Our departure from the U.S. this time included closing the book on one part of our life that has been there since we met. In 2009, long before I met Sue, I bought a very shiny, dark red Saab 93 convertible. It was first my, then our go to car. Sue had a very sensible …

Wine, Walk and Cannons
The weekend came a day early for us. Stephanie—(quick digression, you see that "dash" just to the left? Sue will tell you that it is an em dash, (I will tell you that because it is; this – is an en dash and this - is a hyphen) and I never never never use them …
Hosting a Friend in Valencia
We don't collect a lot of souvenirs. Really just fridge magnets. I sometimes wonder what the total weight of our fridge magnets is, but we buy them because individually they are light and small. This is the long way around to saying that what we do collect is people — friends. On our fraught trip …
It Has Been a While…
It has been forever since we have written a post. Sorry everyone, sometimes life gets in the way and we lose a bit of momentum to keep up with the blog. A Quick Recap Since our last post, we left Athens and headed to England, with a quick stop in Valencia to set up a …
24 Hours of Sunlight
Tuesday morning we left Iceland and headed for Svalbard with an overnight stay at the Oslo airport. The flight from Reykjavik to Oslo was thoroughly uneventful and we stayed at an airport hotel, which was also perfectly uninteresting but very convenient.

We Use the Term “Planning” Loosely
We seem to have fallen into a routine in our blogs where we talk about what is happening now or has just happened. I thought I would take time to give you some insights into how we decide to go places, why we pick them and how much effort we (read mostly Sue) spends figuring …
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Happy New Year everyone. Our return from Ushuaia was uneventful and we have settled back into our temporary home in Buenos Aires. The couple of weeks around Christmas and New Year have not been very busy for work but I am gearing up for all the end of year stuff that needs to be done …
It’s Been a While Since We Posted
"Life is what happens to us when we are making other plans." John Lennon Yes, life marches on and derails our plans to write at least one blog a week, but we are here now. Our time in the U.S. is drawing to a close and we have been very lackadaisical about writing a blog. …
The Stadium Tour Continues
I have been somewhat of a hiatus from the blogosphere. Sue has been doing all the heavy lifting of keeping our blog up to date and all of you informed of our travels. I am deeply grateful that she has been shouldering that burden, but the time has come for me to do some scribbling …
