The main fears I have have nothing to do with traveling alone. How about “How to Guilt Friends into Driving Carpool” and “Defending That Calendar Spot with Blood and Verbal Abuse 101.” Where are these postings people??… Read More Get Real Guide to Momcation Planning

Ayutthaya with Kids

Ayutthaya Thailand Bangkok day trip travel with kids buddha head

Growing up in the United States, we don’t grow up with old.  When a building is 200 years old, we’re all “Ooooohhhhh, can you imagine?  This was built before great-grandma was born!”  The oldest structures we have to oooohh and aaaahhh over are things like the Richard Sparrow House, built in 1640 and the Wyckhoff… Read More Ayutthaya with Kids

Koh Chang: Self-Medicating

As I said in my previous post about the Mercure, we had a very nice, restful few days on Koh Chang after our boat trip.  The one hitch in the whole thing was that my girl, Katie, managed to get badly sunburned the last day on the boat.  Her face was RED.  It looked so… Read More Koh Chang: Self-Medicating

Thailand: Hitchhiking Koh Kood with Kids!

Our journey up the river was intended to bring us to the road where taxis pick up passengers, and our goal was a little waterfall about a kilometer and a half from where we were.  So, we arrived at the “intersection” and found… very little traffic.  And very little intersection. And the signage was… less… Read More Thailand: Hitchhiking Koh Kood with Kids!

Our Bilzen Home…

Most definitely, the sweetest time we had on our trip was in Bilzen, Belgium.  It didn’t have the great monuments of the world, or museums or palaces like we had seen, but it has wonderful friends. Years ago Scott and I traveled with a team of people from our church in Virginia to visit a church… Read More Our Bilzen Home…

Bruges: Canals and Churches

Waking up Thursday, I had not planned on a long shower.  But we were in the Grand Hotel Casselbergh, and had a shower with the best hot water and water pressure we had yet had in Europe, so a long, hot shower was all I wanted.  We all took advantage.  If I somehow convinced Scott… Read More Bruges: Canals and Churches

Strolling Westminster

On Wednesday, after the Changing of the Horse Guard, we took a purposeful walk.  I wanted to see Big Ben from Westminster Bridge.  The iconic view. It was a little crazy, and was the first time here that I thought – this is the perfect place to be pick-pocketed.  I even paused at one point… Read More Strolling Westminster

London Family History

Today, we went in search of a piece of my family history.  The story goes like this… During WWII, my grandfather, Garland Earl, was stationed in London.  When I told that to our Fat Tyre Bike Tour guide, he immediately asked if he was part of the something-or-other corps.  I had never heard of whatever… Read More London Family History

The Coal Hole

After our crypt lunch, we went back to the room to rest for a while.  We didn’t want to really fall asleep, but get enough rest that we could stay up until bedtime.  Then we ran errands for the apartment necessities, and decided to walk Strand in search of somewhere interesting to have dinner. We… Read More The Coal Hole

London: Cafe in the Crypt

We arrived in London, and after taking the picture-perfect gated lift to our flat (ok, I took it with our bags, that’s all that fit!) settled in to our London ‘home’.    I’ll do an apartment post later – those photos are still on Scott’s laptop, and I can only transfer the photos one at… Read More London: Cafe in the Crypt
