This post is part of a series called Lithuania 2022 Well, we made it. A dash across Schipol and a helpful shortcut through immigration meant we made our ~40 minute connection with time to spare. And easy two hours from Amsterdam to Vilnius and we arrived at the very quaint Soviet-era Vilnius airport. We met…

This post is part of a series called Mexico City 2022 After all our tacos yesterday, we really felt like today was a day to focus on salads and personal fitness. But then we checked the news and decided “screw it, more tacos.” After lounging around a bit (we were out until almost midnight after…

View MoreThe “COVID years” have been tough for folks who love to travel. For a big chunk of 2020, I didn’t even want to think about travel – it made me too sad. I’m eager to get back out in the world, and I want to encourage others to do the same. I’m excited to announce…

This post is part of a series called Europe 2021 I started the morning with a gorgeous breakfast at the hotel. In addition to the normal assortment of amazing pastries, they had (very) fresh honey, cheese, meats and all sorts of other delicious items. Then I went for a quick walk around Mulhouse, just to…

This post is part of a series called Europe 2021 Today dawned bright and sunny. I knew it was going to be a good day when I went to get breakfast at the bar downstairs (arranged by the B&B). On the wall, they had a photo of a Morgan parked in front of the bar!…

This post is part of a series called Europe 2021 Start the clock! My flight landed a little ahead of schedule, and clearing Italian immigration was a breeze. My rental car was all set for me.

This post is part of a series called Europe 2021 When we got married, seven years ago today (technically), Kat and I exchanged vows. Part of her vows read “I understand that sometimes you will do stupid things, simply because it’s fun to do stupid things.” The gipper said “trust, but verify”, so I’m currently…
