A Whole Lotta Nature (That’s Pretty Neat!)
Since we left the glorious campsite at Grindavik, we have learned that it truly was a top-of-the-line facility. The other campgrounds have been nice for the most part but not Grindavik-nice. We’ve struggled a bit to find good wifi, for one. Also, of the four campgrounds we’ve visited so far, it was the only one … Continue reading
Floating in a Bláa Lónið
♫ Now’s your moment, floating in a blue lagoon. Boy, you better do it soon; no time will be better. She don’t say a word, and she won’t say a word until you kiss the girl. ♫ Ha! I’ve had the “Kiss the Girl” song from The Little Mermaid (my favorite movie as a kid) … Continue reading
Iceland: First Impressions
Mike and I are nearing the end of Day 2 in Iceland, though you’d never know it by looking at the sun. Last night it was still light out when we went to bed around midnight. We arrived early in the day on July 5th and took our time exiting the airport. That was partly … Continue reading
Adventure #3: Even the Waves Have Rhythm
* This is adventure #3 of my Top 10 Adventures Countdown* Mike and I were lucky to spend our Spring Break in Barbados in 2012. His cousin, Suzanne, and her husband, Steve, chose the Caribbean island as their vacation wedding destination. Mike was (awesomely) recruited as their wedding photographer, and I tagged along because it … Continue reading
Escaping the Heat
A few weeks ago when I revived my blog, I mentioned that the revival was in honor of an upcoming trip. I needed to warm up to the task ahead and give credit to the awesomeness of the past year and a half. I’m now halfway through my Top 10 Adventures Countdown, so this seemed … Continue reading
Blog? What blog?
Well, obviously my 2012 New Year’s resolution didn’t go well (not to mention 2013): four posts last year and none so far this year. However, all of that is about to change, my friends. In order to gear up for my next adventure (which I’ll tell you all about once it’s ready to roll out), … Continue reading
Las Islas de Titicaca
Once we reached Puno, Sharon, Bernie, Mike, and I were anxious to visit a few of the islands on Lake Titicaca. So, one morning we worked our way down to the dock with the vague plan to hitch a boat to as many of the islands as we could. This proved a bit more difficult … Continue reading
Journey to Lake Titicaca
Whenever I hear “Lake Titicaca” I can’t help but run through the Animaniacs song about it in my head. So, I’ve included it for your viewing pleasure: Now we can get down to business. After Sharon and Bernie’s solo trip to Macchu Picchu and our near-miss Ollantaytambo meet-up, the four of us headed back to … Continue reading
Ollantaytambo
After several days of acclimating to the altitude and touring the sites in and around Cusco with us, Sharon and Bernie set off to do a little exploring on their own. You simply cannot come all the way to Peru without seeing Machu Picchu, and since Mike and I hadn’t been patient enough to wait … Continue reading
"Sexy Woman" and Other Lesser-Known Ruins
I’ve taken quite the hiatus from blogging, but there’s still so much to tell about our adventures in Peru. Even though I’m extremely super-busy this semester, hopefully I’ll find the time to blog more regularly until you’re all caught up on our travels. After we left the Pisac market, Sharon, Bernie, Mike, and I visited … Continue reading
