Ahh, what a good final day in Iceland! If you’ve been to the Blue Lagoon, you know what I’m talking about. The whole reason it exists is to provide a place to relax and, in some cases, even help alleviate some skin issues (it’s all that mineral-rich water, ya know). And I’m sure making money […]
If there’s one thing that traveling can teach you, it’s that last-minute plans are often the best ones. Although we had talked about our plans for yesterday, we didn’t think it was going to work out to book them, so we didn’t until Wednesday afternoon. I’m so glad we did though because yesterday was such […]
Sulfur. Did you know that hot water in Iceland often smells like sulfur (or, as you might better know the smell, rotten eggs)? Yes, it’s true! Don’t panic though – it’s perfectly normal. Hot and cold water in Iceland come from different sources and the hot water is heated by a geothermal process which leaves […]
Okay, my plan was to give you a full blog post today, but the jet lag is winning (or maybe it’s already won?), so I think you’re just going to get a quick update for now, with a full update tomorrow. It’s all about the antici………..pation, right?? As you probably guessed from the title, we […]
The time has finally come! Yes, our Europe 2015 adventure is about to begin. 🙂 We’ve checked in at the airport in Minneapolis and are waiting for our first flight, which will get us to NYC. We have a short layover there and then it’s on to Iceland! Non-direct flights are obviously not the preferred […]
Yes, I’m finally talking about my Vegas trip! I mean, it’s not as if it happened *that* long ago (we were there 7/10-7/13), but still – I need to get back on my blogging game! After all, with a 2.5-week trip to Europe coming up in less than a month, I’m going to be doing […]
My my, I guess I’ve been shirking my blogging duties lately, haven’t I? I’m sure you’ve missed my profound posts, so get ready for some new ones! Keep an eye out for a post by the weekend recapping my recent trip to “beautiful” Las Vegas. Of course, it’s not really beautiful at all (to me), […]
Well, it’s Monday morning and we’re sitting at the airport, so I guess that means we’re headed home! We had a really great time here in NYC, but it will be nice to get back to St. Paul. There’s nothing like a good trip to remind you how much you appreciate what you have at […]
It’s Sunday morning – our last full day in NYC! We had another good day yesterday, exploring more sights around the city and, of course, finding some tasty things to eat. As you do. We started the day by heading over to the High Line, which is just a few blocks from our apartment. I’d […]
Since the next line of that song is “I’m leaving today”, I guess I should have written this post a couple of days ago. Oops! Well, I didn’t, so I’m already in New York City. Surprise! Yes, that’s right – we’re spending Memorial Day weekend in the Big Apple. We got here on Thursday evening […]
