First and foremost – there WILL be pictures of Melbourne posted on here soon – yours truly currently doesn’t have a way of getting her pictures from the camera to the computer (ah, the good old days when this wasn’t even a concern!). The run down on how that little bit happened: *Contemplating […]
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk
Greetings from the future. We are safely landed, through customs, through baggage claim, through second inspection line, and at our lovely hotel in Melbourne. The weather is a little drizzly and brisk. And we are looking quite sprightly considering the amount of time it’s been since our last proper shower. Our flights over […]
Time Travel
Well, here we are again. On the brink of a new adventure to different lands…with a twist. One way tickets, checked bags, and flying in the wrong direction. It’s hard to believe that a mere two and a half weeks ago we received word that we were to be heading to Melbourne…how much […]

In Bruges…
We are frantically trying to catch you up to our actual current location: Bruges (or Brugge) Belgium. It has been quite odd adding the posts to our blog that were written day of, but not posted until later. Oh well, just start from the bottom and work your way up if you want it to […]
Markets, Museums and the Need for More Time
Final day in Amsterdam dawned as expected: we woke up late, but not too late, and made it to the Anne Frank house before the line had formed. This was an extremely powerful and moving experience to actually be IN the building that housed Anne, her family and four other people in the hopes to […]
