Well, I have been on the mountain for two days of skiing, and all I have to say is "Wow!!" The conditions have been amazing, and I have been surprised how easy the skiing skills have returned to me. It has truly been like riding a bike, but I must say that my legs are not as young as they used to be. After an aggressive two days on the slopes, my legs feel like jello. Maybe, I will take it a

I have an almost-paralytic fear of heights. Often, I try to face this fear in the hopes that one day I will conquer it. Never works. Take, for example, the gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain. "Witness breathtaking views from every direction." (I suppose hyperventilating is a synonym for "breathtaking"') "Eight minutes to jaw-dropping views!" Eight minutes of sheer terror was more like it

Banff is breathtaking. It is beautiful beyond words. I found myself repeating "Wow!" throughout the day. Flying over the mountains in Canada was cool, the ride to Banff was spectacular, and the town is incredible. It is surrounded by small mountains, covered in snow. We walked through town to a path by a river. It's funny how the town was crowded, but down by the river was peaceful. Breathtaking

This is Eric posting at the moment. We just arrived in the town of Banff. It is breathtaking here. I am so excited to be going skiing again after about a 9 year hiatus. Jenny is a wonderful wife to agree to come here for spring break. The fact that she seems as excited as I am reconfirms that I married an amazing woman. Well, I will post more when there is more to tell. We are going to explore

Our cruise was an amazing experience. In fact, it was so incredible that we've needed a few days to digest it all before blogging again. We were on Star Clipper, which is a tall sailing ship, with a maximum of 170 passengers. We got really lucky, and only around 80 passengers were on our cruise. So it never felt crowded. Two of our good friends, Rob and Courtney, met us in Athens and joined us on

Many people have asked us how we chose Greece for our vacation. It started with an article, from of all places, Cooking Light magazine. Readers voted for the most relaxing vacation and it happened to be a Star Clippers cruise through the Greek Isles. I showed the article to Eric and we both thought it sounded fantastic. I then requested a brochure from Star Clippers, and we were hooked. So we

I know that we haven't updated this in a while. No, we are not in a Turkish prison nor swept up in a Greecian protest, but rather have been busy enjoying the wonderful cruise and beautiful beaches of our post cruise adventures. I am going to keep this short because the battery on my phone is running low, but rest assured, we are fine and having a wonderful time and will post more later.

First thought, I am so glad Jenny's bag finally made and apparently made a trip to Rhodes as well, very exciting. Meeting up with Rob and Courtney for dinner was great fun. I think one of the fascinating things about traveling with friends is seeing them in a context in which you are not used to seeing them. And hanging out at a Greek restaurant with the Acropolis in the background and the World

I was so tired last night that I couldn't blog. We had anamazing evening climbing to the Acropolis and then wandering through the Agora. We walked all over the place, over 8 miles in the evening, and finally stopped at an outdoor restaurant and watched the lights come on at the Parthenon. I wish I could upload a picture. Today was an easy day as we had laundry to do. So we relaxed, read books,

Good afternoon! We are taking a break from the heat for awhile. Today is the hottest day so far, in the high 90's. Our trip to Nafplio was cancelled, which was OK because it gave us a chance to sleep in and go shopping. After a leisurely breakfast at a cafe near our apartment, we headed to the stores. There is a fun, touristy area called Plaka which we walk through to get to the clothing stores.

Despite plane delays, rerouting through Amsterdam, a five hour lay over, and lost luggage, I am really enjoying myself here in Athens. Now that maybe the clean underwear talking (my bag has arrived but as you know Jenny's hasn't), but I think it is more likely that the energy of this amazing city is infectious. In the States, they call New York the city that never sleeps. Well, Athens has that

Despite the luggage drama, and really, what can I do but laugh?, we are enjoying Athens. The one draw back is that it is very very HOT! (I know I should be used to it living in Houston, but it is intense!) Thankfully, we are taking our time, stopping to rest in the shade and people watch, and drinking wonderfully refreshing slushy drinks.After a great night's sleep, we ventured out to explore

The good news is that Eric's baggage has arrived in Athens, and is on a delivery truck scheduled to get to us this evening. I am very relieved for Eric, as he had nothing with him, and is already feeling gross and miserable today. He's been in the same clothes since early Monday morning. (It's early evening on Wednesday here now).The bad news is that no one knows where my bag is. Continental

We made it! Big sigh of relief! After 28 hours of traveling, we finally checked into our studio apartment, had dinner, and wandered to the base of the Acropolis. Our luggage, however, is still in New York. Actually, it should be on its way now. Hopefully it makes it to us tomorrow afternoon because we really need our toiletries. Even though I brought a small carry-on with a change of

Well, we are thoroughly exhausted and anxious to board our flight so that we can try to sleep for a couple of hours. We have, however, enjoyed figuring out a couple of things about Amsterdam:1. The toilet paper in the bathrooms in the airport is bright orange. I'm talking Halloween orange. We had quite a lengthy discussion about why on Earth would the toilet paper be orange, and then we

If you are reading this post, scratching your head, and thinking, "I didn't know they were going to Amsterdam!," neither did we! But here we are... all part of our travel adventures from Houston. It is a beautiful day here, and we wish we had a longer lay over so that we could go explore the city. As it is, our 4 hour layover isn't enough time. But it is ample time to explore the airport,

We'll have to save the story of our advetures in the Houston airport for another post... we are finally on a plane...to.....Amsterdam!!!! Don't ask. More to come. For now, we are just shaking our heads and laughing our way through the day.

I feel like we are on a reality tv show and scrambling to make our connection. We are still in Houston. Delays compounded by mechanical problems (how reassuring!) because they've changed the type of plane we're on, they changed our seats. Now we are in the very last row. We will literally have 20 minutes to deplane, run to the opposite side of the terminal ("No more than 10 minutes" we were told)

A day of travel is always filled with excitement, eagerness, and a little bit of trepidation as well. Will there be any delays? (Yes, 35 minutes as of right now.)Oh no, will we make our connection??? (Hoping and praying we do!)Will our luggage make it? (Not according to the flight attendent waiting behind us. He thinks it will end up in Phoenix with the nice plane that was supposed to take us to

It's hard to believe that in a couple of days we will be in Greece; a land with so much rich history and tradition. I remember our 6th grade history teacher made movies with us acting out the various myths and stories. (I was a soldier hidden in the Trojan Horse and she had to keep telling me to stop smiling because soldiers wouldn't have smiled while sneaking into Troy. I like to think they

Hello again! We have about 20 minutes to kill before we board a train back to London, and we found an internet cafe. This has been a wonderful day. Bath is fascinating mix of the ancient Roman, medieval, and the modern. We visited an ancient Roman bath which is truly an amazing ruin. The pool itself is a serene area open to the sunlight that was fun just to lounge about and relax near by. The

After a short nap and showers, we wandered around the neighborhood and found a great Asian fusion place for dinner, called Dim t (on Winton Street - so I don't forget). The food was very delicious and perfect for the both of us - Eric was able to enjoy dim sum, while I enjoyed pad thai and gyoza. For dessert we had chocolate sukiyaki, which was basically a chocolate fondue with fruit and

I am going to keep this post fairly short, but it has been fascinating to be in the country where I spent six and a half years of my childhood. I remember somethings that we are seeing. Others were not even around, and somethings seem like new even though they may not be.I think the thing that I enjoy, other than being here with my best friend, is being in a walking city again.

Hi Everyone,Sorry, but we are unable to post pictures at the moment. For now, our tales of travel will have to suffice. First off, I'd like to give a plug to Continental Airlines. In this day and age of airlines skimping and charging for every little thing, Continental appears to be one of the last hold outs. Not only did we not have to pay for our checked luggage, but we were served dinner (

We have made it safely back home. We'll be working on adding our stories to this blog, for now here are some of our favorite pictures:This is our hotel room. There were fresh flowers on the bed, vanity and in the bathroom when we first arrived. A towel in the shape of a swan was on the bed. At night, our bed was turned down and chocolates were on the pillows. This is the view from our balcony.

Good evening everyone! We are very disappointed that we can't post pictures tonight because there was a weird island-wide power fluctuation/outagae and now the computer is not working very well.

The computer we are using is very slow. So I am going to keep the journal entries short, and add more details when we get home. We rented a jeep today and drove around the island, as well as found one of the best snorkelling spots in the world. Yes, I can make this claim since I have snorkelled in a few other places. This, by far, was my favorite! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. In

It' s not often that I've experienced the instant sensation of stress melting away as soon as I set foot somewhere, but that is exactly how I felt when we arrived to our hotel. Aaaahhhh. It is beautiful here! All the frustrations, etc. of the ending of a school year and all that that entailed immediately left my spirit as I gazed over the most gorgeous tourquoise water I think I have ever seen.

Well, let me start by saying that dinner at Perilla was fabulous! It was an incredible meal in a restaurant with warm ambience. The dinner would have rated 5 stars, except for my dorky moment of the evening. Now, prior to going to the restaurant, I had a conversation with Eric about how I would absolutely not make a big deal if I should happen to see Harold. After all, he is a person just like

Hi Everyone,We tried to blog last night but got to the cafe 3 minutes after it closed. Day 4 was a lot of fun. We went to the American Museum of Natural History and spent several hours wandering around the museum. It was very enjoyable, except for the long line to get in (even though we had City Passes! The pay line was going faster than our "speed right through" line!)From the museum, we headed

Hi Everyone,We continue to stay busy enjoying the City. Yesterday was a cold and rainy day. After we wrote in our blog, we were on a quest for brunch. Who knew that Sunday brunch was "the thing" to do in NY? Every restaurant we went to had an incredible wait. Finally Eric said that he found a place for us. It was called the High Life Bar. It looked like one of those sketchy bars with darkened

Hi Everyone! Sorry we didn't blog yesterday, but we didn't make it back to this end of town until very late. So here is a recap of what was keeping us so busy...Aaaah, vacation! What can I say? It is so nice to sleep in and not feel rushed in the morning. And that's exactly what we did! I think it was almost 11:30 a.m. before we finally made it out of our hotel. We strolled a bit and found a

Hi Everyone!We made it safely to New York, and took a taxi from the airport to our hotel. It was about an hour's ride, and it was fun to travel through the City and take it all in. We are staying in the Upper Westside, near Central Park. I love this part of the City. It reminds me so much of San Francisco, with lots of fun, chic restaurants and shops. I was here almost 5 years ago with my good

We're headed to New York for Spring Break. Both of us have been to The Big Apple before, so we are looking forward to enjoying the City, without feeling like we have to see or do a lot. We are also excited to meet up with our friend Jess, whom we met in Italy on the island of Capri. We have enjoyed keeping in touch with her and it will be fun to see her again! If the weather cooperates, we are

Well, I must say this has been a fabulous trip. I have enjoyed this whole experience immensely, and I think I also enjoyed this even more because I was with my best friend, my wife. While I enjoyed some experiences more than others, I wouldn't have changed any of them. Each experience gives me insight into the kind of things I would enjoy doing again should we plan a similar trip, and on the flip

Well, it's hard to believe that 5 weeks have passed so quickly. But they were incredible weeks filled with adventure, magic and wonder.Last night was the perfect culmination of our trip, we found a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant away from the touristy part of town, and enjoyed a fabulous dinner. I had to laugh, though, because I noticed that the lady was cooking with a box of Barilla pasta -

We are having a wonderful time in Venice. This is such a cool city. The one down side about today is that it is Saturday, and the crowds really seemed to have increased. I think a lot of locals come in for the weekend. The main pathways are simply packed with people, but like so many tourist destinations if you are willing to get a little of the beaten path it is not quite as crowded.Anyway,

Hi Everyone! Well, I must say that I really love Venice! We have so much fun wandering around and letting the city take us where it may. As Rick Steves puts it, this is an island, so you really can't get lost. We took a canal cruise yesterday and got to see the lagoon (huge!!) and the Adriatic Sea. It is a pretty tourquoise color (I'm wishing I had that box of Crayolas that my dad has mentioned,

Good Morning Dear Family and Friends!First, I want to thank all of you for your wonderful messages and wishes. It means a lot to us to have so much love and support from our friends and family. We've talked about all of you this entire trip and wished there was a way that we could bring you along with us. I guess our blog is our best attempt. Although we are concocting plans to rent a big villa

Well, we are now in Venice, and I must say that I am enjoying the city immensely. I was a little worried about Venice because I had heard that the canals used to be a brown color and smell, but the canals are a beautiful blue color and there is no smell. This place is so much fun. I have made the comment that it is like a big amusement park for adults. There are no cars, you walk or boat

Yesterday was an amazing day. We went to the island of Capri. It gets a little crowded, but it is beautiful place. Another place that I would recommend if you are planning a trip to Italy. We took a boat ride around the island that was simply amazing. I don't think that I would ever tire of looking at the rugged coastline and the color of the water. I don't know if any of the pictures will do the

Buon Journo! It is our Anniversary morning and we are having a relaxing day- getting laundry done and blog posts. We'll go down to the harbor this afternoon and swim in the beautiful Meditteranean Sea. On Monday, we were so tired from our Pompeii/Vesuvius adventure that we had what I call a "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Day"- meaning that we layed out by the pool and had sodas delivered to

Well, I am having a wonderful time here, but I am a little worn out today. I know, I know I am usually the gung-ho guy, but we spent almost the entire day out in the heat yesterday hiking up Mt. Vesuvius (Europe's only active volcano) and around Pompeii. Both experiences were amazing, and I recommend them to anyone traveling to Italy, but if possible, I would try to do them in cooler weather.The

Well, we didn't post to our blog yesterday because we didn't get home until very late (in fact we didn't even eat dinner until after 10 pm, although that is not late by European standards.)As I've mentioned before, it is extremely hot here. We knew that both Vesuvius and Pompeii would have us in the direct sun for most of the day. So Eric came up with a very good plan to hike Vesuvius first,

This is another place that I would recommend to someone who is planning a trip to Italy. I am looking foward to spending the next several days here and celebrating our anniversary. It is a wonderful backdrop for our second anniversary.I hope everyone

Oh wow, what a beautiful place we have come to! Sorrento is 70 minutes south of Naples, by train. And when you arrive here, you are greeted with incredible vistas, a fun town, and cruise ships in the bay. We had about a 20 minute walk from the train station to our hotel, and we really enjoyed it. It's such a fun town to walk through - so many different kinds of shops, selling all sorts of

Well, it's our last night in Rome. We've really enjoyed our time here, this is a great city. We had a very relaxing morning - slept in and then went to get our hair cut. I said all along that I was going to get it chopped off on this trip, and Eric's was getting kind of thick and unruly, so we decided that Rome seemed like a good place to get our hair done. There was a great place a few doors

Our time in Rome is coming to a close. It is a little bitter sweet. I am sad to be leaving this wonderful city, but I am glad to moving back to the coast in Serranto.We started the morning with a low-key and fun experience. Jenny and I both got our hair cut. It was fun trying to communicate with the stylist, and it was definitely an experience much different from getting my haircut in the U.S.

I am having a wonderful time in Rome. Coming here as a kid is one thing, but as an adult I have a greater appreciation for the history and sights of this wonderful place. This place is another walking city where everywhere you look there is some interesting point. But today we focused are early explorations on the Ancient Roman sights (the Collesium (spelling?), and the Roman Forum), which I have

Hi Everyone,Eric and I are working on two separate computers because the internet cafe closes in 20 minutes, so there may be some overlap.First, I have to tell you about the rest of our day yesterday. We had a fabulous, romantic dinner at a place called That's Amore. Now, of course this place was geared towards tourists, but we still thought it was so much fun. Red and white checkered table

Eric: We arrived in Rome today, and we are very happy to be here. The room we are staying in is small but very nice. It is extremely clean and secure. Our hostess has been extremely helpful, giving us all kinds of information about the city. We have been wandering around the streets of Rome and seeing some amazing things, such as the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps which are just minutes

Well, I must say this place is awesome. These five peaceful little coastal towns are amazing (even though some are a little more peaceful than others). We have enjoyed exploring this region immensly. Today, we took a boat ride from our town of Riomaggiro to the town of Monterosso. You could clearly see the towns from the boat as we passed by them. The water is beautiful and clear, and it was yet

Yesterday we had a fabulous day with my old Big Sur Marathon Relay teammate Lillian, and her husband Don. Lillian used to work with my mom, but moved to Italy for a wonderful job opportunity. It was fun to see her again, and she took us to some incredible places. First, we saw Lerici, the city she is moving to, with its gorgeous harbor and castle. Then we went to the town of Carrara, which is

Hello again! This time we are in Italy in a wonderful little town called Riomaggiore. It is beautiful here. I wish we could download pictures, but at the moment we can't. We will try again maybe from another internet point.We traveled through Milan to get here. Milan was nice in its own way, but it is a city. I am glad not to be staying there. This place is amazing. We are staying overlooking the

Good morning everyone. After a long day of travel yesterday, we were rewarded with beautiful vistas of the Mediterranean Sea. Ahhh, the wonderful sea breeze. Our room is literally built into a cliff side facing the ocean. We were lulled to sleep by waves crashing into the rocks. It was heavenly.And it was much needed. I don't think I ever mentioned how clean Switzerland is. Every single public

One last post before we leave... we actually saw the Matterhorn! We were headed out to dinner, and stopped to talk to the man running our hotel. We were telling him about our hike and how we had only wished for better weather and to catch a glimpse of the Matterhorn. He told us to look out the window, and sure enough, the clouds had cleared long enough for us to see it. We ran upstairs and

Today was another amazing, although cold and wet, day. Jenny and I did another mountain hike which had some amazing views even though it was rainy and cloudy. I was actually pleasantly surprised how far we could see given the weather. For a while there, we thought we could see at least part of the Matterhorn. I think one of the highlights of my day though was coming back to a warm hotel room and

Ah, so we've finally figured out what makes Swiss hot chocolate so yummy. First of all, it must be made with milk, never water. And the secret ingredient..... you add a little square of swiss chocolate, a bit larger than a postage stamp, to the bottom of your mug and stir until it is melted. It makes the cocoa richer and sweeter. And, if you're feeling really adventurous, you can try flavored

Well, we are here in Zermatt, and it is beautiful here. The only downside is that this place is like Disneyland compared to the sleepy little town of Lauterbrunnen, but we are settling down nicely. The surprising thing is that the town is much more relaxing in the evening. We just got back from a nice dinner and walk around the town. The views around this town are spectacular. I am really looking

Quote of the day: "Eric, our toilet doesn't have a seat on it!" This is what I said when we walked into out bathroom, and then I realized what I was looking at. I've heard of bidets before, but I think it's funny that we are 16 days into our trip and this is the first time we've seen one.So, here we are in Zermatt. I don't know yet if I hate it or love it. It's just that kind of a crazy place. It

Well, another great day in Europe. Initially, I was a little bummed about leaving the mountains and coming to a city (Lausanne, pop. 150,000 to 300,000 (greater Lausanne area), but Lake Geneva is a beautiful area. Today was much clearer and we could actually see the mountains across the lake. We took a lake cruise (sounds spoiled doesn't it? especially since we were in first class) which was

OK, maybe Robin Leech wouldn't consider our day so luxiourious, but we sure felt like a king and a queen! First, I have to say to anyone headed to Europe, get a railpass. There are a confusing amount to choose from, but it is worth it to have one. Like, for example, being able to take a boat cruise on Lake Geneva for 3 hours and not have to pay anything for it, because it's covered by your

I am not sure if five is the right number, but who is keeping track besides me. Another wonderful day full of unexpected surprises. When Jenny first proposed the idea of going to a cheese factory and a chocolate factory, I wasn't entirely certain what to expect, but I must say it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed them both immensely. But the highlight of my day today was exploring the medival castle in

Well, we've lost track of the days, so I can't say "Day such and such was amazing!", but whichever day this was was quite an adventure for us. We traveled to the town of Gruyeres, where they make the delicious cheese. (We learned that the reason the cheese is so delicious is because the cows eat over 75 different kinds of plants and grasses, including the vanilla orchid.) We learned this from our

Hey everyone! We have arrived in Lausanne on Lake Geneva. It is very pretty here although not as beautiful as the mountains. We walked around by the lake and had a nice dinner together. The lake is amazing. It is massive. We traveled by a lake we thought was large when we first entered Switzerland. When we went to Interlaken, there are two lakes (which you can see in at least a few of our

We have made it to the city of Lausanne. It was so hard to arrive in a bustling city after being in the serene valley for 4 days, although we picked a good day to leave, as it was raining. So the weather made it perfect for a 4 hour train ride through the mountains, meadows and farm land. Lake Geneva feels like France again, the architecture is different and French is the primary language here.On

Well, I am at a loss for words to describe the beauty and wonder of this place as you can see from this picture. Come here for yourself to experience it first hand.Take care everyone. We will be writing next from Lake Geneva.P.S. Julie say hi to my students for me if you see them again.

I just told Eric that I feel too tired to type anything. He's beenat the internet cafe uploading the pictures, while I've been backat the hotel taking a shower. The hiking today was amazingbeyond words, but also tiring. I did want to mention anotherunexpected gem that we stumbled upon (much like the zoo in Bern.) While we were waiting for the train back to Lauterbrunnen, we heard all sorts of

Dad- tonight you need to watch The Eiger Sanction with Clint Eastwood while drinking hot chocolate to share in our day. We saw Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch. And although Eric was tempted by the technical climb to the top of Eiger, he returned to reality without too much convincing from me. It was gorgeous, and to everyone, we HIGHLY recommend a trip to Switzerland. Paris was great, and we

Well, I may not be a young maiden anymore, but it made for a good title. Can you believe this view? The clouds cleared enough for us to snap a few pictures, but then returned, bringing rain with them and interrupting our full day of hiking. I opted for the train ride back to town (instead of the 2 plus hour hike in the rain, especially if we're going to do an even longer hike tomorrow!) Eric

Well....maybe not quite the top, but close!And what an incredible day of hiking we hide. I survived the very scary gondola ride (enough so that Eric decided we are doing it again tomorrow!) I just looked straight ahead and breathed deeply, ignoring the man who was trying to get me to look at the fox and the mountain deer, called a chamois, down below. Once off the gondola, we enjoyed a
