Plane.Train.Car.Foot: Roadtrip Ireland
http://www.alysandalex.com/2010/08/roadtrip-ireland.html
A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Friday, August 13, 2010. Beautiful summer in Ireland. This was our view for the first portion of the Great Irish Roadtrip. A bit dreary and I couldn't quite believe that "this is what summer in nothern Ireland looks like," but also quite romantic and Irish feeling. Alex and I rented the car in Dublin, and then drove through Belfast, Bushmills, Derry, County Donegal, Connemara, Galway, Killarney and finally Kilkenny. Phewww. You Are Now Entering Free Derry.

http://www.alysandalex.com/2010/08/you-are-now-entering-free-derry.html
A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Friday, August 13, 2010. You Are Now Entering Free Derry. Guest blogger this post.may I welcome to the podium Mr Alexander Protzman. For years now I have suffered the same condition that many other Americans with Irish sounding names are afflicted with.a complete and utter fascination with all things Irish. For me it usually centered on the the fight for Irish independence and The Troubles. There is probably no need for a history lesson. We also visited ...

A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Friday, November 27, 2009. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and family! As we all know, Thanksgiving is all about love and family and giving thanks.but it is also about food and my personal favorite meal of the entire year. No turkey this year. Alex and I sampled Pho at two different Vientamese restaurants. Pho 24. A "fast food" restaurant in Hanoi. Beautifully sliced carrots, lotus root and green mango. Old man staring at me. Fish and pork paste.

Plane.Train.Car.Foot: May 2010
http://www.alysandalex.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Rome Where to begin? We sort of decided to leave the guide books at home and just walk. There's no way to see it all and its totally overwhelming.so we just roamed (horrible pun). I was really impressed by the churches built in the 1100's while we were in Umbria. We hit Rome and its like.this was built in year 0. Wow. Everywhere you look there is another monument, church, statue, painting or fountain. Piazza Navona. This site...

Plane.Train.Car.Foot: March 2010
http://www.alysandalex.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Goodbye Fez. Hello Meknes. Another imperial capital. Another beautiful riad. Cafes overlooking the square. Possibly the worst lunch ever but the scenery was nice. Meg's favorite moment in Meknes was definitely watching the butcher pick up the chicken and prepare to cut its throat right in front of us. We took a day trip to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss. The ride out there was absolutely gorgeous. Olive groves, wheat fields,...Ruins...

Plane.Train.Car.Foot: London Town
http://www.alysandalex.com/2010/08/london-town.html
A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Sunday, August 15, 2010. Ahh, more lovely weather in the British Isles. Thank goodness the weather is incredibly erratic so although we were swamped with rain one minute, it was bright and sunny the next. This will be our final post as tourists. I can't believe it. We basically decided to avoid all of the typical tourist spots and opted to slowly stroll the streets and enjoy London at a leisurely pace. I love this. Only in London. Great to see you Lauren!

Plane.Train.Car.Foot: January 2010
http://www.alysandalex.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Sunday, January 31, 2010. The Scenic Route Home. Alex and I opted for the scenic flight back to Queenstown aboard a 6 seater piece of flying tin. The claw marks in Alex's arm are healing nicely. We flew back over the trail. It was fascinating to see it all from a different perspective. Saturday, January 30, 2010. The scenery here is just beautiful. Cattle and sheep stations occupy much of the low, flat land with steep, rocky mountains rising sharply ...

A couple's journey around the world in ten months. Tuesday, August 3, 2010. Alex and I spent a quick and rainy day in Oslo. Highlights were definitely the Viking Ship Museum and the Fram Museum.
