One of the weirdest places that we found ourselves wandering through in Paris were the Catacombs. While waiting in line for 2 1/2 hours was horrible, walking among some of the 6 million bodies made us forget that. For only 10 Euros, it was totally worth the cost, but you might want to go later in the day if you don’t want to wait in line. Bring some cards, water, and a good book to pass the time while waiting…
Jocelyn’s take: I have wanted to visit Stonehenge for a very long time. I was lucky enough to explore another set of standing stones in Scotland, which only made me want to get to Stonehenge more!

After traveling to a “Secret Location” and Bath, we finally came up to the Visitor Center for…

We would have access to at least a small kitchenette, and probably would be paying less to live in London and Paris. So far, AirBnB.com hasn’t been too bad at the logistics. One thing that I do not like is that we had a reservation cancelled by the owner without any reason given. I was able to…
This map is beautiful. I cannot wait to go to Paris later this year and explore this area in person. Watching the Eiffel Tower twinkle at night is a definite bucket list item to cross off. Source: paris_revolution.jpg (JPEG Image, 1747 × 1184 pixels) – Scaled (89%)
