When I woke up today, I looked outside and saw the brightest of blue skies. So of course, I woke up Kerrianne to tell her this. What we have learned in Florence is that the weather patterns change constantly. Not like rain is coming or anything dramatic like that, but it could be amazingly sunny…
From the ocean to the hillsides … or something like that. After last night’s amazing dinner … and bottle of prosecco in our hotel room, it was a tad bit of a struggle to be up and ready at 8 am today. But that’s how we like to travel. Initially I was excited when Kerrianne…
Well, we are bidding Venice farewell and hoping on the train to Florence. If we are comparing notes on train infrastructure, I would say: – South Station is prettier – European trains are more organized – 2nd class travel is like the Acela
Note: Our hotel only gives us one hour of Wifi a day … so this is a partial post that will be updated later 🙂 In preparing for this trip, a few of the guidebooks said things like “it’s not what you see when you are in Venice, it’s just being there”. I’d have to…
A few years ago when I was traveling in business school, itappeared wireless was free everywhere. Now, it’s a different story. Verizon ischarging me by the megabyte – which is insane considering a picture on my iPhonecan be 5 megabytes alone. So, sharing this amazing Italian journey is a little bitmore challenging than previous amazing…
Things that I’ve been thinking about: How much weight will I gain in Italy? My (self) manicures normally last for 2.5 weeks. What about that last 1/2 week?!? Will Ray Bans make me look like a tourist? I hope it’s sunny so my hair gets lighter. Should I try and keep track of how much…
This morning I woke up and it was Thursday. That seems obvious. But what it also meant was that this time next week I’d be in Italy … and perhaps more specifically hiking the coast of it. Sometimes I get a little anxious about this trip. But then, I think about when I would ever…
Oh you know just your casual family bike ride around the neighborhood post Easter dinner. It’s been a bit since the last update… and that’s in part because a lot and a little has happened. A little: no cooking no cleaning no Harbor walks A lot: I’m going to Italy for three weeks. If I’ve…
Hi there internet, I wanted to provide an update on my Birthday Wish to get 300 people to join (slash donate to) the Be the Match registry. I’m currently at less than 10 people … with about a million people telling me that they’d love to do it. I’ve been meaning to write an update…
It’s a good thing that I don’t work for an accounting company anymore… because my accounting of the 52 in 52 challenge for 2012… was a bit terrible. The whole point of the challenge was to try and cook new things, try some new techniques, and break out of habits. When I find something that…
