“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step” ~ Lao Tzu
Eric & I have enjoyed traveling together since we first met, but what really solidified us as a serious travel duo was the year we spent living in Delaware. Eric’s first job out of college was with a Taiwanese company whose American base was in Delaware. What was supposed to be a six month training ended up being a full year, so we made the most of it. I didn’t have a car & wasn’t working during that time, so I would spend the week planning trips for the weekend. We would rent a car each weekend because the company car they had loaned us could only run a few miles before dying. Plus, it smelled like soy sauce because a previous tenant had spilled a gallon of soy sauce in the front seat & never properly cleaned it. Quite often, we’d get the same rental car, a red PT Cruiser — we LOVED that cruiser!
For these next few posts, I’m taking a walk down memory lane. Early in our marriage, Eric & I lived in Delaware for a year & boy did we have some adventures! I kept notes & emails from that year, & it’s amazing to see how much my perspective of our experiences during that time has altered. The best example is of our experience in the town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, where we stayed at “the house of misery.”
It’s that time of year again, when Eric & I sit down to decide what country we want to visit next year. As mentioned in my previous post (Too Much Information!), we’ve been binge watching the History Channel’s Viking series, so we’re in the mood for some Nordic travel. After much research, we’ve narrowed it down to three locations: Norway, Faroe Islands or Novia Scotia. Each offers its own unique experiences & landscape, so it’s difficult to choose. So I thought I’d get YOUR opinion.
