THe fast ferry is more expensive, but worth it! We had comfortable seat, wi-fi, and power. Out through Hyannis, past all the sailboats, and through the fog to Nantucket. Parking was a little confusing, but we managed it without any mishap.

As I planned my trip to France, I started to think about things to do while I was in the area around Nice. I’ve been to most of the touristy places in the area and wanted to do something different. I thought about traveling to Corsica, but I I didn’t have enough time. Are there

Greece Trip: Day 1
After just a few hours of sleep, it was time to start into a full day of travel beginning in Paris. We slowly got off the plane, navigating down the jet stairs to the tarmac and climbing on a bus. After a tour of the airport, we arrived. With no signs and no boards telling
