We're all about Sanford Florida!
Since we stayed in Tampa overnight (didn’t want to drive back late after the concert) we spent the night there. The next day we went to have lunch in an area called Westchase before heading home to Sanford. The area reminded me a lot of the area around Colonial Town Park in Lake Mary, potentially [...]
Since Jose had to renew his Colombian passport and then get his visa for our upcoming Germany trip we had to plan a short trip to Miami. We left super early (5am) to be at the Colombian Consulate by 10am. Everything went smooth and so we had the rest of the day to relax a [...]
So today we took the second half of the day off to go to accompany our guests to the beach. We chose Clearwater Beach by Tampa. I have to say we took quite a risk because leaving Sanford it was pouring down (as it has over the past week and a half). Miraculously though, as [...]
We spent a fantastic day at the beach today! My first time this year, believe it or not. It’s beginning of May in Central Florida and I hadn’t been yet – shame on me. I really should take advantage of living close to the beaches – but oh well, work gets in the way too [...]
Today I have to say bye-bye to San Diego. I am traveling back to Sanford. Looking forward to warmer temperatures but will miss sunny California, my second favorite state Pin It
Today we went on a day trip to L.A. and Hollywood. We had lots of fun and even saw a German celebrity walking down Rodeo Drive Pin It
Today was a great day: first we visited Fashion Valley (love that name), one of San Diego’s beautiful outdoor malls. After that we drove out to Coronado Island where the world famous Coronado Hotel is located. We ate at a beautiful Mexican restaurant and then walked along the beach. Yes, I did touch the Pacific, [...]
So I am in San Diego now visiting my friends Audrey and Brian with my sister Gabi. We drove from Las Vegas and will spend a weekend here. I love San Diego and California in general! Nice to see mountains, Florida unfortunately doesn’t offer that. It does get a bit too chilly though in San [...]
Time has come and we need to say bye to Vegas! We had a blast.Leaving Las Vegas is always hard but I know there will be a next time! Summarizing I have to say: Try to visit Vegas when it is a bit warmer – during the days we had good temperatures in the low [...]
Today we spent pretty much all day touring the world famous Strip in Las Vegas! I was as impressed as I was the first time! What an amazing experience it is – I simply loved it! And this time I brought my good camera and took some better shots – they all follow below in [...]
The reason for our trip to Vegas was my b-day 30, the long dreaded but unavoidable entering of the third decade of my life! Since I did freak out a bit about it I thought it might be best to leave town for the celebration. After all, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” so [...]
After quite a long trip we arrived in Las Vegas this morning. Super excited to get my birthday celebration started Our friends provided the hotel as birthday gift – the picture shows the view from our hotel room. Can’t wait to enjoy Vegas! It’s been almost 6 years since I last went – too long!! [...]
Too soon we have to say good-bye to Panama City… We had a wonderful time and hope to be back someday. Of course a big thank you goes to our friends for making this a great experience I can highly recommend our hotel (which was by the way located right next to a huge, modern [...]
Today we drove out to the famous Miraflores Locks at the Panama Canal. These locks are one of the three locks that ships need to pass in order to make it through the Panama Canal. The ships are huge, I was very impressed! Also impressive, the fare they have to pay to pass the canal: [...]
Today we visited Casco Viejo, the old part of Panama City. This part of town could be compared to the French Quarter of New Orleans. In fact, it was mostly influenced by the French. I was impressed by the beauty of the buildings. They may be old but have still kept their charm. For more [...]
On our first day in Panama City we attended the Gatun Tour. It was a beautiful experience, close to nature. We even got to kayak on the lake and feed monkeys (sooo cute!!). If you should ever go to Panama I can highly recommend this tour. Here is a link to the web site of [...]
On our way to Panama we had to take the connection flight in Miami. While waiting a couple of hours for boarding I encountered this neat little project currently displayed at the Miami Airport. I really though it was a lovely idea The next 4 days of my blog will consequently take place in beautiful [...]
Today we’re saying Good-Bye Bogota.We are getting ready for our trip back to the US and to good old Sanford, FL. We had a great time in Colombia but it’s always nice to come back to your own home and your own bed. A last shot from some buildings in Bogota, not the prettiest view, [...]
We drove outside the city today into the “sabana de Bogota”. The landscape is absolutely beautiful. All the green I was missing yesterday in Bogota seems to be accumulated here The nature around here reminded me a lot of Austria or Switzerland. It’s so peaceful and serene. After that, we visited the famout “catedral de [...]
Bogota is a beautiful and interesting city and I got to spend a wonderful day here today. Our city tour (I had Jose and his mom Gladys as my personal tour guides) lead us to the oldest part of town first, the so called “Candelaria”. This is probably the part of town where you will [...]
