Whether you can read the language or not, signs in other countries are often incomprehensible. Yesterday my job had me working on languages that do not use Latin characters – namely, I was looking at Cyrillic for quite some time. If you’ve never seen Cyrillic, just imagine that someone took the regular alphabet, added some numbers, [...]
After an amazing flight via business class from Frankfurt to Dubai on Lufthansa, we arrived around 11:30pm local time. The airport was enormous and new, much like everything in Dubai. The arrivals hall, however, was a mess. Dave and I stood in line for over 45 minutes waiting for our turn to clear the border, [...]
We awoke this morning at the Hilton Hotel at Stansted Airport outside of London. We did manage to catch the 9am Stansted Express and were at London Liverpool Street station by 9:50. We hopped on the tube to Embankment, walked to Charing Cross to store our luggage for a hefty £8 for each bag, and [...]
Today was a glorious day to sleep in at the Casa di Amici hostel in Central Palermo. Claudia at the front desk was extremely helpful and would store our bags and keep my laptop (Tapuach, Hebrew for “apple”) in a safe place. She even gave us a key so that we could get back into the [...]
Today we explore Sicily! We would be picking up a car in Palermo and driving to Mezzoiuso, Dave’s ancestral hometown, then onwards to Corleone before returning our car back in Palermo that evening. We had to get up slightly early to go to pick up the car at the Targarent Office on Via Piradello. First though, time [...]
Today was my first day in the beautiful country of Italy! We were going to Sicily specifically, as part of our long weekend in Europe, and would be experiencing all of the delicious restaurants and romantic landscapes that Italy has to offer. The day started in downtown London. We were up at 6am, out of [...]
After over five years, today I am returning to London! I had studied abroad here as a Junior at Boston University back in 2004 and had taken classes, worked an internship and explored the entire UK. As I bought a ticket I kept thinking how much things had changed in my own life over the [...]
We woke up today in Split, Croatia at the Silver Central Hostel. We had a lot of driving to do to make it all the way back to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, but little did we know we’d also be experiencing a Croatian hospital today. Mike had been throwing up all night and we needed [...]
Sleeping in a real bed at the Hotel Splendito in Kotor, Montenegro sure was a treat after 17 hours of driving yesterday. It was windy all night and the shutters were slamming against our windows. When it was finally morning, Dave and I stood at the door of our room and braced ourselves to open the [...]
Today was pretty much the longest day ever. We drove through 4 countries: Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro!! We all got up early at our hostel in Belgrade, Serbia, the Chillton Hostel, and the plan was to leave at 8am. We hoped to end the day in Kotor, Montenegro. See below for our road [...]
Today would be leg 1 of our road trip. We will be driving from Zagreb, Croatia to Belgrade, Serbia. Dave and I got up early to get the car at the Sheraton in downtown Zagreb. We walked there from Fulir Hostel and it only took about 20 minutes. After the requisite checks and signatures, we were in [...]
We were all so so tired this morning but managed to drag ourselves out of bed to make it to the airport early. Dave and I were leaving for Zagreb but Mike and Nicole were leaving later to take a train there because the airline messed up. We hopped in a cab and made it [...]
