Flight Risk: Boredom!
It’s Travel Tip Tuesday! Here’s one that was originally published on 28 September 2015. We all love long flights, right? They take us to exciting, faraway destinations, you can’t get where you’re going any faster than in a plane, and you get free meals (which you paid for with your pricey plane ticket)! But after…

Journey to Krakow
Here’s another post from my trip to Poland! Originally published 7 May 2012. Sunday morning came early! I had the typical European breakfast: bread with cheese and what looked to be salami or some other cold cut, tomatoes, apple, and jelly for the bread. That was enough to get me through for a bit. I ended…

Museum Day in Warsaw!
It’s Flashback Friday! Here’s another post from my Poland trip, originally published on 6 May 2012! Well, good as my intentions were to wake up at 7 and get going Saturday morning, that is not what happened! I woke up around 9:30 and made it downstairs in time for a quick breakfast. I really intended…

Final Days in Turkey!
Originally published on 14 September 2011. We decided we wanted a day to sleep as late as we could, and so we did! Dan beat us all, of course, as he usually does when it comes to sleeping in. Andrea and I got up and went to breakfast, and we were in for a tremendous…

Ephesus
Originally published on 14 September 2011. And so begins our Sunday in Ephesus! We went to the bus stop to catch the Efes (Turkish for Ephesus) bus and were there within 10 minutes of leaving the place where we were staying. Lickety split, easy as that! Tickets into Ephesus were 20 Lira, about $11, in…

The Turkish Market
Originally published 12 September 2011. So here we are in Selcuk! (Pronounced “Sell-chuck”.) We got in around 9:00 or so Friday night, and around 10:00 or so, we were treated to a true Turkish experience! Apparently, someone joined the Turkish Army, and when that happens, there’s a big parade in the street—and it happened to…

Hiking Goreme
Originally published on 11 September 2011. I do not want to take away from this day. My prayers are with our country, those serving, those whose families have been affected. I am looking very forward to returning home soon! Where did we leave off? Turkish coffee (regular and “official” Turkish coffee) is not my preferred…

Hot Air Balloons and Fairy Chimneys
Originally published 7 September 2011. And this morning was… the Great Balloon Ride Extravaganza! Up at 5:00, picked up in a van with a bunch of people I don’t know, ate a little, not so wonderful pre-packaged muffin and instant coffee, and then it was time to get into the balloon! It looked like mass…
