First landed in Dublin, we hired a car and drove towards Galway, where we stayed at a Bed & Breakfast. From there, we took the Connemara loop and rode amongst fields and lakes, stopping at Cong and at the Kylemore Abbey (avoid visiting, it isnt worth it). The landscapes were totally breathtaking with bogs and black sheeps everywhere. We were quite lucky with the weather and didnt get much rain dur Read on...
When I was on the Railway in 2014, I was offered a free trip to Kiev, Ukraine. I met several Americans on the first part of my journey. We drank bad vodka, warm beer, and bad food each evening. A lady from Michigan was kind enough to share her car and driver from my hotel in downtown Vladivostok to the train station. After four or five days, we arrived in Irkutsk, the gateway to Lake Baikal. It t Read on...

We drove to Marquette today and are staying at Marquette Touris Read on...

After a really long morning (because we were already packed of course), and half of our safety information on the Celebrity Cruises app, we had an early lunch of a tomato and cheese sandwich before our lovely Jess and little James came to pick us up. We were very lucky to have Jess offer us a lift to Circular Quay, because we found that trains were stopping at Blacktown and then we would have had Read on...
This blog entry is going to indulgent, so please dont hold it against me as it was all novelty for us! Anyway, we did the online as required, 24 hours before our flight and we discovered that we had been upgraded to Business Class, or Club Class as they call it on British Airways. Yippee - time to start gloating to our poor offspring, who are with us on this holiday.
We had tried to go for the Read on...
