Prague 1 – Intro to Goulash Country

Things have been super busy over here lately and I haven’t been able to even come close to keeping up with the travel posts here.  Im going to try to at least get the big trips posted soon.  This post is going to be part 1 of 3 for our trip to Prague.  I took a ton of pictures there and didn’t want to cram it all into one post.  I actually took all the pictures with my iphone as well.  I didn’t want to lug Continue reading “Prague 1 – Intro to Goulash Country”

Agrigento Sicily – Valley of the Temples

Agrigento is a place that every visitor of Sicily should try to make.  Especially if you are into archeological things.  Agrigento is well known for its well preserved Greek temples that date back to 580 B.C. !!  Now I understand why they call America the New World.   Wikipedia has a page about Agrigento that has a lot of information (LINK).

We stayed the weekend in Agrigento to make sure that we got all the sights in.  Plus its about a 2 hour drive from where we are on the island.  I was excited because one of the few surf stores was supposed to be in Agrigento, but after searching Continue reading “Agrigento Sicily – Valley of the Temples”

Ragusa, Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Scicli, and Marina di Ragusa

This made for easy travel between the towns and we were able to see a lot of things over the Continue reading “Ragusa, Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Scicli, and Marina di Ragusa”

Thanksgiving in Munich Germany

Germany!  I grew up going to a town in Michigan called Frankenmuth and it was Michigans version of little Germany.  Every time that we went it was a big adventure usually with a bunch of the family.  I always had a great time with the different food that was delicious and the vibe of the town with an old fashioned arcade and huge cuckoo clock in the middle of town.  These memories got me really excited about going to the real Germany especially since we were going on the Continue reading “Thanksgiving in Munich Germany”

Dublin

Ready for another trip off the island…. this time to another island!   We found some great flights that were direct from Catania, Sicily to Dublin.  Dublin was one of our top places that we wanted to see while we were out here and it didn’t disappoint.

It was noticeably colder when we got off the plane in Dublin.  Jess and I huddled together like freezing Chihuahuas  at the airport while we Continue reading “Dublin”
