This week marks the halfway point in my pregnancy—just 20 more weeks to go! What a better time, then, to write a post on pregnancy travel tips? Even as I sit here typing, though, I know I may have to do a follow-up article on moving during pregnancy. Yep, moving. Remember back in November when…

2016-The Year of the Baby!
Happy New Year! I hope all of you had wonderful holidays and got to spend plenty of quality time with family and friends. We were blessed to be able to celebrate Christmas in Paris. Christmas Eve, Matt and I attended Midnight Mass at a heavily guarded Notre Dame. Temporary fences provided a wide perimeter around…
Wanderlust in Hamburg: Museums, Churches and Trains
Day two in Hamburg dawned on just as rainy and cold as the first. We woke up early and Matt set off for another day of work. I, meanwhile, didn’t have a real plan, so decided just to wander until I found something interesting to do. My first stop was at the channel near the…
A Medieval Tale: Carcassone
Part of the fun craziness of Matt’s new job is not knowing where we’re headed next. A few weeks ago we got a calendar outlining our assignments after Toulouse, but just yesterday Matt found out things might change again. Unfortunately the change means we might be headed out of Toulouse for about six weeks to stay…
Expat Life: The First Trip Home
We’re back! After a whirlwind trip to the U.S. (including a 26-hour travel day to Tampa from Toulouse), we’re once again on French soil. I have a running list of topics I still need to write about, but as I started typing today I thought the best place to start was our first trip home…
A Sunday Funday in Dublin
Tomorrow we will be heading back to the U.S. for the first time in four months. We are traveling to Florida for one of my cousins’ weddings and are looking forward to spending time with our family and friends. It’ll be strange to be back in our home country; speaking in English, paying in dollars…
Moher Adventures in Ireland
If I close my eyes, I can almost feel the chilly breeze whipping my hair and smell the salty ocean breeze mixing with wind-blown grass. Memories taking me back to the day we stood on sheer cliffs and stared out at the wide-open expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Our fourth day in Ireland was slated…
Kisses and Castles–The Irish Adventure Continues
The power of a kiss is undeniable. Take that kiss, toss in a mystical stone and you may soon discover the “gift of gab.” At least that’s what the legend of the Blarney Stone says. Who am I to argue? There is a stone there, that whoever kisses, Oh! he never misses to grow eloquent….
Memories of Marseille
This weekend we celebrated an anniversary of sorts—two years since our first trip to Europe together. We took a European cruise in 2013 and that cemented, not only our love of world travel, but our love of seeing the world together. We departed out of Barcelona that trip, but our first port was Marseille, France….
