My Birthday Surprise!
In the months leading up to my birthday (November), my husband had been attempting to wind me up by saying he had organised something, I would be doing something on my birthday with a friend and after that we would be going away for a few days. He was super pleased with himself and kept … Continue reading My Birthday Surprise!
Iceland Day 3 – Snow and the City!
We were extremely grateful for a slightly later lay-in on day 3. An early flight on day 1 from the UK through to a late Northern Lights night followed by the Golden Circle tour and Blue Lagoon trip on day 2...we needed sleep! Day 3 started with hotel breakfast and wrapping up warm for a … Continue reading Iceland Day 3 – Snow and the City!

One of the main attractions that … Continue reading New York City – Final Day

New York City – Day 2
Thanks to a decent 8 hour sleep (purely due to an early bedtime....we were then having breakfast at 6.30am!)...we were ready for a full tourist-fuelled day with plans to walk from Times Square to the Statten Island Ferry via the High Line and the 9/11 memorial! The High Line wasn't necessarily something we had on … Continue reading New York City – Day 2
