I'm just your basic hard-working, underpaid, overworked elementary school teacher. I've been living and teaching in Florida for over 11 years now. I own my own house which I am constantly updating inside and out. I split my time on the weekends doing two things---hanging out at the local Irish pubs and working on teacher stuff (correcting tests, papers, & writing lesson plans). I love to travel and I've made it to 42 of the 50 states and 6 other countries so far (Canada, Bahamas, England, Ireland, Wales, & France). All that travel on a teacher's salary--I'd say that's pretty impressive. LOL

Paris Rail Day Trip from London
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

A lot to squeeze in one day, but it can be done! Our guide, Sammy, did a wonderful job of making us feel at ease in Paris. I would have liked to have photos of the Champs Elysees and the Arc from the ground instead of on top of a tour bus, but that would be my only complaint. Thankfully we met at a souvenir shop after lunch, as that was our only time/place to shop while in Paris. Overall, a very good trip!

Cambridge and Oxford Historic Colleges of Britain Day Trip
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

The bus rides to Cambridge and between Cambridge and Oxford were quite long. Both universities are beautiful, but we didn't get much time to explore them both on our own. The parts of the universities we did see were amazing, but we also had to squeeze in lunch on our own during the "free time" we had. I think one day for each university would be better to fully appreciate both places.

Blenheim Palace Tour and The Cotswolds Custom Day Trip from London
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

Blenheim Palace was absolutely stunning and the Cotswolds would definitely be my place of residence if I lived in England. We saw the Duke of Marlborough and his son, Lord Edward while we were at the Palace--they're the current residents there! Definitely one of my top two Viator/Evan Evans tours of the vacation!

Tour/Activity
Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and Dover
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

This was my favorite of the 4 tours we did through Viator/Evan Evans! Leeds Castle and its grounds were amazing. Canterbury Cathedral beats all other cathedrals hands-down! Dover was a quick stop, but it was a clear enough day to see over to France on the other side of the English Channel. Our guide, Sheila, was the best guide--she could be a history professor with all the knowledge she has about these places and England in general!
