France is quite a large country and Southern France has a ton of areas to explore. We chose to take a day trip to Gordes and Bonnieux and we were not disappointed! Somehow I was appointed to be the driver along this beautiful countryside. I think living in LA gave me the one up on…

Farewell London and hello France
I would count today as mostly a travel day. It was my first adventure on Easyjet and I am sure not my last. I would compare them to the service of Southwest with the “add-on” options of Spirit. You pay to print your boarding pass at the airport, receive an assigned seat, check your luggage,…
Just a normal day in London
The weather has been perfection, until today. A lazy Sunday to end my time in London.
A day in the English countryside
Today was a day journey to the lovely countryside of England. Once again, we were able to visit some friends who showed us all around their area. We had a beautiful drive and passed some grape seed that I had to stop and take a picture of! I think the picture looks perfect! We started…
A French culinary tour through London…sort of
We have been setting out to accomplish so much everyday and falling quite short. Today we set out to have lunch, walk around the Saatchi Gallery and have dinner. And I must say, we accomplished it all! We thought we were experts at the train by now, but we still managed to get on the…
Matisse and more!
It seems that we can not make it out of the house at a reasonable time and somehow we had another late start. But I guess that is why we chose to have 6 days in London. It was another gorgeous day and I felt that I needed to take a token selfie to capture…
A lovely day in London
Today started out like any other day that starts at 2:00pm! Perhaps the jetlag actually hit me even though I was insisting I was fine. Nothing says adventure like taking the train to the bus to a taxi to get somewhere and then the tube to the train to get back! But it was worth…
My jump across the pond
Flying on a long flight is always an interesting experience in coach, and something I do VERY often! Flying on a long flight in business class, made for my little jaunt across the pond, quite manageable. I flew from Dallas to London on Lufthansa and was pleasantly surprised with the service and the caliber of…
And we are off!
Most people who start off a backpacking tour start with a cheap flight and some pretty crappy accommodations. I am lucky enough to start off this trip with my parents with a business class seat and luxurious accommodations. In order to get the flight we wanted, we had to fly to Dallas for a night…
Let the journey begin!
After two years of thinking about actually leaving and 18 months of pseudo saving, I am finally leaving on my world tour. My goal is to be gone for a year, but we will see where life takes me and what I end up doing. Needless to say, my home is now on my back…
