A Weekend In Gibraltar

I gave a hint to where we spent our weekend here and if you guessed Gibraltar then you were right! We wanted to get away for the weekend and go to a plane neither of us have been to so we decided on Gibraltar.  Our hotel was in La Linea, Spain but it was a 10 [...]

Florence, Italy: 6 Years Later – Day 3 in Pisa

In case you missed it: Day 1 Day 2 We flew out of Pisa airport so we hopped on a train from Santa Maria Novella to Pisa for the day so we could explore the city. Here’s a video of the view from the train going from Florence to Pisa. It was raining in Pisa for the [...]

Florence, Italy: 6 Years Later

I have been putting off this post because there is so much to say I’m not sure how to say it all and not bore my readers. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that this weekend will have to be broken up into several posts.  Hope you enjoy them! I studied abroad in Florence [...]

55cm x 40cm x 20cm (22in x 16in x 8in)

Those dimensions represent the strict carryon baggage allowance rules for Ryanair. I don’t remember these rules 5 years ago when I flew them but I know they are strict about them now so I had a little anxiety finding a bag and making sure it wasn’t bigger than the allotted size.

While reading about cabin baggage allowance I came upon this image and it reminded me of IKEA. CLICK TO MAKE BIGGER Did they really have to illustrate what the bag should look like and the weight of each?

A & J’s Big Adventure – Part 4/Plan B

Plan B was to book a flight to NY from Paris and spend a couple of days there as well.  The next flight out was on Wednesday so we had 2 days in Paris! Paris doesn’t need words….only photos. On Wednesday morning we successfully flew from Paris to New York and enjoyed our time with [...]

My First Trip Back To NY (HOME)!

We went back to NY for a friends wedding and it was a perfect weekend and perfect timing.  It was just about 2 months since I’d been back so this trip was more than necessary.  It was the most tiring weekend ever because we were always on the go but worth every second. Lots of [...]

Vit-A-Mins

That is how they say vitamins here.  Strange…I know.  Jon and I have been ODing on the UK Version of Airborne this past week because of the flying and traveling we have been doing.  You aren’t supposed to have more than 1 a day but I’ve averaged about 3 a day.  Oops. I’d also like [...]
