Back home! I
boarded my flight from NYC early this afternoon. It was the perfect
day to leave since it was a most rainy day in New York. But I had a
smooth cab ride and the most perky flight attendant ever on my
flight. He was super cheerful ... Read more >

The first place
I headed this late morning was Rockefeller Center to do the “Top of
the Rock” observation deck, located on floor 76. The sky was very
blue when I woke up this morning, but from up that high there was a
haze all around (or pollution).... Read more >

Last vacation destination before coming
home! I caught a morning flight today to Newark. I completely
overestimated the amount of time that it would take me to get to the
airport. It was a very smooth and beautiful morning in Boston. I
walked ... Read more >

Today was the laziest day of vacation
yet. I headed out pretty late this morning wondering what to do
before 11, so I went inside Trinity Church in Copley Plaza to
continue this unofficial church tour I seem to be doing during
vacation. This ... Read more >

Another beautiful day in Boston. I
started out today in a good mood because everyone I encountered this
morning was just plain old nice. I headed out my hotel room and
housekeeping was servicing the room directly across the hall and
wished me ... Read more >

Greetings from Boston! It is 10:30 at
night and I am witnessing something I have not seen for a while:
darkness. I actually had to turn the lights on in the hotel room. I
also took a hot shower and the water did not smell like anything at
all.... Read more >

So ends my time in Iceland (for now)!
I had a very easygoing day just around town. I had my buffet
breakfast in the morning and then walked around central Reykjavik
taking photos. Today is probably the worst day of weather I've
experienced since ... Read more >

Second to last day in Iceland! I
didn't have any scheduled activities this morning, so I woke up later
than usual and when I sat up I realized I was feeling the pain from
horseback-riding. Combined with still being sore from snorkeling and
glacier-... Read more >

Another travel plan gone awry. I woke
up early this morning to get ready for horseback-riding. I got to
the lobby exactly at 8:45 to meet my bus and waited, and waited, and
waited for an hour. I thought maybe the bus had come and left
without ... Read more >

Longest day in Iceland yet. I kept
hitting the snooze and finally dragged myself out of bed and made it
to the lobby to wait for the bus at 7:00 sharp. The bus didn't come
until 7:13 and once we finished picking everyone else up we headed to
Skaftafell, ... Read more >

Ah it feels great to sleep in. I was very energized all day today. I headed down for the breakfast buffet in the hotel this morning and spent a good 40 minutes getting second and third servings along with orange juice and coffee. Then I headed to ... Read more >

Oh what a long day. I went on the Snaefellnes Peninsula tour with Reykjavik Excursions. It was a lot of sitting on a bus and frequently getting off to walk around, then getting back on the bus to head to another location. It was a lot smaller group ... Read more >

Today was, you guessed it, another beautiful day in Iceland. There was a little bit of rain coming down in the late afternoon but in general there's been nothing but blue skies. I went on the Hvita river today in Drumbo for some whitewater rafting ... Read more >

I took the Golden Circle tour with Reykjavik Excursions today. This is the most popular day trip in all of Iceland so it was a giant bus and I heard some Americans among the crowd. Very loud Americans with very loud kids but they were still better than ... Read more >

Today was another gorgeous day in Iceland. I was expecting it to be a lot colder here, so all my special technical clothing that I brought – cold weather/waterproof/windproof – is slightly overkill at this point, but I'll probably find good use for them ... Read more >

Good evening from Iceland! This is a
milestone because this is the first country I've ever been to (USA,
New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, UK) that was never part of
the mighty British Empire. It's 11:30 p.m. and it is still daylight
outside.... Read more >

Another day of rain! In London! How... typical. It is amazing how depressing the city feels when the weather is not good; most of the tourists seem to vanish. I'm fortunate that I got the days of sunshine that I did because in this weather, knowing ... Read more >

I finally had my big British breakfast this morning: bangers, chips, toast, bacon, egg and beans along with a cup of tea all for 5 pounds. The sign outside the restaurant said “Fish and Chips,” but when I stepped inside it was very much a Middle Eastern ... Read more >
