Sleeping Bear Dunes We have a secret. Soon we will be moving to Florida! (I guess it isn’t really a secret anymore, huh?) Since we have limited time remaining in the Midwest, we decided to make memorial day weekend into an extra long weekend and go camping at one of our favorite places, Sleeping Bear […]
Written by Nisheet: Since the forecast for today called for the quintessentially Florida 80 F weather, I decided to get up extra early for some Tampa Bay exploring. A friend back home had told me to check out the city of Tarpon Springs for the most authentic Greek food and sponges so that’s where I […]
Written by Nisheet: What’s the first thing you do if you have to fly from Michigan to Tampa Bay in the dead of winter? Go to da beach, of course! After landing in Tampa at 5pm, I was pleasantly greeted with the 70F temps which was almost the double the temps that I had experienced just […]
For our annual Labor Day Weekend trip, Nisheet and I ventured to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to see the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Tahquamenon Falls. I drove to Grand Rapids, and as soon as Nisheet got off work we hit the road. Our first stop was Mackinaw City. Unfortunately we were running a […]
London Our last day in London was the 4th of July. It was a very interesting feeling to be in the country that your own country won independence from on the anniversary of that independence day. I tried to find an American Independence Day party to attend but didn’t have much luck. There was going to […]
Edinburgh: Sadyl, we only had one last morning to spend in Edinburgh (read about our first and second days in Edinburgh) before catching the train back to London, and we planned to take full advantage of it. We started the morning by having a pastry and coffee in The Elephant House. I was a bit […]
Scottish Highlands Day Tour: We couldn’t go to Scotland without a quick trip to the Highlands, but we didn’t have much time to spare. So, we decided on a Scottish Highlands Day Tour (8am – 8pm) with Highland Experience that went to Pitlochry, Loch Ness, Glen Coe, and Stirling. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the […]
We started our second day in Edinburgh with an ambitious list to accomplish. We wanted to do a walking tour, hike around Holyrood Park, and see the Princes garden. If you missed it, be sure to read about our adventures on our first day in Edinburgh. Edinburgh Walking Tour: First up on the list was a Sandeman […]
Today was our first day in Scotland. We arrived in Edinburgh early in the morning and were exhausted from the overnight bus ride. We didn’t sleep at all. We checked into our hostel and asked for directions to a good breakfast joint so we could get some energy to explore the Edinburgh Castle and The […]
Today we got up bright and early and took a bus from London to Dover. I had it all planned out. We were going to stroll along a path on the top of the cliffs. There was a lighthouse at the end of the trail, and supposedly, the lighthouse had a cute (and good) tea […]
