Travel Log – Barcelona and France – Part 5

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Thursday – May 13th – Toulouse to Albi In the morning, I feel less nauseous but my whole body feels like it’s full of ground glass. Fun! Still, I want to see some of Toulouse, even though it’s still grey and cold out, not to mention a French holiday. Undeterred, we wander first to a [...]

Gigantor two-day update today. Are you excited? ARE YOU?! Well let’s rock! Sunday – May 9th – Barcelona to Perpignan Epic fail!

Going to try to do a log for each day that we were away. I’ve written several up in advance, so I should hopefully be able to crank out one or two a day for the next week or so. Some are longer than others, so for the long ones like today’s, I’ll only post [...]

Traveling Again – Spain and France

Pictures from Florida – Ponce Inlet, Daytona Beach, Disney World

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Charlotte and I went to visit my parents at the condo they’re renting down at Ponce Inlet, Florida. They managed to get my sisters and one of my brothers down there, too, so it was almost a full family reunion (missing my brother Nick and his family). While down there, we also spent a couple [...]

Pictures and More Pictures from La France

I’ve posted four different galleries of pictures from Charlotte and my trip to France for Christmas. None of these galleries feature any pics of me throwing up on a Paris commuter train on the way to the airport to fly back to the USA … but trust me when I say that’s a good thing! [...]
