Took off for our first (mini) trek!! We decided that we wanted to and were capable of doing Annapurna sans guide and sans porter, so we tested the waters by venturing out on our own for 2 nights/3 days from Sundarijal to Dhulikhel. Continue reading

October 23-25, 2015: Hangin’ in Kathmandu, Part 1
Spent our first two days in Kathmandu relaxing, meeting fun people and seeing some of the cool sites in and around the capital city. Continue reading
October 22-23, 2015: The Journey to Kathmandu
Though there are 1-stop flights from Tel Aviv to Kathmandu that only take about 11 hours, we booked too last minute and on too tight a budget to be able to afford such luxuries. As a result, we got to enjoy a 33 hour journey (was supposed to be 24 hours…) to a country in a time zone only 3 hours ahead. Now, to make matters slightly more interesting, our layovers were in Amman, Jordan (where at least I’m allowed in…) and Doha, Qatar (where, well, I’m not). Continue reading
August 26-31, 2015: Cyprus
We were debating about what to do with the last few days of the Europe portion of our trip. We really wanted to make our way into Eastern Europe but flights were SO expensive last minute and the cheapest option we could find was to Cyprus. So we thought, why not? Continue reading
August 23-26, 2015: Greece, Part 3 – Lounging Around Chalkidiki
Said goodbye to Steve in Santorini, for good this time (we’ll miss you, dear friend), and flew into Thessaloniki, picked up a car, and drove out to the fantastic city of Afytos/Afitos on the Kassandra finger of Chalkidiki/Halkidiki (see map below). Continue reading
August 17-23, 2015: Greece, Part 2 – Island Hopping
Spent the next week Island-hopping around the The Cyclades of Greece. Continue reading
August 16-17, 2015: Greece, Part 1 – Athens
Hopped on a plane from Rome to Athens, got in super late at night, had a quick drink at our hotel’s awesome rooftop bar (where I was attacked by a cockroach), and woke up early the next day to mosey around Athens. Continue reading
August 14-16, 2015: Back to Rome!
I know you’ve been anxiously awaiting to find out when we’d be coming back to Rome… well, tada! Continue reading
August 14, 2015: Pompeii
As I mentioned in the previous post (but I’ll re-mention now, as I’m assuming nobody made it through that entire absurdly lengthy post…), we were supposed to go to Pompeii on our honeymoon but it was pouring rain and we ended up skipping out on this excursion, deciding that this was just one more reason to come back to Italy one day. Continue reading
August 11-14, 2015: Coasting Along The Amalfi Coast
Took our “car” down to the Amalfi Coast, where we spent a few days exploring various parts of the coast, driving the windy, sphincter-clenching, cliff-hanging roads, and just walking and hiking around. Continue reading
