The long journey home and back
We are back in Bijou now having arrived just over a week ago. It seems much longer because we’ve had a lot going on. Unlike our trip to the states, our return travels went according to plan. Our first flight …
What’s ahead in 2020?
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe 2019 is coming to a close! It has been a fantastic year of travel and both Steven and I are still a bit shell-shocked that we actually pulled off this whole moving to …

The Wild Atlantic Way – Part 3
When I left you last, I was teetering at the rocky outcrop summit of a hike called Diamond Hill. It was a wonderful hike with views to die for, but I decided I didn’t want to die trying to get …
The Wild Atlantic Way – Part 2
