I woke up in the dark, not immediately remembering that we were actually in Gibraltar, then feeling completely overjoyed and giddy that I was one day away from marrying the guy sleeping next to me. That excitement completely eclipsed the reality of our lost luggage. One of my favorite things in the whole world are… Continue Reading
Gibraltar Wedding Diary: Day 1, Part 2
Today we continue the saga of my Gibraltar wedding… I didn’t particularly enjoy the drive along the Spanish coast… actually, Robert says I was a “silent, brooding, thundercloud.” The architecture and the endless billboards and strip malls reminded me of Florida, so I think we can trust his recollection :-) He never drives faster than… Continue Reading
Gibraltar Wedding Diary: Day 1, Part 1

We’re getting married in a little over a week and we still haven’t settled on a honeymoon destination. A delayed honeymoon was always part of our plan because of Robert’s autumn lecture schedule,… Continue Reading
