In Edinburgh there’s this really great pie shop. It sells delicious pies, like beef pies, vegetable pies, and sweet pies. When I first went there I got a cottage pie. It had mashed potatoes, shredded beef, and an onion sauce. It was delicious except I don’t like onions. The second time I went there we… Continue reading Pies and other foods

Good Times with Snapple
A few days ago my sister and I found out that we could bike to Wal-Mart, which was about 10 minutes away. We started biking there and buying things, like candy and Snapple. Since then, we have biked there just about everyday, to get Snapple, and only Snapple. My oldest sister got here on Saturday… Continue reading Good Times with Snapple
The spider and swimming♥
The day after we got to Florida we spent the night in my grandparents house. While I was secretly watching Netflix my mother said “Annabelle”, I looked over and she said “what’s that”.

The Hard-to-Work-Out Details of shipping over

After hundreds of plans and ideas, we settled on this one due to the fantastically cheap airfare ($159 on WestJet from Halifax to Glasgow, free 50lb checked bag, free carry on and free movies on the non-stop flight), the fact that Halifax is the last port in North America,… Continue reading Glasgow on October 20!
The Search for a New Expedition Vehicle
We started out with one idea, Jack’s Trip of a Lifetime – Scotland & Ireland. Then, in true DeCorso fashion, we proceeded to make it so complicated and so crazy, considering so many different options. We have considered the Faroe Islands, Halifax, Magadan, Vladivostok, Hirtshal, Reykjavik and made no decision except that we will be… Continue reading The Search for a New Expedition Vehicle
18 Months Have Passed By…
18 months have passed since we returned from our last big trip. During the last 18 months, Ryan spent six months traveling back in South America. Jack and I went to visit Ryan Bolivia for two weeks. We spent six days in Mexico City on the way to Bolivia and we liked it so much… Continue reading 18 Months Have Passed By…
Karma
Money is a little tight at the end of the trip – as it should be, for if we were coming home flush with cash then something would be wrong with the universe. There isn’t much to spend money on in Canada and we don’t need much really. We are just not living in the… Continue reading Karma
