While the majority of my travel experiences have been hassle free, I’ve definitely had my fair share of long delays and canceled flights. A couple years ago when we flew to Rome we ran into every single possible obstacle that could have happened. That whole situation really made me thankful… Read more
New Orleans Miscellaneous
The rest of our time in New Orleans was over Christmas and so we took it easy and just relaxed at our hotel much of the time. But here are some of the miscellaneous photos from our trip that I haven’t posted yet. Overall, I’m glad we saw the city… Read more
New Orleans: Day 1 (The French Quarter)
Our first day in New Orleans, we wandered around the French Quarter, took in the sights and enjoyed the food. The city was a lot different than I had anticipated. I was expecting it to feel quaint and almost fairy-tale like after seeing photos of the French quarter, but that… Read more
Our First Trip to Iceland: Day 4

Our First Trip to Iceland: Day 2

Our First Trip to Iceland: Day 1

New York City: Day 4

Our First Evening in New York City
Our first day in New York City began around 4pm when we arrived at our hotel after traveling. I had booked our hotel so long ago, I had sort of forgotten where exactly it was located and what sort of decor it would be, but when we arrived, I remembered… Read more
Victoria BC Day 2
Our second and final day in Victoria was another lovely one. We got blue skies that day, with beautiful big fluffy clouds out over the water. The weather was wonderful but very cold still, so after sleeping in, we bundled up and went out for another day of exploring. We… Read more
Victoria BC Day 1
The day we got into Victoria, it was early afternoon and we had expected to arrive to rain and stormy weather, as it was pouring rain when we left Portland. But in a nice turn of events, we arrived to Victoria in grey skies but not a drop of rain… Read more
San Francisco
This past long weekend in San Francisco was interesting for Nick and I. We were expecting to love the city and maybe we were expecting too much. We’ve seen a lot of places and for me especially, some of them really stick with me, some of them I fall deeply… Read more
Paris Day 3 (March 2012)

Paris Day 2 (March 2012)
Paris in the springtime is unlike any other time of year and there was almost an air of freshness, in the people, in the trees, in the whole feeling of the city. We happened to spend a few days in Paris as great warm weather rolled in and everybody was… Read more
