Welcome to my travel blog. I started this page to document my European adventure in 2008, and have tried to add photos from all of my travels since. Enjoy!

Eric and I are going to Ireland in March!

Saturday the 21st thru Sunday the 29th.

and the best part is....Nina is flying down from Norway to meet us there!!

I love my life.

So get ready for the revival of this travel blog!

home sweet home

and she's back.

10 weeks FLEW by, and I can hardly believe I'm home.

I flew to Dublin without any problems, only to find that it was completely FREEZING and I didn't have shoes or pants to wear. (My shoes retired to the trash can in Spain, they were holey and yucky, and my 1 pair of pants was filthy and packed away in the bottom of goodness-knows-where). The wind was blowing like crazy and it was raining on and off. So I took that as a sign to shop at my favorite Irish store, though I only had a few hours in Ireland. Once I warmed up a bit, I went to the pub near my hostel and had my pint of Guinness. There was live Irish Music and Dancing, which was fantastic. I remember why I loved Ireland so much, and I was a bit bummed that I was there for such a short time (though at the same time, not wanting to be in that weather any longer).

This morning, I took off at 930am Dublin time, and finally set foot in San Francisco at about 2pm California time. I got home, and am trying desperately to stay up a little longer, so I'm not totally jetlagged. I ate a burrito for lunch and veggies for dinner! So happy!

Thanks to those of you who checked up on me and read about the adventure.

I'm currently working on loading my photos onto my computer (it's taking FOREVER!)...and will hopefully be posting a handful of them tomorrow or this weekend, so keep an eye out!
