Omg! So scared! I feel like I am in a horror movie. Something will happen. Just have to survive one night, then my husband is coming tomorrow. One last night. We switched our hotel and got closer to Heathrow. It’s a guest house in a village (true village-couple of thousand folks). When my husband was making our hotel reservations, I kept on saying yes without … Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 46

Romeo and Juliet, here we come! Verona is a town east of Milan. Shakespeare staged Romeo and Juliet in Verona. Outside the station, is a statue of a giant Egyptian pharaoh . That’s a surprise! The town seemed a modern place: tall buildings, new infrastructure, until we came to the old town. That was a step back in time. All things aside, our first stop … Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 41

OMG!! 40 th day!! We are so homesick. I know, I might sound ungrateful, but this feeling is there. Kids are feeling it, too. But I know the next day at being home, I will start missing my summer trip. It’s a weird feeling- we wake up, have breakfast, off to explore, have lunch and dinner, and sleep. Now, from someone else’s point of view … Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 40

Good bye, Toulon! Our day was spend traveling crossing borders. Luckily, there is no immigration process. The train stopped at a small country Monaco until we reached Milan, Italy. Trains are amazing here. Fully air conditioned ( that’s a must in this Europe heat). For food, they have a food coach, serving reasonable price food and snacks. You can also bring your own meals, too. … Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 38

When you think you have seen it all! Today was our day in Marseille. Marseille is the second largest city in France. As we got out the train station. I was in awe. The station seems to shadow the town. The NoteDame La Grande hovers over thing. It’s truly amazing! For lunch, we tried a famous delicacy: liver burger. It was close to eww! They … Continue reading Summer-2019 Day 37
Today was a designated beach day. The water was not warm, but on the bearable side. Girls went in deep for a while, and then hunger strikes! We got lucky with the food choice- Thai, Chinese: yum! Next stop was the ferry. Our day ended with Dominos-halal kebab pizza! Continue reading Summer-2019 Day 35

At breakfast I bumped into Ohio(ions) and found about a church- Sacre-Couer Basilica. It was a fifteen minutes walk from the hotel. Once we got there, I had two options: take the stairs or use the “tram” to get up. I chose the first option. Kids choose the latter. I chose the first options cause if you have lived in Paris for as long as … Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 30
We crossed The Atlantic Ocean-six hours of airtime. We landed in London and headed straight to St.Pancras. What a beauty! Our next stop was Paris, which was not until six hours. I was getting tired,sleepy, cranky, and all. St.Pancras could be more organized and travellers’s friendly. There is hardly any place to sit. The restrooms (toilets) are not enough to accommodate the major influx of … Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 27
It’s time to move on to next block of summer. But it’s always hard saying good byes. The whole time went by so fast. When I look back, I see days of exploring Toronto and spending time with family. I think the latter is priceless. I learned a lot, but wonder if I can retain it all ( I feel like I am forgetting about … Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 26
No summer is complete without a birthday party. No birthday is complete without goody bags. I personally think the two most important things in a birthday are cake and presents. Continue reading Summer 2019-Day 23
