by Katieupdated on June 9, 2022June 20, 20201 Comment on Krakow- Poland (day one of two)

This post might well be called “First Day in Krakow- I had no idea what I was doing”. My summer 2019 trip started on June 25, when I flew from Columbus to Miami via American Airlines, then after a 4 hour layover to London gatwick with Norwegian airlines (perhaps the worst airline I’ve ever flown), …

When I was 15 years old, I took my first trip overseas with my French teacher.  We spent 2 weeks in France, during which time we traveled all over the country and I even did a few overnights with a French family.  It was exhilarating, it was terrifying (mostly because I never spoke in my French …

Day three in Budapest and Ray and I decided we would join a walking tour available through the hop-on hop-off bus tour we had bought tickets for. First, we took the bus to St. Stephen’s Basilica, dedicated to the first Hungarian Christian king.  Construction on the basilica was from 1851-1905.  Inside the church was beautiful. …

On July 2nd, after having spent the day in Dubai, Ray and I headed to the airport to start our journey to our next destination: Budapest, Hungary.

On my fourth day in Abu Dhabi we returned to the Emirates Palace hotel. The day before we were not allowed in because ray was in shorts (and they were nice shorts), though we saw other people wearing gym shorts even, but apparently they were guests (so it’s true rich people can get away with …

My second day in Abu Dhabi was a bit tougher for me because of a serious case of jet lag.  It is 8 hours ahead here, and I was texting with some friends while I was trying to fall asleep and THEY were going to bed back home while I was still awake here.  When …
