Where we are now (and what’s next) For the next few weeks, our blogs likely will be from Paris, though it is possible we might write one or two from Fountainebleu, Chartres or some other day trip.  At the moment, we are sitting at a café by the Pantheon.  Stephanie is still doing her French…

Where we are now Hi, it’s Stephanie. I don’t like writing about myself in the third person, so I’m announcing that I’m the one writing this post. We’ve just finished our first week in Paris and it’s been glorious. We chose a quirky 6th story walk-up (meaning, no elevator) apartment in the 5th arrondissement (neighborhood)…

Where we are now (and what’s next) We are back together again and have just arrived in France.  Michael had a truly exhausting week at Colby’s (nothing unusual happened, just trying to get everything that has to happen in person done in a week), and Stephanie used her solo time to plow through a massive…

Where we are now (and what’s next) This week marked a significant point in our journey. It was the first time Michael had to return to the States, leaving Stephanie and Colby in Plymouth. While we are not sure what to label “The Original Plan,” from fairly early on, the plan has been (and currently…

Where we are now (and what’s next) We continue enjoying Plymouth.  Michael will head back to the States on Thursday for about two weeks, while Stephanie & Colby will remain here. Exploring the World Last week was a hard, six-day work week for Stephanie and a moderate but equally long one for Michael.  We were…

Where we are now It has been so long since we last updated our blog that we have some major catch up.  As the last entry said we would, we spent five weeks in DC and Maine, with a touch of Tampa.  This time was far more crammed with activities than either of us properly…

Where we are now (and what is next) That is it, our month long trek through Ireland is over.  Today, we flew back to DC and our primary refrain seems to be a very whiny, “I don’t wanna go back”.  Ireland is cold and rainy, but also beautiful, with the friendliest people, and we found…

By Stephanie I need to back up and fill in a few fun moments Michael forgot to mention about our arrival in Kilkenny. First, our Airbnb host could not be nicer – Frank picked us up at the train station and gave us a driving tour around town before showing us to our flat. As…

By Michael On Sunday, we packed up and left our Galway home so that we could take the train to our new home in Kilkenny (Stephanie worked the whole way on reports for work).  As we wound down the first step of our trip, we contemplated some lessons learned so far. First, I need to…

By Michael As we mentioned earlier, we rarely leave the shared work space (Market Street PorterHouse, in case you are ever looking for a great place to work in Galway) until between 8:00 and 9:00 pm, and most restaurants were closed by between 6:00 and 8:00 pm on weekdays.  This even goes for the pubs,…
