So day two or is it, that is the question as I had a really bad nights sleep. The air conditioning was so loud and coupled with that Mike decided that tonight he was going to snore like an elephant - not that I have heard an elephant snore, ha ha but I am sure Mike could have given a herd of elephants a run for their money.
So up and a cup of tea (brewed by Mike as usual he told me to add haha) l Read on...
We decided to go back to Slappy Cakes again for the kids to make pancakes because they love doing it so much, this time with Jerry and Nancy. Then we made a quick drive up to Kapalua to see the golf course before heading back to the room and getting ready for a fun day at the resort. We all went out to the beach to play in the sand and ocean with whatever the kids came up with. Nathan wanted to bu Read on...
Rough seas greeted our first day out. We were running though what is known as the Tongue of the Ocean, the Bahamas passage between Andros Island to the west and New Providence, Exuma and Long Island to the east. Its called the Tongue because a deep sea trench makes a curled formation between the islands. As seas were rough and the ship rolling, I guess the Tongue was giving us a licking! Andros I Read on...
Before I begin todays activities, which were few and far between. I forgot to mention two things from last night, one probably because it was just more average food (not even picture worthy) but the other was the most exciting thing that has happened on the trip.
First, last nights dessert. The special dessert was Strawberry Shortcake. Those of you that have been reading this for a while know exa Read on...
After a pleasant night spent at the Cordoba Center Hotel we had time to organize and repack for the next leg, before leaving for a walking tour of the historic center of Cordoba. This unique city was once capital of Islamic Spain. Referred to as Spains historic cultural capital, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We found that Cordoba, like Toledo, is often a study in contrasts: a histo Read on...
We knew we had a long travel day (4 hours) today so slept in a bit in Liverpool. After a nice breakfast at the hotel, we hit the road.
Most of our drive today was on motorways. Since today was about driving, heres what weve learned about UK driving.
1. Lane markings are only suggestions. You can wander across the lanes if someone is parked in your lane or it just feels right.

Nathan here, after surviving the great Sa Pa shidd of Saturday. Essentially Ive been working with this random dude on Whatsapp whenever we look into getting a private car who initially arranged our airport transfer on arrival that I purchased on bookaway.com . The price quotes are unbeatable; the only downside is a language barrier, so keep your phone charged and google translate at the ready. The Read on...
Occupying the northwest shoulder of the African continent, Morocco is rich with history and full of color. For some, its essence can be found in the bustling souks and walled medinas of Imperial Cities like Marrakesh and Fez. For others, the country is typified by the plunging sand dunes, camel trains, and Bedouin villages of the Sahara Desert. There is something for every kind of traveler in Moro Read on...
We had tickets to Les Mis for tonight and we didnt want to miss this one theater that we still had reservations for. The theater was set to start at 7 pm so we did have the day to play.
Zaya wanted to see the Big Ben and that seemed a good place to start. We went by the London Eye and decided that we could do that if we could finish up the other sites. We walked to Big Ben but it was covered with Read on...
