Its so very nice to be warm and dry! Southern Spain is so wonderful and beautiful. We flew into Malaga and rented an apartment in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia. We can see the ocean and hear the nightly church bells from our balcony and we have spent everyday walking the beach [...]

I’m not into big cities, even amazing ones like London. They overwhelm me, such hustle and bustle but we just HAD to see Big Ben because thats where Peter Pan and Wendy flew – right? While we’re here lets go to the Tower of London and see the Crown Jewels exhibit. The children enjoyed the castle [...]

It is so nice being in an English speaking country after trying so hard to fix our electrical problem in France. Why couldnt I remember more than a few words of French that I learned in high school? Anyway, I’ve always loved England. The last time I was here I really enjoyed myself and saw so [...]

We’re in a little town named Woerden http://www.brinkbedbreakfast.com/SIGHTSEEING.html that is outside of Amsterdam. Everyone in Netherlands speaks English and everyone rides a bike. It is so beautiful, with thatched roofs, geese and swans, beautiful gardens and blonde and blue eyed kind people. The weather is just about perfect – maybe 70 degrees.
I had arranged a [...]

Our last days seem to be a blur – they went so fast. There were so many little details to take care of.
Migrating my desktop to my new laptop, packing and cleaning the house, picking up last minute items, downloading our music to the new laptop, scanning important docs and memories along with our precious [...]

In thinking where to go first I thought I should think about weather. I knew I didnt want us freezing our tushies off in the winter – so I thought southern France, Spain and Portugal would be warmer than other parts of Europe for January and February. I also have a visa situation to deal [...]

What we will miss most of all is Peter. He is our rock and we have such deep love for him. Knowing that he will visit us along our journey and that we have Skype is the only way we could do this. We truly would not be making this trip right now if not [...]
