What an adventure the past couple of weeks have been! Traipsing around Europe and the United Kingdom with the love of my life has been absolutely amazing and I wish we could continue the adventure. Going to Europe with no real plans and being open to whatever may happen brought some wonderful and unexpected surprises….

Unexpected Detour
Ireland is an island, so we needed to book a flight to get off the island and did so on Friday headed to London, with the intention of taking the Eurostar back through the Chunnel and on to Germany to travel to Ramstein AFB to try to catch a military hop back to the States….
The Emerald Island
So we landed on the Emerald island on Tuesday to a bit of rain and a chill in the air… just what I expected. We made our way out to the taxi area, where we found everyone else in the airport had the same idea. Although, the line was excessively long and discouraging by sight, it actually went…
Freedom… William Wallace country
It was just an overnight stop for us though. We’d already been to London in previous years, so the next morning we boarded a regional train for Glasgow, Scotland. Even though apps like Rome2Rio tell you that reservations are not needed, I strongly recommend that you make them ( they’re free anyway) because you’d hate…
Unplanned Surprises
We flew out of Las Vegas on Tuesday on Condor Air… I’d never heard of them but I managed to score two tickets to Frankfurt, Germany for $290 a piece…. Yeah, it wasn’t how I wanted to go but I was burning days and I was itching to get across the pond. The airline is…
Sin City
The price for the flight to Las Vegas, $162, was the only thing good about that ordeal … and that was still too much. We flew on Frontier and they have become such a low budget, no-thrill airline, there are no longer any passenger comforts to be had. Everything has a price. It costs to take luggage,…
A New Plan
When I woke up this morning around 5:45, I called the terminal desk to see if they had any good news about Moody pax terminal allowing us to travel all the way through to Rota, Spain. They hadn’t been able to make contact with the Moody terminal but he did update me that roll call…
Whit’s fur ye’ll no go past ye
Whit’s fur ye’ll no go past ye Ever heard of hurry up and wait? It’s something you learn to do real well in the military. But I did said this was an adventure, right? Not only is it an adventure but also a roller coaster of highs and lows of emotions. In other words it’s…
Back on Track?
After a pitiful night and murderous looks from my extremely uncomfortable, exhausted and nicotine deprived husband at 4 a.m., I was starting to REALLY regret not staying in Memphis for Sunday’s flight. He finally went up to the terminal front desk around 6 a.m. and asked if one of the airmen on duty had a lighter he could…
Strike out…
So, we didn’t make the flight to Rota. Talk about a big let down. Seriously regretting not staying in Memphis and taking up that offer of a guaranteed flight to Rota out of Memphis on Sunday right now! In the 90 minutes we were in the air coming from Memphis, they had reduced the amount of seats…
