10-20 September: Rock Your Socks Off!
How do I write this post without going into a series of clichés and superlatives?? Duncan and I have hit the Canadian Rockies! We were determined to enjoy ourselves to the point that we booked two log cabins way back at the beginning of the year so we wouldn’t miss out on the authentic Rockie […]

30 August-2 November: You’re Goin’ to Vegas!
It is funny how a place like Las Vegas doesn’t need much of an excuse to visit. Our friends Penny and Adam said to us “So, if you are near Vegas around the end of the month we should catch up” – we weren’t anywhere near Vegas, but that was all the invite that we […]

20-24 August: Legend of the Falls
We have almost done a full loop, having now done Southern New England, Eastern Canada, back into Northern New England and now into New York State, where we first started our North American leg over a month ago. Our short term goal was the iconic Niagara Falls, in which we took the scenic route via […]

17-20 August: A Notch in our belt
Jeepers!! Duncan and I are writing this blog in the safety of Chicago, watching all the chaos caused by Hurricane Irene in all the areas that we have just been in! We are so lucky! Just over a week ago we were in Vermont experiencing the countryside in picture perfect weather and now we are […]

6-13 August: Red Claws to Red Pigtails!
OK so we were on the road again, on our next leg, full of the promise of all the great and amazing things that we were about to discover… so exciting! We had been camping and road tripping through Europe for almost 9 weeks we had learnt so much and were total professionals on the […]

27 July-6 August: Sox in the City
Whoa, Ok so where did the time go?? We have been very lax and lazy about our blogs since leaving the European continent. One might say getting into the US Spirit 😉 Since arriving on the American continent Duncan and I have been focusing on the New England area with a little of South Eastern […]

20-26 July: When in Rome
“When in Rome” is fast becoming Duncan’s favourite saying of our trip. Each time we are unsure if we should do something Duncan pipes up with “Well, when in Rome…?”. In true Ron Burgundy style, this often makes no sense, but our decision to make a spontaneous trip to the French beach side town of […]

5-8 July: Portuguese Starts
WooHoo! Fourth European country – Portugal! It was a country that neither Duncan or I had been to, we knew very little about it, didn’t have a guide book to tell us the hot spots or even a road map to tell where to go. With no expectations, just a desire to visit it and […]

27 June-4 July: The Little Spanish Flee
It takes some getting used to, one moment we are in one country with its language, customs, food, architecture, laws and protocol; then suddenly we are in another country with a whole lot of new customs, food, architecture and language. Especially now the EU has meant that crossings are little more than state border crossings […]

11-20 June: Been There Dordogne That
Ahhhhhh, the Dordogne!! Duncan and I had a crush on this region in France when we stayed here for two week during our honeymoon. Now unfortunately we are full on, head over heels in love with the place. We always knew that we would spend a bit of time in the region so we decided […]
