Updated: In just a few days, we will have been in Valencia two years. Time has really flown by. It seems like just yesterday that we decided to stay in Seville for one more year. It has also occurred to me that l haven’t written a whole lot about the city. [the_ad id=”13767″] This hasn’t …
4 days in Bucharest was just as delightful and beautiful as l had imagined. Having been to other parts of Eastern Europe such as Krakow and Budapest, two places that we both agreed were absolutely places we would consider living in.

Yeah. I know l said no new posts till the new year but l figured I’d wrap things up nice and proper for 2017 so we can start 2018 with a clean plate. This year has been calmer travel wise compared to 2016 when we visited 12 countries total and stayed a total of only 31 days in Spain!. It was exciting but frantic. We relished the chance to take it easy and l planned better for the year. Here is a wrap-up of what our year was like and how 2018 is shaping up.

At just 109 acres, it has the distinction of being the world’s smallest country. Inside this tiny country, there is a post office, a radio station and a mint and they even have their own currency, the Italian Lira.

Here are three reasons why you should do one when you visit Rome.
Updated: Greetings from beautiful Rome! I am so happy that fall has finally arrived and the weather has been just wonderful. I was a bit apprehensive as it had been raining hard for a few days before our arrival and there was flooding in the Tuscany area. This put a damper on my plans as …
