It's fitting that the first time I leave the UK, it's with Jackee. I wish she and I could have traveled to London together, but I'm so glad she came to visit!
On the first day she arrived, we hung out at the hostel and just caught up since it's been quite some time since we've seen each other. The following day, we met Kay at Vapiano for dinner. I know I've said it before, but I love the food there! Although, as far as I'm concerned, it's really hard to go wrong with Italian..
The real fun began Friday evening, which is when we flew down to Porto, Portugal for the weekend. When we initially started to plan our trip, Dublin, Paris, and Madrid were among the destinations we were considering; however, then we decided that our goal was to go somewhere interesting but less typical than the usual traveler would venture. That decision landed us in Portugal.
And now some pictures, courtesy of Jackee::
