Month: October 2023

It’s not often that rain/weather stuff totally waylays us on a trip, but the weather we experienced after getting to Porto sure tried its damndest to make that happen. Ugh! The day started normally enough, with us waking up earlier than either of us wanted to after having been out a bit late having drinks […]

I’m writing (well, starting at least) this post from our hotel in Porto, where it has been VERY rainy and VERY windy (though the wind got better this evening, thankfully), so we’re having a pretty chill night. So what better time than now to start my blog post for our last full day in Lisbon? […]

Remember how the title of my last post had the word “sunny” in it? Apparently the universe needed to make up for that sunny weather in a BIG way with the start of Sunday’s day trip to Sintra and Cascais.

To put the final, final bow on my latest UK trip, let’s talk about getting home. Yes, I know I’ve been home for over a week, so (spoiler alert) I obviously made it back safely, but I feel like I need that closure in my blog before opening the chapter on my next trip. Which, […]

Well, here we are – the last full day of this trip. I mean, as you know, the trip is actually already over and I’ve been home for a week. But travel back with me, if you will, to last week when I still had one more full day in London to enjoy. 🙂 WE […]

How have I been back home for nearly a week now?! It’s never fair how quickly vacations fly by, is it? Even though I’ve been back in the swing of things at home, I didn’t want to skip writing about my last couple of days in London, so buckle up! Or just read attentively. Whatever […]
