Now that’s a real sign of a working mother… Today during a break at our conference I had to grab some diapers. They sat under my chair just about the entire rest of the conference….
It’s been 5 long days of non-stop information overload and learning at the Dan Kennedy Information Summit. A room full of [...]

Part of our trip was planned to visit family and friends that we haven’t seen in awhile and especially since we have moved to Vancouver. While it means we are moving around a lot, it’s been nice to see a lot of friends and family.
This week has been spent visiting Justin’s family and hitting Manchester [...]

“Are You Rich?”

Yesterday we went to Turkey. We visited the port town of Marmaris, which is only about 12 KM from the coast of Rhodes. Marketing for Marmaris is for shopping but I think they need to change their message. It was a beautiful port town and really nice people. The shopping wasn’t much and really the [...]

And what a great name for a restaurant. Who doesn’t want to go home to [...]

Make lemonade . . . ” or so the saying goes.
Well, we’ve tried but the lemons keep being too tart (or rotten), the sugar is infested with ants or the water is tainted.
The truth is, it’s been a rough road since we landed in England.
Justin and I finally had a moment of truth and confessed [...]

Problem Solving…But in My Bikini…
August 20th, 2008 · No Comments
So we are finally here in Greece. The entire trip had been planned around these 5 ½ weeks. Can’t say that it has been an easy road getting here (the planning alone was exhausting) and it seems that each step of the trip since we hit England has been one problem after another.
If you’ve been [...]

Liverpudlian . . .
August 12th, 2008 · No Comments
We are staying at Justin’s Gran’s house. She’s lived her for over 60 years. It’s a Speke Council House as Justin’s Grandad (Tommy) was a Council Member. This is also the house that Justin’s Mum, Angela, was born in. It’s actually quite amazing to just be here with all the family history. We are lucky [...]

We originally planned to take the train there and back. But [...]

We have a new villa. Bigger actually than our old one but apparently the view isn’t as nice and still no internet.
Justin is working hard to find a solution.
Here are some pictures of the damage from our old villa. We feel terrible for the owners as buying this villa was a family dream [...]
