Best or Worst Vacation.

-
Day 7 - Today's prompt Is what is your best or worst vacation. I don't think there is such thing as a bad vacation? Maybe you can go to the beach and it rains all week, but there's always something to do.

I'm going with best for today, and I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite ones. My top two are: Christmas 2010, which was spent in Charlotte, NC (where I got to see snow for the first time!) and Orlando, FL (where Pablo and I went on a "graduation present" to Universal Studios) and Summer 2014, during which we did a sort of "Eurotrip."

Our best, and my favorite vacation was the 15 days we did around Europe this summer. My sister had flown in from the states in June to visit us for a month. During that time I had planned two weeks of visiting different cities that interested us across Europe. It was the perfect excuse to visit cities that we hadn't been able to yet, and revisit a couple other.

Here is our itinerary, a summary of the two weeks the four of us traveled around Europe. 

2 Nights in Edinburgh 
Day 1 From Bremen to Edinburgh, once there we took the free tour at 14:00. 
Day 2 Day trip to visit Alnwick Castle. 
Day 3 We had breakfast and then went to the airport to go to London... → 

3 Nights in London 
Day 3/1 ...Visited an area near the hotel and ate the most expensive burgers I've ever bought at GBK. 
Day 2 We took SANDEMANs free tour. 
Day 3 We took the Harry Potter walking tour.
Day 4 Visited more places and after dinner we left for Paris... → 

Day 3 Nights in Paris 
Day 4/1 we arrived late (directly to hotel)
Day 2 - Free Tour.
Day 3 - Walked around.
Day 4 - More Paris and in the evening we went to the airport to go to Rome..→

3 Nights in Rome 
Day 4/1 slept near the airport.
Day 2 visited the colosseum and took the underground tour.
Day 3 we bought Hop On Hop off bus tickets and we visited many of the famous spots.
Day 4 More of Rome and Florence in the in the afternoon... →

2 Nights in Florence.
Day 4/1 arrived in the afternoon, we visited the 'Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore' and Piazza Michelangelo.
Day 2 the main event of the day was climbing the dome and bell tower.
Day 3: more sightseeing and in the afternoon we went to Pisa, → 

1 night in Pisa.
Day 3/1 and visited the leaning tower.
Day 2 the last day we walked around most of the city and then went to the airport to return home.

Overall it was a great vacation my favorite part was Alnwick castle and the harry potter tour in London. We need to go back to London so we can visit WB Harry Potter studios. If you're going buy the tickets as soon as you know the dates you'll be there, you won't regret it!


What is your best vacation?

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading? I just finished reading Accidental Tourist and am currently reading The Girl on the Train. What is your favorite food to cook? My all time favorite recipe is Enchiladas Suizas , but sometimes I settle for Chilaquiles (as tortillas de Maíz/corn tortillas) aren't found...

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
