Grand Adventure 2017 – The Grand Recap

After twenty-seven days, away from home, we’re now back home and I’d give anything to be starting this trip over again. If you said Joel you and Jenn can go to all of these places again tomorrow, I’d say give us ten minutes so we can pack our bags. Before we left on this trip I wasn’t sure we would have had as great of a time as we did.

Grand Adventure 2017 Day 25: Can I Take a Picture?

It's been a long road to get here, but today is the second to last day of our Grand Adventure, and one that we've been looking forward to since we booked our flights nearly nine months ago. This morning we woke up at 5 AM and were downstairs at The Lodhi a few minutes after 6 AM to meet up with our driver Sanjay who was going to take us on the 220KM journey from Delhi to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal.

Grand Adventure 2017 Day 24: A Piece of Humble Bread

I love days like today. The ones that are unexpected surprises. We woke up this morning at a leisurely 7 AM and made our way downstairs to the hotel's main restaurant for breakfast. We were fortunate enough to get breakfast included with our hotel room which meant we could just order whatever we wanted from the menu. Jenn went with pancakes, and I had a two egg breakfast with bacon, sausage, and toast. They also brought us a pastry basket and fruit to start with. Everything was delicious and it gave us the energy we needed for the day.

Grand Adventure 2017 Day 23: Gobble Gobble

This morning when we woke up Jenn wished me a happy gobble gobble, and it took me at least a minute to realize what she was talking about. Being on this trip for over three weeks I'm completely lost in where we are and what day it is. But its true, today is Thanksgiving, and it looked completely different than any other Thanksgiving either of us has ever experienced.

Grand Adventure 2017 Day 22: Grand Highlights

After a great start to Bangkok yesterday, we woke up this morning eager and ready to get back out there and enjoy more of the beautiful city. We woke up a little after 6 AM. I went for a run at the gym and we were down at breakfast at the St. Regis a little before 8 AM. One of the other perks we got when booking the hotel through American Express was free breakfast. And wow was that a perk at this hotel.
