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 […]
Flying to London: Nisheet had to travel to the UK for a business trip, so we jumped at the chance to turn it into a vacation. He left for the UK before I did and worked for about a week before I joined him to see the London attractions, Dover, Edinburgh, and the Scottish Highlands. I took […]
Garden of the Gods: We had to fly home today. I still don’t know what compelled me to actually board the plane and fly back to Chicago. I guess it is because I have a job and apartment here… but Colorado, oh how I miss you. Even though we stayed in Boulder last night and flew […]
Boulder: We spent today in Boulder, Colorado, and I can’t say that I was super impressed with the city of Boulder itself. It is definitely worth your while to check it out, but don’t plan on spending an entire day. We walked down the pedestrian street, ate at a laid back restaurant, and saw some […]
