And we’re off like a turd of hurdles
…and hurdles we have had…..but I’ll get to that in a minute… first, I feel like I need to address the big pink elephant in the room. Why India? Now I have to admit, this question irritates me. In the past 2 months, whenever I mention we are going on vacation, and someone in the […]
The making of I-Karen
We left Estepona last Saturday and headed for the coast. Packing everything in the car is always fun. We rented a mid size car- and received more of the twiddle-bug family car from sesame street. Every. Time. The funny thing is that the boys do nothing but complain about how small the car is and […]
NICOLE!!-put down the monkey.
So last night was an okay sleep…. We always share the best room when we vacation together…wait that sounded wrong. We share-as in- the best room is divided-so if we are in that particular villa/apartment for 6 nights-Gary and Nicole get it for 3 and we get it for 3. Keeps us from fighting. Mostly. […]
The muppets (try to) take the Matador
We leave this morning for an unplanned outing. A 1 and a half hour drive along the crazy twists and turns back tracking the road through the mountains we took yesterday. We saw this suggestion in Rick Steve’s book yesterday and when Nicole presented it-at first I was sceptical. But when she said, “Karen, we […]
Cumin belly and Camel fleas
This is our first early morning of the trip. We have to leave at 7 am and get a cab to the nearest MacDoanlds for our pick up. Perfect! We can get breakfast! Accept the Spanish don’t eat breakfast until after 9? The MacDonalds legit doesn’t even open until 9am. I guess we’re not getting […]
Goat Judgement. also, Summitdentistry. net
After the “Hit the Wall” night, we slept a full 12 hours! I mean SLEPT. I was out cold-other then the occasional JUMP out of bed to check the time every 2 hours. Its a jet lag thing. You swear its 8 am and you’ve over slept, but it actually 10:40 the night before and […]
Where the heck is my calming goat?
We’ve finally made it! It was a less then ideal flight, but it got us here. We took what we could get, which meant not flying with Lufthansa as we had been booked, but with Air Canada instead. Which is fine! But not as amazing as Lufthansa- we had the perfect seats picked out for […]
Spain. Over-rated. How about Windsor, Ontario?
So here we go again! Glad you’re all back for another adventure! This won’t be as “out of our element” as China, or as “back in our element” as Italy- but I think it will be entertaining….you know how I know? Because I’ve spent the past 2 days trying to make It to Toronto. And […]
Two Muppets in the wind…..
So today the boys go with mom and Dad to the coliseum tour. Nicole and I stay home to pack-Ourselves and mom and Dad. Well. More of a “let’s shove this stuff in bags and see how much weight we have left for more leather” marathon. We do that until 10 am. And then we […]
Chipmunks and Scarlett scarves.
We’re Up early to leave for tour today. We are seeing the Vatican today. Nicole, me, mom and Dad. And the two boys are alone for the morning. I’m guessing they are going to rub each other’s backs and enjoy a few wine moments together in Club Muppetto. But not us. Off to get a […]
