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!
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!!
Tuesday, October 15- Day 3 This was a pretty relaxing day!! Which was fine by me. My father-in-law had to work, and others had a variety of little errands etc to do. Ivan was in and out with his mom/brother for part of the day and then he, his brother, Asher and Kalej all went… Continue reading A pretty chill day in Toluca
Oh man, this last week felt like a total blur!! I think I touched on this already, but I felt like I crammed about 3 weeks’ worth of stuff into this single week between Nashville and Mexico. Work was also insane. Ivan left for Mexico Thursday at 4 pm, so I was also on my… Continue reading Last few days/ arrival to Mexico!
So a couple other pieces of information have come to light that may also impact the Mexico travel decision (in case you missed it yesterday, spelled out ad nauseum here). Actually, first of all- THANK YOU to everyone who chimed in! So many thoughtful points!! (Special thanks to my lurkers who came out of lurkerville… Continue reading And the plot thickens….
Okay, it's a gloomy, overcast Saturday here in Wisconsin, so let's fly away back to warm and sunny Costa Rica and Hawaii! Costa Rica Hawaii Since these two destinations are kind of like "cousins" (very clear similarities, but also very clear differences!), we naturally found ourselves comparing them. Especially because we went to both places… Continue reading Costa Rica vs. Hawaii
Saturday, June 15- Sunday, June 16 (*until we meet again) Saturday was our last last day, though for all practical purposes I considered Friday our last real day. However! Our flight was not until 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening, so technically we still had a big chunk of the day to enjoy. The evening/ overnight flight… Continue reading Days 16-17: A Hui Hou* Hawaii! Final adventures + home.
GRATEFUL KAE
