A Quick Update Before We Go...

We get up tomorrow morning and head back home from Heathrow (through DFW). Our three week blur of a trip is pretty much at an end! It’s been great, but it will also be nice to get back to Austin and everything there (people/things/eating in a manner

Someone Driving Us For A Change

The last full day we spent in the south of France was in Avignon, where Kelly already filled everyone in on our hotel. When planning the trip, I had originally considered staying in Avignon for a few days, as it has some sights of its own, and would be a

Rewind a Bit: Monaco and Nice

Due to not having any pictures uploaded for these two, we hadn’t commented on our time in Monaco or Nice yet. We hit Monaco when we were still in Eze, as it is very close. Our hotel is close enough to Monaco that they have packages for the annual

A Tad More Luberon

I managed to upload some more photos shot on my phone when we have been out and about in Paris, as the 4G data service I get when roaming town is much faster than the hotel wifi. A few more shots that I would have included in the earlier post.

A Too-Short Time in the Luberon

We’re a bit behind on posting; we have even had images uploaded for about 2 days, awaiting a post, but keep getting prevented from posting: staying up too late to write at night and spotty network connectivity (especially on the Avignon – Paris TGV ride). I have a bunch more

Goodbye to Italy, Hello to France

On Sunday, we had to finally say goodbye to Italy and make our way to France. It wasn’t as straightforward as just hopping in the car and driving over; we’d returned our car on Friday in La Spezia on our way to Vernazza. Being Sunday, local car rental

After breakfast, we wandered around our hotel (the Gianni Franzi) a bit to explore some of the decks that we could see but didn’t get to the day before. We found a great one really close to our room, with a bunch of chairs and sweet views. [https://ramblings.

Last Full Tuscany Day

It’s later than I’d planned, so this post should be less wordy than the last one. We started off today with breakfast here at San Lorenzo, which they do each morning from 8-10. They put out some pastries and cereal, and will make espresso drinks and eggs for

We Made It

I write this from our agritourismo in Volterra, ready to crash from the first day of our trip. We left Austin shortly after noon on Tuesday, May 10, and landed in Pisa right about noon (Pisa time) today. We had layovers in Dallas and London (Heathrow). Flying overnight to LHR

The Honeymoon Is Fully Booked

As of today (April 2, 2016), we’ve finally finished booking all of the major pieces of our big trip. We expect to post during the trip itself, but I figured it would make sense to use this post to provide a complete overview of the trip for those that
