It’s not even been a week yet and I’m already confused. Did I stay in Milan or come straight to Rome? We left Landstuhl, Germany about 90 minutes later than I had planned because when we got on the train, I second-guessed myself and I walked us in one door and right back off. Turns…

Exploring to Exhaustion
Just when I was finishing up my blog post about landing in Ramstein and was thinking about heading back to bed for a bit, housekeeping tried to get inside the room… it was like 7:30am… I’m trying to get to the door in time (didn’t make it) to stop them from coming in and waking…
Touchdown at Ramstein Air Base
It is 5:38 Tuesday, Oct 4 local German time as I write this, but 10:38pm Monday, Oct 3, back home in Tennessee. My body’s internal clock thinks it’s still on West Tennessee time. I’ve been awake since 3:10am here… Oy vey! It’s been an exhausting but exciting past couple of days. We left Gatlinburg Sunday…
Family Vacay: Part 2 – Competing for Space A seats
After a fun-filled weekend with the family (said with the greatest love and just the slightest bit of sarcasm), the hubby and I left Gatlinburg at about 6:30 this morning (Sunday) and headed to Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) with the intention of catching an early morning flight on Space A to Ramstein, Germany. After…
Vacay 2022
Part 1: Family Weekend The hubby and I joined our oldest son and his family in Gatlinburg for a fun family vacation, Sept. 29 – Oct 1. With four grandbabies, ages 2 to 11, and their parents, there was plenty of adventure! We rented a three-bedroom VRBO in Gatlinburg, complete with two sets of bunk…
What an Adventure!
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…
