Why on earth would you ever go to DELAWARE during your tour of the northeast US? Well kids, it wasn’t necessarily by choice. Due to our extreme travel schedule we had missed out on several important dates back home - mainly Shaun’s parents coming to visit. We had let too many years slip by since… Continue reading Dela-WHERE?
...and it was over just like that. Three months in Europe, gone in a flash. It is crazy how time flies when you’re having fun. As we looked up from our books on the Megabus, we found ourselves surrounded by Washington DC. I’m baaaaaaaack. ...with Shaun in tow as a DC virgin. What this means… Continue reading Washington DC: The SECOND Time Around
I do have to admit - working for the major video game company Blizzard had its perks. One being that they started work approved Nerf Gun Wars. There were designated DMZs (De-Militarized Zones) so that the phone team wouldn't be accosted on the job, but everything else was fair game. So we prepared and armed… Continue reading Exposure: Nerf Gun Wars
Enter the absurd: We were invited to a party for Guy Fawkes Day and found ourselves hanging out in a yurt on top of a building in east London with a rockin’ party around us. We huddled together for warmth under a heater on the rooftop as our breath hung in the air. “Now it… Continue reading Slice of Life: Guy Fawkes Day
We found ourselves in London for our Nth time. Yes, we’re obsessed but this time it was business. And that business involved exploring the wonders of one of the biggest travel conventions in the world, World Travel Market. We went there for a couple of reasons: To get inspiration for our travels in 2013. We… Continue reading World Travel Market: The World at our Fingertips
It is one of those places that, I promise, you don't really know what you're getting yourself into when you head into the red light district. I can understand why this "taboo" tourist attraction garners the attention it gets and attracts thousands of people to wander the streets. I saw Johns staring into the windows… Continue reading Photo Essay: The Red Light District in Amsterdam
*standing applause* That is for you guys. Thank you for making 2012 an epic year for us. Without your cheering and lovely comments, we couldn't have accomplished what we have been able to accomplish. We wanted to make sure to give credit where the credit's due. YOU. *raises glass* Thank you for helping us keep… Continue reading Happy New Year 2012!
It is weird to think that we left on our life changing trip 627 days ago. We are quickly approaching 2 years of a cubicle free life and I couldn't be happier. Our year in review is INTENSE. 2012 has been crazy for us as we globetrotted at a breakneck speed. If you would have… Continue reading 2012: Our Year in Review
It is amazing how your travels can change once your mindset changes about your travels. For us, this European trip had been mainly business - something that was new and completely different for us. But Amsterdam? It had been on my vacation bucket list for quite some time and we were going to treat it… Continue reading A Little RnR in Amsterdam
Merry Christmas Eve from Over Yonderlust! 😀 I thought I would bring you another Christmas tradition that I look forward to every year with my family. The Trail of Lights at Zilker park has been an Austin, Texas establishment for nearly 50 years. Due to the downturn in the economy, this was one of the… Continue reading Trail of Lights: Austin, Texas 2012
It started on a whim. We were invited to head out to Santa Con (also known as Santa Rampage) with our dearest friends J&J a few years ago. They are probably some of the only people I know that I would consider more random, more spontaneous, and more whimsical than we are. I think that… Continue reading Santa Con 2012
We were already spoiled with how the concierge set up all of our activities in New York. Adding to the fact that they also can set up reservations (and offer suggestions!) for some of the most popular places to eat in New York, you really get an all inclusive package there. Hilton HHonors was kicking… Continue reading New York Eats with Hilton HHonors
It is only once on every other blue moon when the stars align and your crazy aunt decides to do a raindance that we get the opportunity to take trips that focus on our relationship. Sure, we are a travel couple, but the last time we took a romance based trip was on our honeymoon...… Continue reading FINALLY, A Romantic Getaway! Christmas in New York with Hilton HHonors
Sometimes you need to have a little bit of humor when it comes to life's bumps. Shaun decided to follow a couple of other guys while they raced down the highway. All it took as a broken down bus and old brakes to cause a 3 car crash. I think we got off easy (and… Continue reading Exposure: Hello Kitty Car Crash
I have never fallen for a city so fast. I felt like a giddy 15 year old girl heading to a New Kids on the Block concert. Berlin gained my loyalty so quickly, I’m not even sure what happened. It didn’t help that Shaun uttered something that left my mouth gaping and speechless. "Berlin is… Continue reading Berlin, I Love You
