jt inc - Jennifer and Timothy Ginder

Hi, welcom to Jenn and Tim's travel blog. We created it because calling everyone when your on vacation is a waste of time you could be spending exploring.
Tim's traveled to Fiji, Canada and most of the 50 states and is a Chemical Engineering major at WSU.
Jenn has never been anywhere farther east than Montana before and has only visited Canada. Her parents took her to Mexico, but she was too young to remeber much of it. She is biology Teaching major at WSU and wants to teach middle school or high school English - no, she's not crazy.
Jenn and Tim have been married for since spring 2005 and look forward to traveling the globe together. They have traveled a little around the west coast since getting married and are excited to travel the world together.

Milan Europe » Italy » Lombardy » Milan

Milan
Duomo

Milan wasn’t the most exciting stop on our trip. I remember hearing that a lot of Europe shuts down in August, but until Milan we didn’t really encounter that. However, in Milan nearly everything but the tourist traps were closed and the first day we were there we had to buy dinner in the supermarket and spent the night relaxing in our hotel room - which was much nicer than I expected it to be! The next day we slept in and headed out to Lake Como for the afternoon. I tried Guiness beer and found it be somewhat disgusting and [View Full Entry]

Venice Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice

Venice

The train ride to Venice seemed to take forever. First we had to catch a train to the Italian border and then one to Milan and from there to Venice. Knowing this train might be crowded we reserved seats. The seats were in groups of four, and everyone around us always had a neighbor after the first few stops on the trip. We however, managed to magically be seated in the only seats where no one was assigned to be our neighbor the entire way. It was nice, especially when I noticed some of the other people riding the train that [View Full Entry]

Nice Europe » France » Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur » Nice

Nice

We stayed in Nice for two and a half days and arrived there mid afternoon on August 3rd. The train ride was took four hours but we had good books to read so it passed quickly. Nice was so hot and beautiful! All the houses and buildings were painted bright warm colors and the beach was lovely, but rocky - much rockier than the one at my family's beach cabin. After checking into our hotel, called Hotel Pastoral, we headed down to Old Town for an early dinner - well early that is for Europe. Old Town is full of places [View Full Entry]

Paris Europe » France » Île-de-France » Paris

Paris

Yesterday we spent most of the previous day walking through Paris and trying to navigate the Metro - subway. Our clocks still being somewhat set on Northwest time, we woke up bright and early after a restless night’s sleep. We decided to go the Eiffel tower before all the tourists arrived. On our way there we wandered from bakery to bakery trying different pastries. Tim has decided to rescind his ill will towards the French as a result of their excellent food and now wants to move here for the food. The Eiffel tower was smaller than I expected, but none [View Full Entry]

Not coming home. Europe » France » Île-de-France » Paris

Luton
Tim found a funny book where the main character was a T-rex with attitude named Tim.

We landed at London Heathrow a few days ago. I managed to doze on the plane by creatively turning the little tray in front of my seat into a head rest - sort of like falling asleep at your desk at school but not as comfortable. However, Tim couldn't get any sleep. Nobody warned me about how terrible the pressure change can be on your ears as you come down to land from such a high altitude. I thought I was dying until Tim informed it was normal. I got lots of advice on how to prevent this on the return [View Full Entry]

Eiffel Tower
Picture from: http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/12602/eiffel-tower-night.jpg

I've been asked for an itinerary so here you go: One thing were probably doing in every city is having dinner at a local pub. My uncle said this was the cheapest way to eat out a lot of time. Tim and I want to try some of the regional beers and wines. If you know of anything good let me know. July 30th - overnight flight to London July 31st - we're sleeping off our jet lag near the airport where we catch our flight to Paris August 1-2 - Paris. The hotel prices were astronomical if you wanted somewhere [View Full Entry]
