the smoothest start but then great first day in London!
Yahoo, trip day is here! Well, tonight. Our flight is at 9:15 p.m. Originally it was supposed to be a 10:30 p.m. flight, but they changed it to 9:15 a couple months ago. Which is fine overall- it means we'll get in earlier, if all goes well. But I had kind of chosen the extra… Continue reading It’s go time!
I did something a little crazy Monday night, and that is: I packed for London! Even though we don't leave for 2 weeks. If you've been around a while, you'll know packing is sort of my nemesis. We just don't get along. lol. I am too indecisive, and unlike some people I know who are… Continue reading What I’m Packing for London in March
I sat here this morning skimming over my annual 2025 goals list, trying to earmark a few things I want to prioritize in February. We're already 1/12th of the way through the year, so I want to be mindful to not keep saying "later, later". Anyway, one of my annual goals is to "Write 5… Continue reading San Francisco- April 2008
Good news! This past weekend I finally sat down and did a marathon London planning session! On the negative flip side, it ended up completely dominating literally my entire day and into the evening (and I ended up ignoring other things I needed to do). Oh well, I guess. I mean, I needed to find… Continue reading London planning- officially underway
Work has been SO BUSY lately that I have been more excited than usual when the weekends roll around. I mean, things are going well at work overall and much of the work is very interesting and engaging, but it's just very go-go-go all day long. And some days seem to stretch later than I… Continue reading Weekend and a little work mystery
The holiday season is flying by...December 6th already today! Not to once again defend my choice to "start early" in November, but I already feel like it just goes SO FAST. So, starting early feels like the only way I get a sufficient amount of Christmas coziness in my life. 🙂 1- In person work… Continue reading Friday 5: work, travel, dogs, laughs
Day 4: Wednesday, October 16th Picking back up... Wednesday morning I'm not really sure what we did. I think we were just mostly around the house- maybe Ivan and his brother ran a couple errands? Anyway, nothing too exciting happened in the a.m. In the afternoon, we (just me, Ivan, Ethan, Asher, Kaly and Ivan's… Continue reading Wednesday-Thursday: Metepec, and my birthday in Mexico!!
GRATEFUL KAE
