Heading To Vienna Soon!
In just a few more days, I am heading out on my next journey. This time, to Vienna. I was talking to people and they were saying that usually they are aware of my upcoming travel plans, but that I wasn’t talking about this trip of mine at all. I realized then that I didn’t […]
Final Thoughts on our Family Trip to Bulgaria (And Why You Should Visit it Too!!!)
I just came back from Bulgaria. I arrived there on Monday, December 9, and came back to my country Monday December 16, arrived home yesterday… And, I want to go back. This was an amazing trip. It was the first time I ever took my kids abroad. And I loved Bulgaria. Every second of it. […]
Day 8, Last Day of our Family Vacation — Our Day in a Resort Town
On Monday we flew back from Bulgaria, to an airport relatively far from my house and quite near a resort town. I had never been to this resort town before, other than once in the middle of the night on the way to the airport on my way to Belgium. It’s a decently long way […]
Day 6 of our Family Vacation — Skiing in Bansko, Bulgaria
Posing with the wonderful instructors, Janet and Peter This family trip we just took for the last 9 days has been splendid, but I must say the absolute highlight for me, and most of us too, has been the skiing. I found it, but even with the cheaper prices, the ski day was the most […]
End of Part 1, Beginning of Part 2 of Our Family Trip
Where we’re staying now. No, that door doesn’t move, and it doesn’t have any glass in it anyhow. Today was… quite a day. Last night I ended up going to sleep quite late, as we had to leave this morning to get to the airport in time for our flight home. I ended up doing […]
Chilling Out and Fun in Sofia, Bulgaria, Days 4 and 5
The last two days in Bulgaria were a bit more chilled out. We had an exhausting first few days here, and Rose was a bit under the weather, so we did some more relaxed things around the house. We went grocery shopping, and then cooked together, including these oatmeal cookies. We took lots of walks […]
Snow Fun in Bansko, Bulgaria- Day 3, Part 2
I mentioned the other day about how we traveled 2 hours by car to reach Bansko, the town at the foot of Todorka Peak in the Pirin Mountains, and the skiing we arranged and planned. But after such a long drive, we weren’t going to turn around and go back once we did that, especially […]
Getting Ready To Ski in Bulgaria- Day 3 Part 1
Skiing. I love it. I love winter, to be honest, love the snow, and all winter sports that I’ve tried. Growing up, I went skiing a few times, and got pretty good at it pretty quickly. The first time I skied, I started off on the beginner slope, then went to level 1 and then […]
Day 2 of Our Family Trip in Bulgaria — Lots and Lots of Fun
When I wrote up about my first day in Bulgaria with my kids, I mentioned how many things went not as planned, and how I learned my lesson about needing to tailor my trip to my kids taste and needs and be extremely, extremely flexible. I must admit that in the past, when I saw […]
Day 1 in Bulgaria with My Family- A Day Full of Lessons
Today was… a day full of lessons. All sorts of lessons. About interesting things and frustrated things, and while I would love to say it was an amazing, tremendous, stupendous day, to be honest, more than anything today I felt frustration. However, out of all that frustration came lessons, and with those lessons hopefully ideas […]
