Last day in London

May 25, 2008 - Sunday: London
We accidentally slept in until 1:30!  I guess we are both still recovering from jet lag.  We didn’t have much planned for the day so it’s not that big of a deal but it’s our last day in London and I still wanted to squeeze in as much as possible.  [...]


A Palace, a Tower and a glass of wine

May 24, 2008 - Saturday : London
Today was much more laid back compared to yesterday.  We slept in a little, had some breakfast at our hotel and then walked to Buckingham Palace.  The changing of the guard happened at 11:20 and even though we got there at 11:00 it was already crazy.  There were people [...]


Arriving in London!

May 23, 2008 - Friday : London

Big Ben

London is amazing!  After we landed at Heathrow Airport at about 3:00pm local time, we got our packs from baggage, went through customs and headed to our hotel.  We bought a 7-day subway card and followed the signs for Victoria Station.  Our hotel, Elizabeth House, in in Westminster [...]


Back to the beginning

I’ve been flipping through the journal that I kept while we were in Europe and I thought that maybe I should post some of the entries here. I know we didn’t do as many posts as we had intended but I still have a desire for you to hear about our adventures. It [...]


Catching up with Friends in Kauai

Next week Nate and I are heading to Hawaii.  We rented a house with some of Nate’s college roommates and their wives/fiances on the island of Kauai.  It’s going to be eight days of sunshine, beaches, hiking, boating, luaus and pure bliss.  Now some of you might be wondering why Hawaii would be so great [...]


Perhaps We Should Change The Name

So, after that long and almost depressing last post about having to move back to San Diego from France, we have finally started settling into a new location.  We’re in downtown San Diego!
The past month and a half we were living with Nate’s business partner and his wife in Pacific Beach.  It was a nice [...]


Lessons Learned in France : Priceless

I have been dreading writing this post. I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to say for the past 8 days and I’m still no closer to knowing how to put my thoughts into words. So I’m just going to come out and say it: Nate and I have decided to move [...]


Travel Photos, Finally

Finally. We’ve had enough time to do a few updates and, as you can tell, we’re finally getting a few things updated on the site. First thing: the photos. It’s about time.
Also, I (Nate) finally got off my butt and fixed the map on the right too. Fixing that not [...]


The Fine Cuisine of Aurignac

Although Nate and I are trying to save money we decided to splurge a little last week and go out for a relaxing dinner. We went to a local pub and took a seat. They didn’t have a very large menu but they did have about 7 items on a Plat de Jour [...]
