I’m so excited for our trip to London coming up. London was never on my top places to visit in Europe, but after a friend went and raved about it’s awesomeness, I was curious to check it out. I found airfare for all four of us for $390 USD on Easyjet.com. How do you NOT [...]
I’ve been meaning to write a post on our trip to Rome for months now. We went over Thanksgiving weekend and came back in time for Christmas craziness. I’ve had writers block ever since We were in Rome for 3 full days and I think November is a great time to go. Not only was [...]
Budapest is like reading a good book. The buildings, the streets and the monuments each have an epic story waiting to be told to those who visit. Today the city is vibrant and alive with happy energy , but as you walk the streets and learn the history it becomes apparent how different Budapest was [...]
Our trip to Alghero, Italy was incredible. I miss it so much and am already daydreaming about visiting again. What really helped to make it an incredible experience was where we stayed during our visit. Casa Anna is a fully furnished two bedroom apartment in a residential neighborhood of Alghero. The apartment is decorated beautifully [...]
Trier is Germany’s oldest city founded in 16 BC as part of the Holy Roman Empire. As a favored destination of Roman emperors, the city thrived as a center of commerce after the collapse of Rome. Each summer the city pays tribute to it’s rich history by hosting a Roman Festival. What’s makes the event really come alive is [...]
We were rather unpatriotic again this year as we spent the 4th of July in Italy. With Ryanair offering such cheap flights, we couldn’t resist a last minute trip to Sardinia. We flew into Alghero, which is a very charming town on the western coast of the island. For five days we escaped the daily [...]
I have really missed blogging and have been wanting to write about our trip to Croatia for quite a while now. But…. Life happened. A few weeks ago we had a health scare with my little dude that resulted in an ambulance ride to the ER and kept us in the hospital for 3 nights. [...]
After living in Germany for almost 2 years we finally did it. We finally traveled via Ryanair. Just about everyone I know in Germany has flown Ryanair all over Europe and I’ve been hesitant for several reasons. For one I hate flying. For two I’ve heard there are lots of rules and to me rules [...]
German Christmas Market Magical. Cold. Festive. Charming. Quaint. Beautiful. Warm-cider-wine-that-warms-your-soul. Breathtaking. Memorable. Colorful. Twinkley. Delicious. Surreal. Just a few words to describe Christmas in Europe. I’ve been to 4 different markets this year and each one has gotten better and better. It’s a very different experience to be in Europe for Christmas. It feels more [...]
What a beautiful day in Germany today. The sun was out, the air was cool and my town was hosting it’s own Oktoberfest this weekend. I’m assuming the festival in my town is nothing like the well known Drunkfest Oktoberfest in Stuttgart or Munich. Much smaller. Much more calm. And much more family friendly. And [...]
