Can you really do London in 48 hours?? Yes, you can! Obviously, you can’t do everything. But you can actually hit most of the major highlights even if you only have 2 days or a weekend. London is the absolute best stopover city! If you are flying British Airways from the U.S. then you can fly directly to Heathrow and…
How do you even begin to choose a place to visit in Spain? Rich culture and history run deep in every Spanish city and village, making it very hard to decide which destinations to include in your trip! If you’ve only got a few days and you want to see as much as possible in that time, I recommend going…
Visiting Mont Saint-Michel felt like stepping into a time machine and being tossed out of the portal into the Middle Ages. It’s over a THOUSAND years old. Actually, closer to about 1,200 years old! The fortress evolved over several hundreds of years, but dates back to the 8th century. The only other placed I’ve traveled to that is even close…
If you’ve seen shows like ‘Band of Brothers’ and ‘Saving Private Ryan’ then you might already have a picture of Normandy in your mind. D-Day was a World War II turning point for Allied troops in the effort toward taking back France from German control and eventually ending the war, changing the course of history. Visiting such a place was…
I feel very blessed to say that I have traveled pretty abundantly in my 32 years. Up until this year, I had been to 38 states, Mexico, Canada, and a few Caribbean island nations.

My husband is a musician and the artist he works with was part of the entertainment for a radio station sponsored cruise, so I got to tag along with all the other families of…

So let me ask you, what’s the first image that pops into your head when you hear the words “Downton Abbey?” Raise your hand if it’s one of the hundreds of scenes featuring the glorious and centuries old structure that…
Portland is one of those cities that everyone needs to experience at some point in their life, in my opinion. I had been there once as a teenager, but didn’t really get to see or do much. It was more of a stopover than a visit. At the beginning of May this year, my husband was traveling along the West…
The Bahamas are a hot cruise destination for many reasons, but one reason is because the islands are so close to the Southeast coast of Florida! You can book a quick 2-3 night weekend getaway, or you can choose to have a few more days in paradise and book a 4-5 night cruise. If you’re not into cruising, consider booking…
