Like many people, the last 2 years put a bit of a damper on our ability to explore the depths of our travel bucket lists.

Surviving a Sleepless Flight
Long-haul flights are easy to manage for some. They get to their seat, put in some earbuds and are snoring away while engines kick into motion, snoozing before take-off is even complete.

Days Eleven through Fifteen
Day Eleven: November 6th, Edinburgh, ScotlandToday was what we called the Free day. The lounge-about day where we got to sleep in, I got to take a long, hot shower, and eat a little breakfast before we separated. To do whatever each of us solely wanted to do. For me, the day was made for … Continue reading Days Eleven through Fifteen
