Time for a Thanksgiving trip, and this time we did it not only in our country, but even in our own state! Last Thanksgiving, daddy had to go to Buenos Aires for business, and the 2 previous ones, he took me to Costa Rica and Honduras, so we decided to stay close to home, especially since we have a trip planned to Nicaragua in less than 6 weeks. So we took off Thursday morning and we headed south to the Keys. We drove for a little more than 2 hours and arrived at our campsite at mile marker 20 (0 is [View Full Entry]

After recently driving around 10 countries in Europe, it was time to travel to somewhere in the United States, and back to the area where daddy grew up....Southern California. The main reason for going was to attend Daddy's cousin Julie's wedding. I had never met her or many of daddy's relatives. I also had never been to a wedding, so this was going to be a lot of fun. It was to be a short trip, less than 40 hours in LA, but I was looking forward to it. On arriving in LA, we were met by Avo' Jay. Avo' is [View Full Entry]

Well it was back to where we started this trip and where we would end it.... Sweden. We returned to the Volvo factory to give the car back. Daddy was now going to have to wait 6-8 weeks until the car arrives in Miami, and drive the "ugly car" until it arrives.. I was really sad to say goodbye to the car with no top. I was very happy that when I arrived, they gave me back my Liseberg rabbit that I had left there 4 weeks earlier. We stayed at Jenny's house, our final couchsurfer. We had met our first [View Full Entry]

Time of for the last new country on our trip.....3 nights in Copenhagen. This time we couchsurfed at Jorn and Line's house. They have a couple kids each, but unfortunately they were staying with their other parents at the time of our visit. The good news was that I could play with their stuff and watch their movies. They even had a swan lake movie, like the story of the ballet I saw in Russia. Jorn and Line were very nice and daddy was happy that they liked wine a lot. Our first full day we took a boat ride in [View Full Entry]

This is the only country on this trip that Daddy and I had been to before. Well, I only was "kind of" there, as it was only 1 night in Frankfurt when I was 4 months old when we were moving from Italy to the USA and we did not catch our connection. This time it was 2 nights in Berlin. We arrived at our hostel, Wombat, and were told that we had a free upgrade to the "apartment" room. This place was awesome. Our apartment had a living room and small kitchen. I loved this hostel, as it had a [View Full Entry]

When we left warsaw, Tomek told us that it was better to drive South for a couple hours then go NE to go to Berlin as the roads were much better and no construction. He recommended spending a couple hours in Wroclaw on the way. However, when daddy was driving he realized that it would be less than 30 minutes out of the way to go to Auschwitz and he thought this was better than stopping in a city for a few hours. Daddy tried to explain to me about Auschwitz. He told me about a very bad person named Hitler [View Full Entry]

I was looking forward to going to Poland the whole trip. This was because we were going to stay at 2 couchsurfers who stayed at our place in Miami one night 2 months ago. There names are Tomek and Julka and I liked them a lot. It was great to see them again, and they had a dog who liked me a lot (maybe too much), as well as 3 cats. I really liked staying at their house. They cooked us a great meal the first night and then the next day daddy and I went to the Warsaw Rising Museum [View Full Entry]

Lithuania was the only country on this trip that we were passing through and not spending the night. Lithuania was also the only country that I had trouble saying. Daddy wanted to spend some time at the Hill of Crosses as he thought it looked pretty cool. When we arrived, I couldnt believe my eyes, it was a hill that was covered with SOOOOOOOOOOO many crosses. He told me I needed to count them, but I didn't even try. I had daddy buy me a cross so I could leave it there. On the way from there to Poland, I fell [View Full Entry]

A couple movies in the car, a nice drive and we arrived in Riga, Latvia. Once again we couchsurfed, this time with a very nice family...Rebecca was from Germany and her husband, Kris was Latvian. They had a boy, Konrad, who was just a little younger than me. The amazing thing was that they hosted us even though they had just had their second child 1 month ago. They lived in a great apartment right in the middle of the old town. The first night they took us to a beer garden right in the middle of the old town and [View Full Entry]

After a 6 hour train ride, picking up our car in Helsinki, then a 2 hour ferry ride, we arrived in Tallinn, Estonia. We stayed with couchsurfers again, and this time it was Luis and Maria. They are from Venezuela and moved to Estonia a couple years ago. They were very nice. We took a walk around the old part of Talinn with Luis and then met up with Maria. The old town looked like a village in a fairy tale, and I liked it a lot. The next day while they were working, daddy and I walked all over town. [View Full Entry]
