We rented a car to travel from Ortisei to spend a couple of days in Sanremo in the Italian Riviera (on the recommendation of our friend Luigi). The first leg of the drive down the mountain was quite harrowing but very beautiful. The scenery gradually changed to vineyards and then we reached the coast. We…

After a train ride and a bus trek up into the mountains, we arrived at our home in the Dolomites for the next 21 days! We had a one bedroom flat in the charming town of Ortisei (St. Ulrich), a mix of German/Austrian and Italian cultures and cuisine. Signs were in German, Italian and Ladin…

The flight to Munich was a success! I was very excited to see my humans when they picked me up from cargo (and I was beyond excited to get out of that crate and have some water). We gathered all our luggage and got on a train to the city center. After that flight experience,…

I’ve been very busy in my world travels and Prime left her laptop in the States, so I’m trying to catch up on my posts (Spare has graciously loaned his laptop to Prime). I’ll start with our journey east… We left Chicago on January 3rd and headed to Rochester to return Fritz to school. It…

Well, it’s been a busy time and I’ve been lax in my blogging duties (I thought things would slow down in retirement…that has not been the case!)! I absolutely loved our time in Door County and was very sad to leave. The view was unbeatable and the town of Sister Bay is quite charming. The…

Greetings from Sister Bay, Door County, Wisconsin! A lot has happened since my last post, so I’ll start at the beginning… We moved out of our Union Pier, Michigan pad and I got to stay with the Florek Family while my humans went to Salt Lake City to visit my boy sibling. I was so…

The update I know everyone has been waiting for…the euchre tournament results! My humans headed to The Hilltop Bar in Laporte, Indiana where 28 fierce competitors played euchre (there was also a dart tournament happening at the same time, luckily no one asked them to join that one). Spare ending up “winning” last place and…

Well, the Cubbies had a great run and even though my humans are sad it came to an end, they made new friends at the local Cubs bar and were invited to play in a euchre tournament. I don’t have high hopes for their success, but I’m sure they will have a good time. As…

It’s been a fun first week here in Michigan! The weather has been amazing and warm, definitely doesn’t feel like fall yet. We had our first visitor! Uncle Todd came by for dinner and some wine (and he gave me an appropriate amount of attention)! Prime and Spare found a fun local bar to watch…
