My Bad.
So…it’s been a hot minute. That’s my bad. In the immortal words of the glorious man, Jeff Goldblum, life, uh, finds a way…of getting in the way. So here is my recap that I’m sure is missing the finer details. It’s a dump of the remainder of my time in Edinburgh, the roller coaster that was trying to get in (and out) of France. The remaining tales of me falling in love with a new city, having the worst (but thankfully the only) night of the entire trip, and my final days in England will follow. I promise.

Edinburgh: National Galleries
Next on my list of things you can’t miss in Edinburgh is the National Galleries. Entrance is free to the general exhibits, however while I was here I got the chance to experience the Rembrandt exhibit. Right on the busy Princes Street, the National Galleries is a must.

Edinburgh: St. Giles’ Cathedral
The first on my list of things to see in Edinburgh is St. Giles’ Cathedral. It’s free to visit the 12th century church, and even if you have no religious inclinations it’s definitely worth seeing, purely for its rich history.

Edinburgh: Week 1
Apologies for the radio silence. Trust me, when you lose your passport and both credit cards, you tend to space on some things. I’ve been trying to not let that stop me from enjoying my first week in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh: Days 1 & 2
I finally made it to Edinburgh! I was promptly greeted with a head cold, but I’m trying to not let that stop me from enjoying my time in one of my favorite places in the world.

Bath: Day 3
Yesterday, in a word, was perfect. Every so often, you have one of those moments that, even while still in the moment, you know it will stay with you forever.

Bath: Day 2 – Cotswold Day Trip
My second day in Bath wasn’t really in Bath at all. I spent the day touring other parts of the area known as the Cotswolds, which includes Stonehenge.

Bath: Day 1
While the day started in rainy London, it ended on a perfectly peaceful and sunny note in Bath.

Sabbatical Planning – Part 2
Everything is booked and ready and I’m now 10 days out from my European vacation. I thought I’d share my budget, how I planned on what I was going to do, and everything in between.

Swing of Things
It’s just…been awhile. Updates on being back in the US, being back at my old site at work, being back to hourly instead of salary, and getting ready for my sabbatical.
