We were up by five in the morning in Hanoi to catch a cab (the wrong cab, unfortunately, since we had prepaid a different one and had to pay again with this guy since he wasn’t the cab driver we actually booked. This guy knew no more than hello in English, which is more than…
We got to Vietnam late, stood in a long passport control line and were thankful we hadn't lost track of the Vietnam Visa we acquired before we set off on our journey. This made our visit with the officer quick and painless. We got a SIM card for Robbie's phone in the airport (and seriously…
We left Railay Beach super early in the morning on Thanksgiving day, November 23rd. Let me tell ya, it did not feel like Thanksgiving. We had to keep reminding ourselves that it was by every so often jokingly asking ourselves, "How come no one has wished us a happy Thanksgiving??!!" We had a four hour layover in…
We left Chiang Rai wishing we had scheduled more than six days there, but knowing we had seen and done everything we had hoped to do. There was just something about it that would stick in our hearts forever. We flew out of the airport at 10 in the morning and arrived in Krabi, Thailand…
We left Athens feeling like it was the most appropriate way to end our European adventure. Athens was like a summary of all that had been done in our hearts in Europe as a whole, through meeting so many incredible people and seeing so many brilliant places, reading an abundance of Scripture, and living through…
Robbie mentioned a few times in the Slovenia blog post how much travel days stink. We didn't even know the half of it until we left for Greece. A friend we often volunteer with in Omaha, who has spent several years on the mission field in Africa (and will actually return soon forever), Becca, told…
***Post written by Robbie. ❤ ❤ ❤ Travel days are the worst. They usually take up your entire day and it’s hard to be productive when you are on edge about reading the bus schedule wrong, or missing your train, or second guessing if you are on the right train, or wondering if you really…
We are now at the part of our journey that nothing is planned. Okay, most things up until now haven't been planned, except for usually knowing what city/country we would be going to and having our lodging booked as well. The South of France in August was completely unplanned before a week ahead of time…
We left Santorini with a certain sadness in our bones. We adored that place. We said goodbye to Danny and felt blessed to experience one last sunrise over the cliffs as we escaped up the cobblestone steps to the main street one last time to wait for our taxi to the airport. The Santorini airport…
We set our alarms for 5:30am and left our Athens apartment way earlier than we would ever want to, puffy eyes yet full hearts. We really don’t have an extraordinary amount of items to our name, but we’ve certainly got more and more used to these travel days where we pack up the night before…
