At some point during the last two years London Tower was invaded by steel wool animals. Baboons, polar bears, lions and an elephant have all appeared at various spots throughout the Tower grounds. The Monkeys are Taking Over Apparently, the Tower was used as a menagerie/holding cell/terrible place to live-and-die for all sorts of exotic […]
Thursday is Friday and Three equals Four
Otherwise known as travel mishaps. And in the Rubin household you can be guaranteed at least one per trip. From bird poop, to rainy beaches, to getting stuck on a narrow street mid three-point-turn. If it’s belly laugh inducing (and at the time, anxiety provoking) chancing are it’s happened to us. Little did I know […]
Go Ahead And Jump
Ok, now my song-lyrics-as-post-titles has officially maxed out. On CNN there is a wonderful little travel section of their website where you find little lists and articles about everything dealing with travel.
