“Will Work for Vacation”

September 13, 2012 — 1 Comment

Just to be clear before we get going here.  You know, so there aren’t any…surprises?

What we are not:

  • Blog designers
  • Professional bloggers
  • Professional travelers
  • Professional writers
  • Professional photographers
  • Professional food critics
  • Technologically gifted in any way
  • 100% educated about the places we visit ( ‘is Quebec a city? Or, um, a…state?’)
  • Multilingual (in any country we do learn how to ask for the bill…and say thank you. Sometimes, that’s it)
  • Culturally sensitive 100% of the time (not gonna lie, we look for Starbucks every place we go)
  • Careful planners (‘OK, now how the heck do we get to Helsinki from here?’)

What we are:

  • Two people who like vacation.  We like it a lot.

The posts we make here are basically our version of the old school ‘what I did on vacation’ slide show.  We are hopeful we will get it together enough to make posts!  However, you should know in advance that this could be the one and only post.  Minimal time investment on everyone’s part, HOORAY?  However, since we spent several nights figuring this whole blog thing out and getting it up and running (on an iPad with intense Google usage and two ‘phone-a-friend’ calls for help) and $39 on a pre-baked template, we’d like to squeeze at least TWO posts out of the whole enterprise.  We are thinking that posts may or may not include books we read before/while/during vacation, sites we visited, food we ate, and stuff we wanted to buy/see/do.  Of course, posts may end up being a bunch of random semi-coherent rants.  To be honest, we don’t know what will happen here.  Like we said, maybe nothing.

In summary, we are happy to share our adventures in ‘semi-professional highly amateur’ travel with friends, family, and anyone who cares (or who maybe doesn’t care but stumbled on this site while trying to find a passport service).
