Two alarms were set this morning for our early flight out of CPH. Matt was reluctant to get up. He hates when we leave Europe. Perhaps I did this to him… We left right on time and took the train directly to the airport. Easy peasy. We officially avoided taxis and cars…

This may just look like a shirt and pants, buts it’s actually…. The outfit of the day! I think it works. Complete with the cardigan! Ok it was supposed to be cold in Copenhagen but it didn’t get cold(ish) until about 7pm today…  This morning we “slept in,”…

The Dress Okay so I officially went with the dress. I didn’t want to do it because I knew I would stand out. Everyone here is all covered up in dark and neutral tones. Matt and Sarah (via text) convinced me to wear the dress. Which ended up getting a lot of looks…

A False Alarm Our plane arrived only 15 minutes late, but upon landing my iPhone popped up with a delightful alert: my “luggage” had been left behind. Completely unsolicited. The map showed both my bag and Matt’s still sitting in Barcelona airport. Bologna! I thought…

Morning Departure Six hours of sleep last night — a record for this trip. We purchased quite a bit here (especially chocolate), so weighing our bags before departure was essential. Only had to shift a couple of things around to make it work. Somehow, we ended up…

 Morning Journey   Another hotel breakfast to fuel us up. Today we took a new kind of train to meet our Montserrat tour group. We’d been using the L trains for everything, but this time we needed the R train — a double-decker, slower train — to reach the…

Outfit of the day! Morning Surprise   Hoy es mi cumpleaños. Tengo 36 años.   Woke up around 6:30 this morning but it felt like we slept in. Don’t judge us, but we opted for the hotel breakfast. We needed some protein instead of pastry to start the day, and…

Outfit of the day: Dark Feminine and Simple El Tren  Today was our long train ride from Paris to Barcelona. We arrived at the train station almost an hour before departure. I wanted to make sure I could find our train and seats. When we got to the platform, we…

Fun Stats: Ignore the laziness trend in the days leading up to travel. We’re just going to say that I set my phone down while running around and packing, ok? Paris is not handicapped accessible. Paris is not for those with reduced mobility. I suppose if you have a car…

Morning Start Great news! My feet both worked today, although a bit sore! I have overnighted the good juju to those that helped. This morning was an early one for us. Last night I talked to hotel reception to see how we could get to Versailles efficiently, since two…

Mona Lisa Mission Today’s agenda seemed a lot fuller than it actually was. I know that seems crazy since the Louvre really needs several days, but hear me out. Our main goal, like many Louvre goers, was simply to see the Mona Lisa up close and in person.   We…

In-Flight Entertainment Turns out 2048 is no longer in Delta’s entertainment package. Tragic. So naturally I pivoted to “Walk the Vine,” where I saved countless little chickies from being eaten by a mysterious reptile. As for Matt? I was wrong. He actually slept….

Morning Madness Our flight doesn’t leave until 5:15 p.m., a straight shot from LAX to Paris. Last night we did the final bag check, but even with my finely tuned packing list (15 years of overseas experience, thank you very much), I still looked like a madwoman…
