Don’t blame me for the bad joke, I promised a certain special someone that I’d name this post after this most awful play on words. Anyway, don’t let the bad humor dissuade you from reading on, or at least glancing at the pictures, because our road trip across England and Scotland is a tale worth …
When I got back from the States after Christmas, I committed to myself that I’d spend some time “settling” into London life. When the travel bug bites you, it is quite easy to get carried away. I mean this quite literally; from July to December last year I was in a different country each month …
If you’ve been following the blog for a while you know that I started this ol’ thang because I lived in Paris for a few months before moving to London in 2011. I wrote every once and a while about my impressions of the City of Light and the many people that inhabit it, including …
Last week I decided I was kind of bored. I’d gotten ahead in my work and felt a little stir crazy around the flat. Wondering what to do, I called up an old friend I hadn’t seen in ages…and decided to meet her in her hometown, Hamburg. I booked my ticket through Last Minute (so …
To cheer me up from various and sundry things going wacky, I decided to take a little weekend minibreak. I didn’t want to spend too much money, so I decided to venture closer to home, stopping in Bath after a day trip to Bristol. Despite being grey and cloudy, it was the perfect antidote to …

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 …
