After leaving Sogndal we found ourselves heading north to our next location in Stryn. On the way up we decided to detour to Kjenndalsbreen, an offshoot of the Jotunheimen Glacier to check out the waterfall and glacier. The drive here was beautiful and when arrived we were surprised that we were the only ones here [...]

A Western Fjord Adventure
We spent several days in Sogndal staying at the Sogndal Fjordpanorama Airbnb with amazing views of the fjord. This was our base for a few days as we explored the area of Flåm and taking in what it had to offer. While in Flåm we took a boat cruise on the Nærøyfjord and were amazed [...]
Bergen to Sogndal and in between
We flew from West Sussex to Bergen, Norway and spent time walking the city center and checking out the harbor views of Bryggen. Rain is pretty typical in Bergen so we knew what to expect when we landed. We only had the afternoon and evening in Bergen before we left early the next morning for [...]
Anniversary Trip Update 2: Coldplay, Big Ben and Hamilton
Day 2, our reason for traveling to the UK, Coldplay at Wembley Stadium. When they announced they would be performing 10 shows at Wembley I just had to try. This resulted in 2 straight days of 2AM wake up calls to try and buy tickets, and ended in one tired, frustrated and empty handed fan. [...]
Day 1: Wembley: The search for the missing VRBO
Our vacation got off to a rough start soon after arriving in London. We were picked up by driver and headed to Wembley where we’d be spending 2 nights during our quick stopover. We had a few hours between getting picked up and when we could check into our VRBO that we thought we’d just [...]
A Trip to the Mile High City!
Time to cross another new destination off our travel list. Back in October 2024, Coldplay announced a US leg of their Music of the Spheres tour and I convinced Jason to try to get tickets with me. Since all cities were going on sale the same day, we made a plan to each try and [...]
Cinema Paradiso – A New (but old) Style of Movie Theater
"Why would you see a movie on vacation?" While having breakfast with some of the other guests at the Crosshill geo domes, a couple told us about their evening checking out the local movie theater. Now seeing a movie while on vacation isn’t normally something we’d do, however based on their recommendations, we just had [...]
Wellington to Twizel & places in between
Our crossover from the North to South Island Our Wellington stopover was a quick 24 hours so we tried to see as much as we could while we were there. We rode the cable car to the summit for the views of the city, walked the waterfront to Queen’s Wharf and lively Cuba Street that [...]
“Adventure of a Lifetime” – Coldplay
“I did something crazy…” This is how I told Jason I bought concert tickets to see Coldplay in New Zealand a year out. I can’t fail to mention that I didn’t tell him I bought these tickets until 2 weeks after I’d already purchased them, knowing that if for some reason he decided he didn’t [...]
Sky couch New Zealand Air
We flew out on Air New Zealand and decided to try out their sky couch option. Basically you purchase a row of 3 seats and they fold out into a couch and include a pad, blanket and pillows. Idea: 10/10 for a 13 hour flight when sleeping is a challenge Value: 6/10 as it’s MUCH [...]
