Liam Neeson has become our mascot for our trip. I think its because the theme has been Taken.  Whenever we are in scary situation we try and channel Liam. I will be at the midnight showing of Taken 2.

Ciao! We are on our train from Milan to Firenze! Everyone is very hungover and I’m pretty sure that while lugging my 80 pound suitcase I might have pulled something in my back. Reeny just threw up and it ain’t nothing but a thang. I look like I got run over by a vespa and…

Thanks to Cammie, we were treated like queens at our hotel/hostel. Because there was no WIFI in our room, I was forced to go to the empty lobby to work on Giggles. They were so concerned that we were not getting Wifi in our room. “We will call a technician and make sure that you…

I thought today was going to be productive. I woke up early, worked on Giggles in the lobby, then dropped off my way too stretched out pants/laundry at the front desk.

We were exhausted when we first got to our hotel/hostel in Milan. We took the small elevator up to our room and after getting situated, decided to go to the lobby to get the wifi. We pushed -1. We noticed that the elevator was descending very quickly. Cammie and I both fear elevators. I got…

Round two: My life sucks once again. What’s worse than the apocalypse? Armageddon. Cammie and I were on our way from Paris to Milan. This morning, I asked Cammie to pack my make up bag in her big suitcase since I have zero room in my 80-pound bag. I also wanted her to carry it…

We grabbed our pastries and set off for the Marais. This is what used to be the Jewish Quarter of Paris. If I could live anywhere it would be in the Marais. Everyone is fashionable and the streets are lined with fabulous boutiques. When you go here, you have to get a falafel. We waited…
