Travel
We've done a great deal of international traveling in recent years. We enjoy seeing new places and finding out how different cultures work. We also take lots of pictures; you'll find links to those along with details of our trips below.
2010 - Greece & Belgium
We decided to get one more European trip in this year, so in October we head to Greece for eight days before moving on to Belgium for five days. Plans are to hit Athens and the Peloponnese, then the island of Crete in Greece. Belgium will consist of mainly Bruges and Brussels.
2010 - Ireland & Spain
In March 2010 we made our way to Ireland for a week, which included being in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day. After leaving Dublin, we took a short flight over to Spain for seven days, seeing Madrid, Segovia, and Barcelona.
2009 - Italy
In September 2009 we embarked on a 2-week journey to Italy. We flew in and out of Rome and hit Sorrento, Pompeii, Amalfi, Postiano, Venice, Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano, and Siena along the way. We planned the entire trip ourselves and travelled by public transportation (and by foot) the entire time.
2008 - New Zealand
In February 2008 we travelled to the south island of New Zealand. We had a couple of friends living in a town called Cromwell. They were extremely generous to us, showing us around and letting us borrow their car and camping equipment. New Zealand is absolutely gorgeous and it was great spending time with friends and seeing the beautiful country.
2006 - England, France, & Germany
Heather, in her last year of pharmacy school, jumped on a study abroad opportunity in Bath, England. She spent a month there and took a few side trips to places in England and Berlin, Germany. I flew over her last week there and we visited London and Paris, France. This was our first taste of international travel (besides Mexico and Canada) and really got us interested in seeing other parts of the world.
