Now that I have started working remotely, and have actually been getting work to do, the days (of the week) are somewhat easier to keep track of. Today is our 34th day in isolation in NYC (I had to mark the days on the calendar for my sanity). What has surprised me the most is how fast the days go. The weekend goes slower, which … Continue reading Happy friday! A brief update in month 2 of quarantine
As I Xed off the days on the calendar that hangs on the corkboard near our refrigerator, I realized we had been inside for more than week. Not literally, as we went for a walk on Sunday, and I went for a walk today. But we haven’t eaten out, been to work, the gym, therapy, the football factory, or any of the other places we … Continue reading Quarantine day 8- We've officially made it past week 1
The worst part by far is the hysteria and lack of preparedness by the United States. As mentioned in the hundreds of articles you’ve probably read by now, the testing in the US is just not where it should be. This, and people’s energy, is what is scaring me the most right now. I can’t walk outside without being barraged with people in masks, or … Continue reading NYC Coronavirus Update
So as I mentioned last week, I have no travel plans for the future. That has somehow become profoundly untrue in the course of two days. I think I mentioned we will be hitting the West Coast for a trip in June. This has turned into a weekend in Seattle at the moment, which is exciting because Dave has never been. We will be there … Continue reading Throwback Wednesday(?)- Highlighting Why Your Next Trip Should Be To Brighton, UK
The fun thing about dating someone from another country is that you end up seeing much more of the country than you would otherwise. For example, before I met Dave, I studied abroad in London and visited a few other cities in the UK. I had been to Edinburgh, Bath, Windsor, Oxford, and Birmingham. Now, I end up flying to the UK, and I don’t … Continue reading East Grinstead, a Place Much Nicer Than it Sounds
Although my intention was to have my blog be focused on the UK and all of the travel we do there, we do travel other places too. Last weekend, we took an impromptu trip to Beacon, NY. Only an hour and a half with no traffic from NYC, Beacon provided the perfect afternoon escape. It is located in Dutchess County, and has a very rich … Continue reading A Change of Scenery & Break from NYC
For our second day in Oxford, we tried to squish in as much as possible. The McDonald Randolph has a very highly rated spa, so we started our day with facials. Dave had never had one before, and I am very picky so it was a mixed experience. He enjoyed his, and said it was very relaxing, and I think he is keen to do … Continue reading Oxford Pt. 2
Hello everyone!So there were a few weeks where nothing interesting happened and now it has been nothing but adventure . I had my last day of classes on April 3 and took a train to meet my two amazing uncles in Birmingham England! Birmingham is how I imagined all of England to be. It was 50 degrees and rainy and windy. And I’m not talking … Continue reading I’m Alive, Hello Hola Ciao
