A Girl’s Trip to Amsterdam: Revisiting a Half-Explored Gem – Part Deux

Posted on September 4, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

DAY 3 “¿Que hora es?” asked my mom.  “Son las 9:30 a.m.” We slept in, which is very strange for us.  My mom and I are the type of tourists who are the first ones in line for everything; we’re up early for breakfast, for museum openings, to get on the tour bus.  We were…

A Girl’s Trip to Amsterdam: Revisiting a European Gem

Posted on August 28, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

Returning to Amsterdam had been on my mom’s mind for a while.  She didn’t get to enjoy the city when we visited in December 2017, because she injured her knee a few days before that trip.  We flew out to Amsterdam only for her to remain in the hotel for the better part of the…

The Flying Soles Paint London Red: An Unforgettable Trip – Part Deux

Posted on March 27, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

Bang! Bang! “I’m living in absolute hell,” I think as I cover my face and ears with the extra pillow.  It’s 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, and I could have sworn that no one, I mean no one, would be up at this hour making any type of noise.  The construction in the apartment two floors…

The Flying Soles Paint London Red: An Unforgettable Trip

Posted on March 20, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

“You can use mine.  I packed two adapters,” I said to Curtis.  I opened my purse to find my adapter was missing and, more importantly, my phone was missing.  “Fuck!  I left my phone charging on the train,” I exclaimed. We were in a London cab on our way to our AirBnB when I realized…

Traveling Abroad for the First Time Post-COVID

Posted on February 27, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

The first time I boarded a plane after I left my flight attendant career was in August 2022.  I was anxious and uncomfortable from the minute I walked out of my apartment until the plane reached 10,000 feet. Why did I feel that way?  Perhaps all the trouble that my fellow flight attendants and I…

What to Expect When You Travel in 2023

Posted on January 23, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

Ahh…  Air travel.  A luxury once enjoyed only by the rich is now enjoyed by just about everyone and almost everything.  Commercial air travel has come a long way since its first flight in May 1908. The Golden Age of travel in the 1950s and 1960s, with its “lavish silver-service meals and fine wines” and…

Glen Summit to Jim Thorpe: Riding in Lehigh Gorge State Park – Day 1

Posted on June 30, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

My alarm went off at 6:30 am.  We were required to be at Pocono Biking headquarters at 10:00 am, so it was an early start to our day.  It was a very early start.  I don’t like to feel rushed in the morning, and I have a strict meal routine.  I eat breakfast between 6:00-8:00…

First Bike Tour with Pocono Biking

Posted on June 17, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

“Screw it! I’m going to have to call out sick for my trip, so I can go on my bike trip,” I muttered to myself as I walked to my crash pad at 9:30 pm. It was May 12, 2021, and no flight attendant was taking the bait. No one was interested in picking up…
