Many of our awesome friends have asked us to keep them informed about our trip, so we've added them to our subscriber list. Now it's time for another update, just to learn how everything on this blog works. It certainly looks to be an outstanding way to keep a journal about our trip. The excitement and trepidation have really been building, for weeks. One minute, we can hardly wait, but the next minute we worry about all kinds of things. We've never taken a trip like this before, or at least since our Navy days. Friends will take us to the train station tomorrow, where our journey begins. Probably the most comprehensive source of information about what to expect, what we'll need, and answers to many of the little questions that crop up has been a ... read more

One of the best places on the planet is the Friedrichsbad, a true pleasure palace in the spa town of Baden-Baden, Germany. In the 3rd-century, the Soldatenbäder(Soldier's Baths) and the Roman village of Aquae Aureliae were located here.

You can read about the experience at the New York Times or on Rick Steves' site, or ... read more

Hi! It was suggested by a family friend that I create a blog for traveling. This way, people are able to see where I'm going/ where I've been and can see pictures and get updates and it isn't SUPER time consuming for me to update people one by one. Of course, if you email me (jessicasegur@hotmail.com) I will gladly email you back, but this is for general updates and pictures! If you don't already know, I was accepted into a teaching program and will be working in Florence, Italy teaching English as a foreign language to students. I am also planning on being a walking tour city guide in Florence as another job, most likely among other things. :-) I will be taking my training course in Manuel Antonio, (Quepos) Costa Rica, and then taking off ... read more
