It’s the end of our first full day here in Portugal (or rather, it WAS when I started this post, but now it’s the end of our second full day) and we’re back at the hotel after a nice day out in the sun. It was actually warmer than I anticipated, which made me very […]

Let’s see – it’s not even 6:30 PM on a Friday evening and I’m about ready to pass out from tiredness. Now, you might say that’s just a regular Friday for me, but you’d be wrong (I do go to bed somewhat early, but not THAT early!). In fact, it’s because I’m back in Europe! […]

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 […]

Hey, I’m in London – cool! But you already knew that, didn’t you? But you don’t YET know what I’ve been up to. Okay, okay – you probably guessed that I started my first day back in London with a walk…and you’d be right. But I also squeezed in a repeat visit to a museum […]

It’s now Tuesday, our first full day back in London, after returning here from Swansea yesterday. We had a nice, chill time the rest of yesterday, including getting settled in our hotels, doing a bit of shopping, and having a nice dinner. But more on that later! For now, let’s wrap up the rest of […]

It’s now Monday morning as I start this post (though I will most assuredly not finish it until later, since we have to head to the train station soon), which means our weekend in Wales has come to an end. But how can that be, since I haven’t even shared the details with you yet?? […]

It’s me. Hi. I’m the one back in the UK. 🙂 That’s right – I’m baaaaaack! After making my first post-COVID UK trip in May 2022, I’m delighted to be back again in 2023, putting me back on track for my once-a-year visits to my favorite country. And this time around, I’m traveling with a […]

Now that I’ve finally published the final post from my trip to Italy, I have to keep the momentum going with my next catch-up post. This one will feel pretty familiar as it’s all about somewhere I go regularly. No, not London, but you’re getting warm! This one is about my annual trip to Chicago […]
