A few weeks ago we were talking with some friends about how smooth all of our travels had gone. Of all the trips we’ve taken over the last year, we have been blessed to not experience any major problems or setbacks. I should’ve knocked on wood. We boarded our 32nd airplane of the year on […]
Since I was about 15 I’ve always felt like wherever I am in life is the best. “Life can’t possibly get any better than where I am right now.” I’ve thought that now for 15 years straight, and continue to prove myself wrong at every turn. I remember the stress I felt when I graduated […]
My, oh, my… I’ll try to go in chronological order, since that’s the only way I can attempt to describe a few days of chaos in a way that might convey at least a little bit of what San Fermín (Running of the Bulls) was really like. There were a few websites like TripAdvisor.com and […]
We have found the most helpful city in all of Europe. Five people gave us advice on how to get from the airport to our hotel, even though we only asked one. People literally came up to us on the street and offered help. At first I thought, “Do we really look that lost?!” But […]

It’s a fine place, and many people we met at our hotel absolutely love it here; but in my humble opinion, you can get better versions of all the same things elsewhere in Andalucía, or other parts of Spain. Better beaches, better Picasso […]
I’m not sure how I decided that we needed to visit Ronda. Every time it would come up in discussions about our itinerary, Scott would say, “Sooo… what’s in Ronda?” And I never really had a good answer, besides that I heard it was really beautiful. We actually ended up cutting our time here to […]
We managed to hit 3 countries on 2 continents in 2 days, with less than an hours travel time between each of them. The southern tip of Spain was not only the perfect launching point to hit Morocco, but also the British territory of Gibraltar. The Spanish buses don’t take you directly into the U.K. […]
