I am partner to the man of my dreams, a mother of three amazing kiddos, and I am a forever and incorrigible wanderer. Travel is my passion, meeting people "where they are" is my fuel. Where to next?
Well, I am going to have to do a fast forward here as I have been incredibly remiss at blogging the Schorr wanderings over the last many months. We’ve been living in Charlotte, North Carolina since January, supporting Eitan so he could finish high school and get on track for college or whatever his next … More Another change is a Comin’…
The last few weeks have been incredibly busy – filled with visitors, a camino, more visitors, and the growing anticipation of a summer in Seattle reacquainting ourselves with old friends. As the weather gets sunnier, the temperature starts to creep up from blustery to gorgeous, and stuff is blooming all over the place, it drives … More Summer is Nearly Here…I Love this City!
I was thrilled that Andrew decided that he wanted to experience a Camino – a long walk similar to what Ruthie and I did together last Spring in Spain. Andrew met us a day before we finished last year and walked the last bit with us into Santiago – and he obviously took great joy … More Our Camino in France: One Step at a Time
I was supposed to be headed to Los Angeles two weeks ago to spend some extended time with my folks. We managed to get a full quorum of the Schorr clan booked to show up for the family gathering we all really love each year. We even kept Eitan’s booking to join us a secret. … More This is tough…
We took a day trip today to the monastery at Montserrat about an hour from the center of Barcelona. Andrew and I had been there before with Ruth, but she wanted to show her boyfriend Simon this amazing place. The monastery is set into some unusually shaped mountains, and there are wonderful hiking trails to … More Montserrat – A Magnificent Gem Just Outside Barcelona
Amidst the flurry of December visitors to Barcelona, we were able to set aside a full week for just us five to get away for a bit of R & R together. Ruth finished finals, Eitan completed his first semester at Avon, and we’ve managed to loose Ari from the Microsoft merry go round to … More Tenerife: Family Time in the Canary Islands
It was terrific to reconnect with Andrew’s relatives when we were in the east. Though the circumstances of Aunt Helaine’s passing were difficult and sad, getting to spend time with my brother-in-law and his two awesome sons, our cousins and their kids was a silver lining. It is my hope that this brief connection rekindles the … More There Really is NOTHING Like Family
Aunt Helaine – charming, gracious, effusive, witty, feisty, tender Aunt Helaine – passed away surrounded by her family this last weekend. I loved Helaine from the moment I met her when Andrew and I were engaged many years ago. She immediately knew that we were cut from some of the same no-nonsense cloth, and she … More Love is a frequent flier
It’s the little things that matter sometimes Andrew and I have been here for a couple of days, staying in the apartment of a energetic 22 year old named Teun. Teun is an entrepreneur…he rents out his small but very cozy flat through airbnb, provides basic necessities like linens, towels, soaps, candles for mood lighting … More Some Other Cool and Unusual Things That Happened in Amsterdam
Uh, oh…Out walking along the Amstel canal this morning after a couple of days meeting wonderful clients and enjoying mobile working and playing with Andrew, I may be falling in love again. Of course my greatest love is Andrew, whose birthday it is today and we will celebrate in a cozy restaurant called Lulu here … More Amsterdam: Stealing My Heart
