We looked at the weather report, it looked sunny in Valencia, and so that is where we went. The rain came, too!

London in a Day

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 20 May 2008 | Views [591]

We were told we couldn't do London in a day. But when you have a current exchange rate such as ours, you can't be too choosey so Alys and I decided to live it up in London for just one day. Just one. And it wasn't nearly enough but we made do. It began ... Read more >

I think we are falling in love. With the land and the people and the freedom. The freedom that seemed somewhat awkward at first but now  as a travel pair we are quickly easing into. It hit me today as Alys and I followed Bill, Hazel's father, through ... Read more >


Our Own Personal Irish Snug

USA | Thursday, 1 May 2008 | Views [604]

The flight wasn't bad; the food was the worst bit. Considering we paid $275 for the ticket I was expecting a 5 course meal:) But Alys and I are quickly discovering that we eat what we get because you just never know when you will get to eat again. So ... Read more >


I hadn't seen the ocean in awhile.

USA | Tuesday, 29 Apr 2008 | Views [663]

Jess and I have both answered so many questions about our trip that I think we are both just ready to start the actual journey and have something to finally say about it. The truth is, we don't really know where we are going, how we are getting there, ... Read more >


The April Countdown Begins

USA | Wednesday, 2 Apr 2008 | Views [722] | Comments [5]

Today is April Fools day, the 1st of April which means that we have officially entered the month in which Alys and I will depart for our grand adventure traversing (I know this word is generally used when describing what one might do on a glacier, but ... Read more >
