Stockholm June 2018

I flew from Newark to Stockholm in mid June.  After a 2 hour nap, I grabbed my camera and headed out.  It was a gorgeous summer day! The skies were partly cloudy with the temperature in the mid 70’s; a little windy though with gusts up to 30 mph.

Shannon – Limerick, Ireland June 2018

I flew from Newark, NJ to Shannon Ireland in early June. After a 45 minute drive to our layover hotel in Limerick, I grabbed my camera, climbed in a cab and headed to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park.  The picture displayed above is the garden as viewed from the Bunratty House.

San Francisco – Hiking the Lands End Trail

I had a long layover in San Francisco a few months ago and needed some exercise to help me sleep in preparation for the all-nighter back to Newark.

I had hiked part of the Lands End Trail on a previous layover and thought it would be a perfect day activity to hike the entire trail.  

Dublin, Ireland June 4, 2017 Walking the Cliff Trail from Bray to Bridgestones

I left Newark 10:30 pm on June 3rd and arrived in Dublin, Ireland the next morning at 9:45.  It was a beautiful cloudless sky in Dublin and I had already decided that sleep could wait; I wanted to hike the Cliff Trail from Bray to Greystones.

I’ve had quite a few layovers in Birmingham and Manchester, UK in the last few months.  Whenever the weather permits, I head out and take pictures of the canals.  Here are a few of the pictures.
