Weekend Getaway: Reykjavík, Iceland

To be completely factual, this trip didn’t actually occur on a weekend, but it was for the length of a weekend so I find this to be a fitting category nonetheless. Jos and the boys dropped my mom and I off at Schiphol (luckily since

Summer Holiday: Croatia

Getting into Croatia I left Kotor, Montenegro at 08.30 on a bus headed into Croatia; we would be in Dubrovnik at about 10.30, or so I thought. I snatched a window seat so I could watch us leave beautiful Montenegro, and I was not disappointed. All along
