D.C. Part II

Well, we’ve been in DC for a couple weeks already. The weather has cooperated, at least on the weekends (when it matters and we’re happy to say that we’ve had a wonderful time exploring the area and learning long-forgotten or unknown historical information.  Some museums stay open until 7:30 p.m. so after work, we […]

Washington, D.C. - part 1

After years of trying to find airplane tickets and enough time, we finally got ourselves to D.C.  We drove (or I should say Radek drove and I helped a little bit) 21 hours (14 of them in one day) and we were able to get here by Saturday night (after leaving work on Friday evening).  Radek […]

Last Friday, we woke up to what we’re trying to escape - snow! Believe it or not, 8 inches (20 cm) of snow fell overnight in the Santa Fe area. It was the oddest thing to wake up to a pure white coating over everything and a bundle of bright red chili peppers hanging from […]

So we don’t forget the questions learned or things to remember when preparing for the next workation (to be updated as necessary):
* Verify exact internet speed and connection - can they support two computers? Silly question, but definitely should have been asked for last months destination.
* Ask about the set-up for two work stations
* Make sure […]

Where did the time go!?!

Ok - this was a draft that went astray, but we do want to let you know how Argentina went, despite the fact that we’ve been gone a few weeks already…..
This was drafted while we were there:
Wow… we’ve been here almost 4 weeks already. We’re still enjoying the weather, ice cream, empanadas, fresh fruits and the city […]

Ok - sorry about the delay in posting things. A brief summary of our past couple of months:
* We departed the green, lush valleys (read: wet and cold) of Ireland
* We are both able to telecommute for our respective employers (thank you, employers!)
* We bummed off Heather’s parents for a month, braving frigid cold arctic temperatures […]

It’s already November!

Over a month has gone by without us posting any updates… I guess after 9 months of living somewhere you kind of get used to the place and what seems odd and exciting for the first few months becomes quite ordinary. Maybe it’s time to think about a relocation?
Anyway, in the last month […]

HEROES!!!

Ok - Heather wants to send a big ol’ “Thank You!” to Becky R for unknowingly giving me a bowl-full of entertainment through a new website (name below)…. I saw that Becky developed herself into “Book Girl” and thought it would be fun to make Radek and I into super-heroes, too. Gosh - this was […]

We went Oktoberfest’ing

So this past weekend we finally completed one of Radek’s many goals while living in Ireland - we went to Oktoberfest in Munich.  First, a video, which is self-explanatory:
Open “Full Entry” and click here for a video of: Oktoberfest 2008
As you can see, this was quite a busy place…. let us back up, though….
First, Radek […]

London

The goal for this weekend was the British Museum in London and it was successful. Quite some time ago we found cheap airfare to London and took the opportunity. The museum was quite impressive. You can walk through so many different cultures in one building - Iran, China, Greece, Egypt… the list just goes on. Heather really […]
