Okay, I’m not leaving until tomorrow, but today was my last real day here and I have to wake up early enough tomorrow that it will still be today for all my friends back home, so close enough! As I’m sure you’ve heard me say (or seen me write – you know what I mean!) […]

That title may be a bit of a misnomer – I wasn’t THAT lazy today! However, I did have a nice, relaxed day where I didn’t do a heck of a lot. And that’s okay. 🙂 So, first full day in London on this trip. To start the day, I was very happy to not […]

What a whirlwind few days! It’s now Monday evening (okay, it’s midnight, so it’s technically Tuesday morning) and since my last post, I’ve gone to Brighton, met up with fabulous friends, enjoyed Timey Wimey 7, and made it back to London, so it’s been a busy few days! Totally worth it, though I must say […]

I did it! Yes, I was once again able to stay awake the whole day after arriving in London (or any international city, really) despite going on basically no sleep (other than a little dozing on the plane). I think I did an exceptional job of it this time as my London buzz only lulled […]

Wait, I’m in London?    Yep, I guess I am! I told you I would be traveling soon, didn’t I?? I just landed here this morning for a relatively short trip (six days) and I couldn’t be happier! Despite no sleep on the flight (pretty standard for me), the excitement of being in my favorite […]

Let’s see now – it’s November 15th. We returned from our trip on September 19th. I guess I’m a little late in publishing this final blog! It’s amazing how you think “Oh, I’ll write that blog as soon as I get home!” and then that just never happens. Still, if you’re reading this, you’ve stuck […]

So much for getting my first Sweden post done yesterday! What can I say? Vacation gets in the way. 🙂 We didn’t do a heck of a whole lot yesterday though, but here’s a quick recap. We caught our last SAS flight from Helsinki to Stockholm yesterday and it was a quick one – only […]

Farewell, Finland! I’m starting this post as we’re getting everything together to leave our apartment in Finland to fly on to our final destination for this trip – Stockholm, Sweden. I know I won’t finish before we leave, but I just have to tell you about yesterday’s sidestep from Finland to Estonia so we could […]

We finally got out to see Helsinki today! Well, I say finally – it’s not like we’ve been here that long, but since we got here on Sunday and we spent yesterday in Porvoo, it feels like we’re a little behind in exploring the city we’re staying in. Not anymore though! So what did we […]

I’m back! Hopefully you didn’t miss me TOO much yesterday. 🙂 Don’t worry – I wasn’t missing because my cold came back (thankfully!), but there wasn’t much to write about as it was another transit day as we moved from Copenhagen to Helsinki. As with pretty much every European flight, things went smoothly, though I […]
