Noelle’s Monthly Recap: November 2025

Published on December 4, 2025February 1, 2026 by Noelle2 Comments

After a many year hiatus from writing monthly recaps, I’ve decided to bring them back! There is a lot happening in my life these days, so I’d love to be able to share more with readers.

November was a month of big changes for me. Mark and I moved to England, where he is from, and on the way did a “wrong way around the world” trip to Fiji, New Zealand, and Singapore. While I did hunker down quite a bit to manage all the tasks that come with moving, I also was able to sneak in a quick trip to Manchester and a long weekend in London. Here’s what I got into in November 2025.

Jumping Around in July

July was a month of jumping from destination to destination each weekend – I was only home one weekend all month! Summer just feels like a freer time where it is easier to plan a lot of travel, at least in my family. Continue reading “Jumping Around in July” →

As someone who tends to do well with following through on doing things once I’ve verbalized them (or written them for anyone on the internet to read!), my travel goals each year are important for me to accomplish. In 2017, I made it to every destination on my list sans Austria, so I’m setting the bar high for myself in 2018 as well. Continue reading “Noelle Across The Pond in 2018” →

Noelle’s Monthly Recap: November 2017

Published on December 3, 2017January 16, 2018 by Noelle6 Comments

As was October, November was filled with travel: two trips to California and a road trip to Ohio – although strangely the month didn’t feel that busy. It seems that its only taken four trips to California in the past few months for me to start getting over jet lag of traveling west (and not getting it at all when I return east!). I also hit another “travel to-do” of visiting my 26th state, Ohio! Not knowing what to expect with a trip to Ohio, it was a pleasant surprise to find the town of Marietta, where my family and I visited, to be a vibrant place and that there was plenty to do, even in winter. It also rekindled my enjoyment of road trips, as we passed through areas of Maryland and West Virginia that I hadn’t previously driven through.
