Back in the USA

Amsterdam (5 of 15)

And just like that, boom, we’re back in the US! It’s been a whirlwind month since our last update, to the point that it’s hard for me to believe looking back that just a month has passed. We knew we were leaving Gozo when our lease was up at the beginning of September and had [...]

Back in Sunny Malta

Man at Sunset Polar Filter (1 of 1)

Finally getting back home to Gozo after 2 months of living out of suitcases was definitely a huge relief, although arriving to an abnormal heat wave and new noisy neighbors has definitely curbed our enthusiasm. We knew we’d be in for some temperature shock coming from Wales to Malta but it’s been pushing 100 F [...]

South Wales Valley Tour

Wales Tour (84 of 87)

We didn’t have much time in Wales before heading back home to Malta so we decided to spend our first day exploring Cardiff, with the second day devoted to a South Wales Valley Tour through Jan and John of Where When Wales. Some travel junkies thumb their noses at the idea of doing guided tours [...]

Bouncing Around Cardiff

The library in Cardiff

With just a few days to visit Cardiff and Wales before finally heading home, we knew our trip to Cardiff was going to be on the brisk and quick side. The train ride from Salisbury wasn’t quite the peaceful journey through the rolling countryside hills that we hoped for, as another earlier train had broken [...]

Salisbury and Stonehenge

Stonehenge

When we booked our trip back to the US in May we didn’t book our return from London to Malta, giving ourselves a little time to explore and travel some before heading back home assuming we were still up for it at the time. We’d been to London several times in the last year but [...]

Hopping in the Time Machine

Las Vegas

It’s true; we’ve been terrible, terrible bloggers. I blame it all on Vegas. My freelance work usually takes me to Vegas for a long stretch every summer for the World Series of Poker, and this year we were there from May 26-July 16. If you’ve ever thought about visiting Vegas for that long…don’t. There were [...]

Sorry for the Mess, Mr. Hanks

juliana

Just a very quick post as we’re off to Terminal 4 at Heathrow in less than an hour for our flight to the US, but we had to post with a pretty funny story from the last few days. On the 24th we hopped over to the main island of Malta and spent the night [...]

We’re Alive, I Swear!

Saints for sale in Victoria Gozo

Apologies for the lack of posts here lately but we’ve been knee-deep in work and prepping for our upcoming trip back to the US. We’re both very excited to see friends and family again after 6+ months abroad but packing and heading off for nearly 2 months is also a little intimidating, as far as [...]

Day Trip to the Azure Window

Azure Window (53 of 84)

One thing that’s a little embarrassing about our six months here on the tiny island of Gozo is that there’s a still a lot we haven’t seen and done — not a real bragging point when the whole island is less than 70 square kilometers — about the size of Manhattan. We’ve got some good [...]

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!

Poker-13

Vegas is just about as far removed from Gozo as you can get but that’s where we’re headed at the end of the month, returning to the US on May 27 and sticking around until July 19, when we’ll hop on a jet plane and head back to Gozo (with a pit stop in London [...]
