Hello! It’s Wednesday morning AEST and we’re finally getting used to the time difference. Despite the jet lag we’ve powered through and actually done quite a few things already! I’m running a little behind so I’ll break up our experiences into blog post vignettes. July 6, 2018 – July 7, 2018 The day after we […]
Our annual journey to Melbourne has begun! Every year Addam and I make the arduous trek from Northwest Arkansas to Melbourne, Australia. We’ve been wanting to bring Geneviette with us for awhile now but plane tickets across the world aren’t cheap. This time we found a way to make it happen! There’s no way to […]
When we were planning our trip to England in 2016, the first place on my go-to list was Jane Austen’s house. This list is less a Jane Austen tour and more a pilgrimage of the world’s most beloved female author. Every significant place in Jane Austen’s life is included here in this list: 10 Places […]
Today we visited the Buffalo National River and completed our National Parks stamp collection for Arkansas! National Park Passport Stamps When I first moved to Arkansas I was a city girl and not too impressed with local recreational activities. To help me adjust, Addam came up with the idea of exploring destinations beyond Northwest Arkansas. […]
Date: 17 June 2016 White Cliffs of Dover After a refreshing night in our first ever Airbnb we woke up early to trek to the White Cliffs of Dover. This natural landmark is famous for the beautiful white chalky cliffs that overlook the narrowest part of the English Channel facing France. That morning there was […]
Date: 16 June 2016. Driving through London is basically traffic hell, but we (read: Addam) managed it. The previous few days of bus, and train riding had been a nice break from the car. The convenience of parking at a camping ground outside of the city, outweighed the inconvenience of using public transport to get […]
Date: 15 June 2016 Written: 17 September 2016 Today I was very aware of having to marry a lifetime of imagination, and television footage, with reality. The truth is it’s impossible for videos, and photos, to replace experiencing a place in person. I thought back to moments through my life where I wished to be present in these […]
Date: 14 June 2016. If you’ve never been to London it’s likely that your imagination ignores the advice people give you before you go there. “There’s so many people!” “The traffic is horrible!” “The tube is packed with people!” Yeah, yeah I thought, I’ve been to New York, and to many other cities, I know […]
Date: 13 June 2016. I almost decided to skip this one but I am so glad we didn’t. Going to the HP studio tour seemed like going to Paris to visit Disneyland. I just wasn’t sure if we would be making the most of our time in England if we visited a Harry Potter place. […]
Date: 12 June 2016. This morning we said goodbye to Scotland and slowly made our way down toward London. Our original plan was to drive straight from Edinburgh to London but with traffic jams all around every city it seemed unlikely that it would be a clear 5-6 hour run to London. So I looked […]
