Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
We decided we wanted to do the North Coast 500 route along the north coast of Scotland. Since we were planning to drive all the way north, we thought we would take our time getting there (and back) from London. In the two weeks we took to get to Lochcarron to start the NC500 we…
Day 1 – New Forest National Park New Forest National Park. We left home and headed through the New Forest National Park on our way to Beaulieu. The drive through New Forest was beautiful. Very green and ponies everywhere! The ponies would be in the field next to the road, on the shoulder, or sometimes…
We spent 14 nights on Koh Phangan island in Thailand. It was a great two weeks full of beaches, temples, and cool restaurants and bars. To get to Koh Phangan we flew into Koh Samui and arranged a ferry to the island. When we arrived in Koh Samui to discover that my bag did not…
We decided we wanted to explore other islands in the area while on Koh Phangan. This lead us to the Ang Thong Marine Park, and the day tours that are available with various tour companies. The marine park is a protected area consisting 42 islands in the Gulf of Thailand. Most of the islands are…
We decided to take a quick trip to Bath. We visited Bath in mid-November and had no issues getting tickets or waiting for entry times to any of the attractions. Ticket availability and wait times may be different at other times of the year. We arrived later in the day, too late to visit any…

Since we enjoyed the Paramount Pictures studio tour so much we decided to book the Warner Bros studio tour the following day. We didn’t have enough time to do the deluxe tour (equivalent for the Paramount Pictures VIP tour) at the Warner Bros Studio (even though I really, really wanted to), so we went with…
This is the third Universal Studios park that we have been to. We love our theme parks, and especially love the Harry Potter areas at Universal Studios. Since we only had one day at the park, and we really enjoyed it while in Japan, we decided to get the express pass ticket. The pass was…
One of the things that I really wanted to do while in LA was a studio tour. I love movies and TV, I love the magic and everything behind the scenes. I’m not really a crazy celebrity fan – I’m all about the magic behind the camera and the history throughout the years. I looked…
Our a return trip from Breckenridge, Colorado we went the direct route down Interstate 80 (rather than the scenic route we took out – see Roadtrip through Nebraska Sandhills for details on that trip). We did take our time on the 8 hour journey, stopping near Breckenridge at an outlet mall for some shopping, and…
