I started with such good intentions a week ago. My plan was to blog every evening about the things I did each day in London. I made it through the first two days, and then, utter failure. Here’s what I did wrong: I tried to organize all my photos so I could share them with…
I spent my first morning in London doing a Changing of the Guard tour. And I spent the afternoon at the National Gallery. Here’s a bit of detail about the day.
Yes, I made it to London. Not everything on the journey went as smoothly as it might have, but I’m here.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my most memorable travel experiences. Sometimes it4. comes down to moments that just made me weak in the knees. Sometimes it’s a monument or edifice or place that wowed me. Other times it’s a day like none other. I’ve given this a lot of thought after my last trip,…
I have a page and a category of posts on this website called “Imagined Adventures.” On the page is a list of destinations I am dreaming about: my bucket list. I last updated my bucket list three years ago. And I’ve just done it again. When I looked at the list, I was astonished. Here’s why.
Yes, I know, I just got home. And now I’m getting ready to travel again, this time to London and Norway. I’ll be staying a week in London and then taking a Hurtigruten cruise up and down the west coast of Norway. I have wanted to take a Hurtigruten cruise ever since I first heard…
I’m recently back from a three-month journey. (Actually 89 days.) This was by far the longest trip I’ve ever taken. Friends and family have asked me how it was to be gone for so long. Was I tired of being on the go? Are you happy to be home? Here’s my evaluation of the trip.
I’m home now. I guess I will do a retrospective post on my entire three-month journey, but first I should share a little about my five nights in Madrid.
I’m currently on .a train from Granada to Madrid. I wasn’t supposed to be on a train. I was supposed to be on a plane, and if I were, I’d have arrived by now. But I’m on a train. (I’ll explain why later.) This at least gave me the opportunity to organize my photos from Granada…
I spent three nights in Toledo at the tail end of the third and final OAT tour of this three-month excursion in Iberia and Morocco. All that’s left are Granada (where I am now as I write this) and Madrid. A week from today I go home. Since I’ve allowed two days to pass since I…
Úbeda is not a place that was ever on my radar when I was planning my trip to Spain. If I weren’t on this tour with OAT, I never would have gone to Úbeda. It turns out that it was a highlight of this trip for one special reason: the Sinagoga del Agua. We also visited…
Today is day 76 of my 89-day travel marathon. I’ve been struggling to keep up with the blog, and moreso now because I’m having a hard time thinking of interesting ways to write about each place I visit. So although Ronda, where I spent about a day and a half, was delightful and photogenic, I…
