On our second night in Iceland, we found a super nice campground (or at least that’s what we thought the first night). It was quiet, had very clean (and accessible) bathrooms, and was just what we needed after staying in a parking garage the night before. We parked our campervan, paid the $38.16, and nestled…
It was a spontaneous trip. Well, let me rephrase, it was a spontaneous trip for Tony. I had secretly been eyeing the one-day tour to Greenland for weeks. I started trying to convince Tony a few days before we got to Iceland. He gets so frustrated with my crazy ideas and constant need for new…
My 60th country! I am so proud of my accomplishments. While I’ve just put a dink in my journey to see the world, Iceland was the furthest north I would have been, and a place I knew would be very different from anywhere else I’ve been. We had an overnight flight from JFK, and I…
Phuket is an island in the south of Thailand. It is most definitely more touristy (and more expensive) than Chiang Mai, but it was a must see for us. And it was where we did our scuba diving. Our dive master – Allen – was simply incredible. He was from the UK and had retired…

Ayutthaya is an ancient city, the capital of the Siam empire, built in the 1300s. It is 52 km outside of Bangkok, and yes, there is a train that goes there. We got to the train station early, hoping to get to the city before the heat set in. We were not as lucky as…
Kanchanaburi comes highly recommended by all the travel bloggers and tourists’ sites. I disagree. I wouldn’t waste the time there. We did have a bad experience, though. We should have taken a train out of Thonburi station but our tuk tuk driver refused to take us there, so we missed the only morning train that…
