Merry Christmas from Turkey!

It's the Holiday season and we made a special video of what we did for Christmas

Greece 2014 Day 5, The Last Day

On our last day in Greece, the only thing on the itinerary was to catch a plane leaving at 9pm.

But of course that wasn't all that we did

Greece 2014 Day 4, Delphi

As I said yesterday, Day 4 in Greece was going to have a lot of bus time. In fact it was going to be about three hours in one direction to our destination, the mountains around Delphi. 

Greece 2014 Day 3

The day was a planned shopping day. We'd be hopping in a taxi and riding to Sparta to a large outlet mall over there. But, there was a little bit of a catch to it...

Greece 2014 Day 2

Day 2 in Athens had an all day cruise booked to explore the islands surrounding Greece. Specifically the islands of Hydra (pronounced Edra) Poros, and Aegina. 

However day 2 would not go as smoothly as our first day in Greece. This was due entirely to bad weather.

Greece 2014 Day 1

On Saturday December 6th Katie and I made our first trip to Greece. We flew on a later flight because, quite frankly, it was going to be about a thousand dollars cheaper. It meant that we didn't get much time our first day in Greece, but our sixth day was also a late flight, so this time would be made up on the back end.

So Greece happened and it was great!

As many of you may know, Katie and I were just in Greece for 6 wonderful days.
For publishing all the pictures we grabbed while over there, I want to post them according to the day they were taken and what happened on that day. Then after I've posted each day there will be a separate post just for a bunch of pictures. (a lot that probably weren't in the main posts)
The plan is for Monday to be day 1, Tuesday to be day 2 and so on. That should make for a week of posts and stories.
But, to give you a small taste of what is to come....

Very excited to share our travels with everyone.

Quest for pizza, photos from Turkey, and a Trip revealed

I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying these posts. This is more of a photo dump of a post with a small vlog I made showing the area we are staying in.

And I back up my tease of where we are going. All after the break

Turkey Turkey and more Turkey

This post should have gone up a while back, sorry for the delay.



After about fifteen hours of travel we made it to our destination of Turkey.

Turkish Airlines liked putting their symbol everywhere. Seat belts, napkins, cups, toilet paper...

Toledo, Turkey, and Tricoci Spa

Thursday, we drove through the snow from Toledo to Chicago. 

It stopped snowing just long enough to snap this picture

Night-shift and Movies

One of the challenges to all the travel is getting on the proper schedule once you get to your location. For Toledo, Katie is once again working night-shift, a 5pm to 5am shift to be precise. She had to start those hours Friday, so that meant staying up all of Thursday night. The perfect time to do a movie double feature.

Temperatures are getting colder

Touchdown Toledo

Short and sweet for this one. We drove from Chicago to Toledo Ohio today.

Apparently known for their College Hockey team the Torpedoes

More alliteration after the break.

Mid week update in Wynnewood vlog and what comes next!

It's been an interesting week here in Wynnewood.
Mostly just shift work and getting used to being on that schedule.
But also, we have our next assignment that will be after Wynnewood.
And our next destination after Wynnewood (with a brief period in Chicago likely) will be...

Coffeyville to Chicago Vlog and our Next destination

Driving from Coffeyville vlog. If people like these i'll keep making them, or maybe something similar.

Everyone's favorite schmuck in sunglasses

Labor day on the road 2014

Upon confirming that Coffeyville Kansas has about as much to do as you'd expect(little to nothing), it became apparent to us that we needed to hunt down some entertainment.
Luckily, I married Katie who can plan anything perfectly.

(The general rule of thumb for Coffeyville. You gotta drive at least 50 miles to be near something)

Chi-town to Coffeyville driving Vlog

So Katie is going to be staying in Coffeyville for an extra 3 weeks. So, left with the options of wait 2 weeks to fly there or buck up and drive 10 hours, the choice was simple.
