Jan 17th: Last night we had a funny jungle adventure. We got all snuggled up in our new bed only to realize there were two cicadas in our room! Cicadas are pretty large insects with large bulging eyes and they make the LOUDEST sound I’ve ever heard an insect make. They fly around constantly just…
Jan 15th: January 15th is supposed to be the saddest day of the year – according to someone who had the time to figure this out I guess. But pointing it out this year meant I get to say – not for us! We woke up in paradise! The jungle is far noisier than any…
The time you’ve been waiting for! We made it, finally, to 2018 in our blog! Happy New Year to those who have been following along 🙂 Back in Ireland, we said a few goodbyes. Including a very special surprise at the airport by our dear friend Al (always bringing smiles and laughter wherever we meet!)…
December 30th: Oh I’m sorry, were you expecting me to stop talking about Guinness? A pint of gat – another word for Guinness. As I write this I am craving one, wishing I had kept my promise to myself to keep my blog in as close to real time as possible, so that I would…
December 27th: It’s that time in our lives when everyone around us is getting married, having babies, and building homes. There seems to be at least 3 weddings a year! With Clover being from Ireland, myself from Canada, and family all over the world, it’s near impossible to attend all the celebrations! So when it…
Dec 24th: Ah Christmas Eve. The beginning of a few days of eating, sleeping, drinking, and sitting by the fire in our joggers. The table had been set for a few days, with all the décor necessary to make it a very traditional Christmas. The fireplace seemed to be on for most of the afternoons…
This post is short and sweet, and mostly a shout out to all the wonderful people I met in Dublin who really made me feel a part of the family and although it was a short time together I still miss them till this day! Dec 23rd: After breakfast in the hostel, we checked out…
As we have been behind in our blogging, I thought adding some dates might help! Dec 18th: Just added another terrible sleep to the list this week, but was happy to have woken up at ‘home’. Luggage took its sweet time but it was now in Ireland! Saskia was nice enough to hop on the…
Our story continues….this post is from December – enjoy! I woke up just the same as I have every day the last few weeks. No real thoughts, just actions. There hasn’t been a lot of time for thinking as we have never been so busy in our entire lives. But this morning was a little…
Ah all the goodbyes. Toronto seems to have me coming back over and over again, which really makes all the goodbyes more like ‘see you later’. I am grateful to the friends who have attended my farewell parties, all 3 of them, and still made it to the 4th. Thank you for your commitment! This…
When things work out perfectly in life, I always get a little skeptical. I believe in balance and so when things seem too good to be true, it feels like something’s off. However, what I didn’t realize, is this thought process was flawed. It really simply comes down to your outlook. How you view the…
When we first decided we were going to make a big life change, we didn’t know just how big it was going to be, but we were excited nonetheless. As we are both very fond of traveling, it was no surprise that before we settled anywhere new that we had to explore a little first….
