I didn’t forget that I promised you the best of food and flamenco when I wrote about my adventures in Sevilla a few days ago. As I mentioned, all I wanted from a Spanish trip was good food, good wine and a little bit o’ sunshine. The latter being fulfilled, I was intent on using …
I’ve found a new favorite place in the world. Or, rather, I’ve found a trend that is rather disturbing. Being a child of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the US, with family primarily from New England and points north, I have always assumed that cold and wet is in my blood. Sadly, it would seem that …
OK- I give in. Since seeing all my pictures of Spain on Instagram I’ve been harassed non-stop about when I’m going to post about the ten days I spent in Spain. I wanted to wait until the weather here in London got REALLY super sad so I could relive the entire trip and bring a …
No trip to Iceland would be complete without doing the Golden Circle, a route through the Icelandic countryside and, incidentally, some of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. We took our Sad Car from our little cabin in the lava fields and drove about 100km in total through Thingvellir National Park to a …
Our first full day at Fljotstunga Traveller’s Farm, we enjoyed a few of the many delights that the farm and surrounding area offered. For such a remote place (I literally think I was the farthest away from a population of over 500,000 that I have ever been in my life- New Mexico and other remote …
Our second full day in Iceland was dominated by a trip to the Blue Lagoon, a geothermally-heated collection of pools about 45 minutes south of Reykjavik. The warmth was welcome since we were thrown into winter temps after the end of summer in the USA! Located in the middle of a lava field, it was …
If you’re keeping up with me on Instagram or Facebook, you have noticed I’ve spent the past week in Iceland. Icelandair run a great promotion where you can layover in Iceland on any transatlantic flight, so I took full advantage by booking a week in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall on the way to Jokulsarlon I’m …
Last week Han and I made a day trip (which has proven to be most probably my last this time ’round in Mother England, sadness) to Cambridge. Not only did I see Sharon Horgan, which induced me to buy my flight home because I’ve seen the woman I moved here to see and thus my …
Jodie from Desperate Scousewives wasn’t kidding when she said that Liverpool is another world. Clearly I did not fit in with the local girls. Strawberry Field Women with fake eyelashes, 10 pounds of makeup and the shortest, sparkliest dresses and highest heels are the norm- whether it is 11 AM or 11 PM. The accent …
Praia de Falesia, Albufeira I am now so tan that you’ll only be able to see my teeth and the whites of my eyes in a dark room. In the words of Space Jam’s athletes, BOOM shaklaka. Five days and four nights of glorious sunshine (which, I can’t believe I’m saying this, has become quite …
