Up early again as we have to catch the 11AM train back to London today. Went out at 8:30 in search of food but nothing was open except McDonald’s and Burger King so we grabbed a mcmuffin, packed up our bags and set off to the train station. Eurostar recommends being there 30 minutes prior […]
Woke up at 7, got organized, had some breakfast and started the next part of our journey at 9. We asked for a cab to take us to the train station but the guy at the Front Desk told us it was only a 10 minute walk so we headed out in search of the […]
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while, WIFI on the ship was non-existent and we have been pretty busy. On Tuesday we had our longest day, we left Rouen at 8AM and made our way to the beaches of Normandy. Our first stop was Juno Beach and a tour of the Canadian Museum. This was […]
Yesterday we visited Vernon and took a bus over to Giverny which is only about 10 minutes away to visit the Monet Foundation gardens and house. Claude Monet purchased the site when he was 43 years old and fell in love with the area. He spent the last 43 years of his life building the […]
Our river cruise is with Viking this time around, it is great to experience the different cruise lines as it really gives me a good idea of the differences between the lines. Viking is more entry level than AMA Waterways and there are noticeable differences. The service has been pretty good so far with the […]
Woke up around 7:30, grabbed Mark a huge coffee (he was so happy to find real coffee, good thing he brought his travel mug as he put it to good use this morning!). Had a wonderful breakfast and then back to our room to get ready for our tour around Paris. What an amazing city, […]
After a great breakfast at a small restaurant across from the hotel, we checked out and headed back to Victoria Station. This time we had to go into the underground system to catch a train to King’s Cross as we had to get to the Eurostar train station to take the high speed train to […]
We are finally heading out on our next adventure, this time we are off to London and Paris where we will get to check a few things off our bucket list. I was lucky enough to win 2 flights anywhere WestJet flies, however when you win flights you have to be very flexible on your […]
Sadly our vacation is nearing the end, sorry I have not been updating my blog but I really wanted to spend this vacation enjoying the time off with my husband! We have been spending a lot of our time lazing by the pool and enjoying some much needed R & R. Wednesday morning we did […]
Yesterday was travel day, a day full of stress, excitement and the anticipation of arriving somewhere new. After a 5 hour direct flight, we arrived in Cancun – this is the first time we have flown direct to Mexico and what a difference it makes not having to connect. Customs was a breeze, even though […]
