We decided to spend the day outside of London and away from the crowds, so we headed to Hampton and visited the Palace and the Gardens. The trip took just over an hour from London, via tube and bus, and we arrived shortly before noon. When we arrived we toured a part of this mammoth Palace Read More »
Thursday, August 31, 2006 We arrived Thursday morning about 8 AM after an 8 hour flight from Dallas. That would be midnight Wednesday on California time. The flight was mostly smooth and went by quite quickly. Even though we were jet lagged, we pushed on and found a train from Gatwick airport to Victoria Station Read More »
November 1, 2006 Admittedly, these blog entries would be much better had I actually written them anytime near the dates about which I am writing, but I will have to depend on my memory and the aid of pictures to help these little stories along. I was really impressed by seeing the subway drive out Read More »
We checked out of our hotel in Paris earlyish and made our way to the airport. As we were checking in we ran into a Canadian couple from Invermere who were traveling around Europe on their honeymoon. We started chatting with them and managed to keep talking to them until we arrived in central London. Of Read More »
July 25th, 2006. Departure Day. As I packed my bag for the airpor in Montréal, I couldn’t believe it was finally time to go. I’d been at a point where I had 99% of things planned, but needed one last confirmation on funds before leaving. Talk about last minute! Anyway, I was a nervous wreck, Read More »

I had a REALLY good time dancing this time around at Casablanca–mainly because I had someone to dance with (Ryan), and because the music was better and the company I was keeping was FAR better.

There I was, with a secret “I *heart* NY” tattoo on my left biceps and an “L.A. 4-EVA” Read More »
Nath and I decided to visit Dubai to get away from London’s freezing tempatures over Christmas.. and we had an awsome time! It was so great to be back in t-shirts and shorts. We spent a few of the mornings lazing about the hotel pool, soaking up the sun and water! We visited Jumeriah beach Read More »
Yes, Belém is much hotter and much more humid than Manaus! Even though it´s closer to the coast, which provides great breezes, it´s much closer to the equator making the heat and humidity unbearable (and we were there during the “not summer” season). In many places in Brazil the weather is either hot or very Read More »
