The Beginning is in Sight
So in approximately 3 weeks, we will be packing up our life and moving to the UK. Which is weird, as nothing much has changed at all. We’re still in our house, with all our furniture, it’s school holidays with the kids, and life keeps on keeping on. The big reason is, we are still […]

26 September-2 October: North by Pacific Northwest
It has been almost 12 years since I had been to Seattle, and I was still eager to get back there. Seattle was one of those places where I really felt at home. In 1998 I visited our relatives Stephanie and Rich Franko (as well as Nicholas and Peter) on my way back home from […]

21-26 September: As Easy as Eh, BC
Continuing on from the Rockies, we moved our focus to another beautiful part of Canada, British Colombia. Our first stop was Kamloops, not really worth a stop but worth a drive through for no other reason but the to have Kam get a photo with one of the Kamloop signs. As we moved away from […]

6-10 September: Parklife
With such an amazing day yesterday, we hit the road early, eager to get to Yellowstone National Park. I may have been a little eager, as we were asked to pull over by some officers of the South Dakota Highway Patrol. After the standard “do you know how fast you were going?” questions, a tense […]

3-5 September: Livin’ on a Prairie
After the thick haze of excess, we arrived back to Chicago to our airport hotel for some much needed rest and relaxation. This relaxation was required not just due to the late nights and glitz of Vegas, but more so due to our impending drive ahead of us. Known for not much in the way […]

25-30 August: My Kind of Town, Chicago
With a lovely Canadian hospitality fresh in our minds, we set off back into the USA as we headed towards the Great Lakes and Chicago. With some of my favourite movies of all time filmed here in Chicago, it was one of those cities I have been looking forward to with great expectations. Previously on […]

14-17 August: Poutine Dream
Fresh with ginger pigtails in our sights, and lobster in our tastebuds, we headed west of PEI to Canada, but not ordinary Canada, French Canada! A chance to get some of our mediocre French back on, we were off to Quebec. But before we could get there, a stopover for pasta dinner at a picnic […]

11 – 20 July: It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock Cadel!
WARNING: This blog post may contain scenes of randomness, hilarity, drunkenness and overall joy. Please use discretion prior to reading this post as it is LONG and factual. This blog will probably be the hardest blog to write as each day during Le Tour, Ed, Kam and myself would religiously conduct ‘catch-up’ sessions to recount […]

9-10 July: Oh Porto
Normally a place where we only spend 24 hours does not get it’s own blog, but this was Porto and we had had a dining experience of a lifetime, a complete blast meeting people and drinking the fabulous port all within a very picturesque city with lots of history and a wonderful vibe. I apologise […]

20-26 June: Tapa Time
With our treasured camera back in our hot little hands, and leaving the warming glow of the Dordogne in its wake, we set off down south. With a day lost waiting for our camera, we needed to bomb it down to the south of Spain to catch up with mates for El Noche De San […]
