Pitlockry to Oban

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 29 Sep 2023 | Views [107]

So today was the day to pick up the car and drive to Oban. I was dreading it and I guess I wasn't wrong. We woke up early and o had a big granola and yogurt breakfast before we loaded up Christine's car and drove to Perth to pick up the car.  ... Read more >


Pitlockry Day 2

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 26 Sep 2023 | Views [100]

Pitlockry Day 1

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 25 Sep 2023 | Views [102]

We woke up early in Leith because we needed to get out of the AirBnB by 10 am and we needed to catch a train. I convinced Jared and my Mom not to take a cab so that we could take the hop on and hop off bus again as our ticket was good for 24 hours and ... Read more >


Edinburgh last full day

UNITED KINGDOM | Sunday, 24 Sep 2023 | Views [94]

We slept and slept - my travel companions were un rousable until 3 pm!!! I was getting annoyed since it was our last full day. Mom didn't want to go anywhere and just stay in the AirBnB - I couldn't tell if Jared cared.   Oh and I should say ... Read more >


Second day Scotland

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 23 Sep 2023 | Views [114]

Well....today was a mixed bag to say the least.    I got up around 7 and waited until 9 or so to try to rouse the others - who were un-rouseable until a tad later. I made some meat-free bacon and toast for my mom and Jared slept through ... Read more >


First Day Scotland

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 22 Sep 2023 | Views [91]

Well...it wasn't really a first day... We flew to Boston where Jared bought snacks and I got clam chowder from Legals. We also order a wheelchair for mom - which - no one told me would be really, really hard to push between terminals. It was a slog.... Read more >

Cabo day 3

MEXICO | Wednesday, 10 Aug 2022 | Views [149]

On our third day in Cabo we were still so full that we didn't go eat. We've just been eating too much on this trip. Instead we relaxed in the hotel and then after the sun went down a little bit at 3 PM we took the car out to go to a beach. As I expected ... Read more >


Cabo day 2

MEXICO | Wednesday, 10 Aug 2022 | Views [138]

On our second day we chose to go to the highest rated breakfast in Cabo at a restaurant called Casa solar. We had great coffee and shakes – I had blackberry mixed with some other berries. I can't quite remember but I do remember it was delicious.... Read more >


Todos Santos Day 2 / Cabo

MEXICO | Monday, 8 Aug 2022 | Views [143]

We woke up early at 8 AM in order to go downstairs to have our breakfast – one of the bees of our B&B.  Jared wants me to mention that they had two dogs – one of the dogs was named Canela which means cinnamon in Spanish. This ... Read more >


Todos Santos

MEXICO | Sunday, 7 Aug 2022 | Views [151]

Well, we didn't get a great nights sleep last night because the construction next-door started at 10 AM and lasted till well after 2 AM. What a bizarre city that allows for construction on a Friday night that late! There was a huge backhoe breaking up ... Read more >


San Jose del Cabo day 3

MEXICO | Saturday, 6 Aug 2022 | Views [113]

One last note from last night: we watched a truly terrible Mexican movie on Netflix. Do you remember its name JARED? We don't – that's how terrible it was. It was called something like blame it on Karma? I don't mind romantic comedies but this ... Read more >


San Jose del Cabo Day 2

MEXICO | Friday, 5 Aug 2022 | Views [119]

I got up at eight to attend a union meeting. JARED was still asleep. Not much more to report on that end. When he woke up a tad later he felt like he had slept off his illness. At around 11 we went to the café on the corner to have some coffee ... Read more >

Kenmare > Ring of Beara > Galway

IRELAND | Saturday, 16 Mar 2019 | Views [285]

Oh my. So much driving.  If we had to do this trip again, we’d drive less. Jared is a trooper and did a great job but it was a TONS of hard, hard driving. We (or I should say I) woke up early and I made breakfast with bread and jam. ... Read more >


Cork to Kenmare

IRELAND | Friday, 15 Mar 2019 | Views [265]

(We woke up in Cork in our lovely downtown apartment and walked across the quay to the museum (need name of museum in Cork). I walked around the museum and really enjoyed it - there was a few more Harry Clarke stainglasses which I enjoyed. Jared and ... Read more >


Dublin to Cork

IRELAND | Wednesday, 13 Mar 2019 | Views [250]

Whew. It’s late and I don’t want to forget anything but today was a day of serious driving. We woke up and packed up our Dublin Co. house. I made coffee for breakfast and some quick oats I had bought at the store the night before (on my evening ... Read more >


Dublin - Day 3

IRELAND | Wednesday, 13 Mar 2019 | Views [228]

We were able to get up much earlier today, in part because Jared had an appointment with an old friend at Microsoft Ireland. He went off to lunch with his friend James while my mom and I ate at a nearby coffee shop (again free WiFi, some nice carrot ... Read more >


Dublin - Day 2

IRELAND | Tuesday, 12 Mar 2019 | Views [238]

We woke up late - I mean very late - because we still hadn’t adjusted to the timezone change.  So, we got a late start.  We drove to Bray, the seaside town about 10 minutes south. As we were a bit lost (and Jared is a new Irish ... Read more >
