Plans, taking shape . . .

Jenelle, my friend from California, will be visiting soon and we will finalize our “adventure” plans.  Where our travels will take us this time, I am not quite sure yet – but it promises to be a fun time!  We met when we both worked in Venezuela, and became travel buddies and good friends.  Jenelle and [...]

Portugal/Windsor, England – Spring 2011

I had a whirlwind vacation over spring break!  We had TAP Day (field day) at school on Friday, and then I immediately went to the airport to begin my adventure.  My flight was late and I worried that I would miss my connection in Newark, but luckily that flight was delayed too.  I was the [...]
