    Do Not Die Today: Southern California, 2022 (COMPLETE 2/23)

    I agree that you don't need to see a lot of the official sites to see London! DD and I went there in 2022 for Pokemon Worlds, so not a typical sightseeing trip, but we did add a little bit of extra time. What she really wanted was just to walk around and soak in what it was like to be in a...

    An Alphabetical Stroll Through Bali and Australia/+ a Bit of Philippines- C is for: Can't Sleep and Casino Change (1st Day in the Philippines) (3/26)

    And here I thought you were shouting because of what the DIS did to your photos! :crazy: Bali is looking gorgeous - it wasn't on my bucket list, but now it might need to sneak in there!

    Definitely an end of an era! Thank you for sharing your family adventures with us - they have been some of my favorite TRs over the years here. Also thankful Julie's health issues were over relatively quickly. Have fun exploring another country now that you have completed this one!

    Here and following along! Australia is on my bucket list, but who knows if I'll ever get there. It's a long, long bucket list, and that's one of the farthest places! Tho I do know some Aussies, including dd's bff's boyfriend, so who knows?

    Ooh - that was cool! I don't remember ever seeing any photos of that neighborhood, and it is so very different from anything else I saw in Rome!

    Sounds like you are extra busy! Sending lots of hugs and soak-it-all-in vibes. This too shall pass... Your further cooking adventures sound amazing. I'm still astounded that you found this. I got a similar random flirtatious guy (but a bit more direct!) back when I was visiting then-bf in...

    Interesting to see your Santorini report. It is way different than my memories from spring 1990 (imagine that, lol). My biggest memory is that everyone in our watercolor class was renting little motor scooters, and when it was my turn to do a practice run around the parking lot, I wiped out...

    Ooh - I didn't get to Olympia! Looks like a good stop (taking mental notes in case dh and I manage to do a similar trip someday - one of the many areas on our travel bucket list). Oh, and misplacing your passport (and then finding it) isn't nearly as bad as getting to the airport and...

    I haven't been on the Dis much lately, but just happened to see this! So glad you finally got to go to Italy (and Greece) after all this time! Your itinerary reminds me a bit of my own Italy and Greece travels. During my junior year abroad in Versailles, we had multiple breaks for travel and...

    The Final Frontier (An Alaska Trip Report - UPDATED 4/25)

    Sorry for just jumping in on the sports fan thing, but I really don't think there are any bandwagon Chicago Bears fans (at least, not since the Superbowl Shuffle era, maybe). My dad's general take on Chicago sports teams was how talented they were at "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory."...
