My last weekend in Europe, I went to Paris. It was something that I kept putting off, and I'm rather glad I did because the weather was perfect and it was a really nice way to end my time in Europe. By the time I got back to London, all I had time to do was pack, pack, and pack some more.

Sometime in mid-May, I went to Windsor castle with 2 of the girls from Penn for my very last free excursion. There aren't many pictures, but I thought I would share them. ( windsor )

So, I'm done posting pictures from my Mediterranean cruise. We were supposed to catch a train to Paris, but I messed up and didn't get the tickets in time and it was all booked. So, instead we found a cheap flight from Florence back to London and had an extra day in London before Richard had to go back to Philly. So...we headed to museums and a ( Read more... )

Oy.  So, obviously I have been remiss about updating lately.  And by lately, I mean the last 6 months.  But, that changes now!

So, without further ado, ( Amalfi, Italy )

No pictures from Amalfi yet, as Richard has to upload them. I'm not passing the buck here, except I sort of am because I can't post pictures to my flickr as it is completely full. But what I do have is pictures from my trip to Dublin, which was in the first weekend of June ( Read more... )

So, back in Philly. Have eaten Mexican food, driven my car, snuggled with the dog, all the important things. But I can relive my days of world travel, because it seems I will never be finished posting these damn pics!
