Day 1 – depart for Zurich It’s that time of year. Time to explore a new place. This trip is seeing me go “high tech”. Well for me, anyways. I most have made the switch to an e-ticket / check-in (Mostly… I still print out the tickets just in case. Especially as there are two … Continue reading Switzerland and Strasbourg

Return from NYC
Back from a wonderful trip to NYC, which I'll admit made me miss the East Coast! Everything fell into place so well and was interesting and fun. The public transport was a breeze, save for one day when my train got rerouted and sent me in a completely different direction than I had been intending … Continue reading Return from NYC
Atlanta conference trip side explorations
Atlanta conference – trip July 17 Greetings from Atlanta! I came down a few days in advance of a conference I am attending. And speaking at as part of a panel. First time for that.

Istanbul-Croatia (Dubrovnik/Zagreb)-Venice
Istanbul-Dubrovnik-Montenegro-Zagreb-Plitvice Lakes-Venice Day 1 It’s been a long while since I’ve done one of these. Much more complicated these days. Looking forward to unplugging from work and the usual routine and replugging in to something that always really feeds my soul. And meet friends and eat great food and learn about an area of the … Continue reading Istanbul-Croatia (Dubrovnik/Zagreb)-Venice
Chile & Peru
Checking out a continent that is new to me. Happened accidentally as it often does for me. No joke. I had no idea I’d go to Ireland a few years ago but the flights were cheap and I was like, “hmm. I’ve never been /there/...” I was planning to go to New Zealand and Australia … Continue reading Chile & Peru
Thailand (Bangkok, Krabi) and Cambodia (Siem Reap, Angkor Wat)

I’m not sure why I get so stressed out by that whole process. And trek to get here. And the arranging … Continue reading Thailand (Bangkok, Krabi) and Cambodia (Siem Reap, Angkor Wat)
Trip to Morocco
Day 1 It's been a while since I've been on one of these big adventures. Already through what is the most stressful part for me - getting to the airport. Well, that and planning. I'm so jealous of people who get excited about that. Ok, maybe not but I've found that it does make traveling … Continue reading Trip to Morocco
Barcelona to Paris (via Montpellier, Marseille, Annecy, and Chamonix/Mont Blanc)
July 24 Just booked my flights for this year's big trip. After toying with heading to Asia, I ultimately decided to continue where I left off last year. I'm going to fly into Barcelona and head up into France, hitting Provence, a town or two near the Alps, and Paris. It will allow me to … Continue reading Barcelona to Paris (via Montpellier, Marseille, Annecy, and Chamonix/Mont Blanc)
Lisbon to Barcelona (via Madrid and a few other quirky stops)
August 29 (I) European men are way hotter than their American counterparts. Sorry guys, it's not even close. August 29 (II) I'm of course /loving/ all of the language play on this vacation. From pretending I was French in all my interactions on the airplane to hanging out and speaking Spanish with a hint of … Continue reading Lisbon to Barcelona (via Madrid and a few other quirky stops)

August 26 Just booked a day tour for my upcoming trip to Ireland and for whatever weird reason started entering my old Omaha phone number area code. I haven't lived there in almost 15 years!! August 29 Ah, I miss hearing all these … Continue reading A trek through Ireland
