November 8, 2024 The transit gremlins struck again today!! We had planned to take the metro Line 1 to Grimaldi Centrale Station and then the Circumvesuviana train to Pompei Scavi, the train stop across the street from the entrance to Pompei.

November 4-5, 2024 Another travel day as we leave Vienna, where it’s a bit chilly, and fly to Naples, much warmer! It was an uneventful flight, and we booked transport on the AliBus from the Naples airport to the nearest metro stop near the waterfront. We saw boats and ferries and it was nice

January 8, 2024 We arrived in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica on Monday Jan 8 after a 2 day journey to get here. Our flight from DCA was delayed 5 hours due to a maintenance issue so American Airlines put us up in a Sheraton in CLT to catch that same 11:30 flight to Liberia,
September 4, 2022 After a cross country flight from DC to LAX on Sept 3, I spent the night near LAX. With the time change difference it was easy to check in and basically go to sleep at 9pm. I called uber the next day after a nice breakfast and found the local Hawthorne
August 7, 2022 After a late arrival last night, we are getting settled in Anne’s flat in Weymouth. Details of our journey from Paris to Cherbourgh to take the ferry across the channel are in the previous post. Unpacking, washing, grocery shopping, etc. We try to walk each day and also find taking a
