Vienna, Austria

Vienna was a very beautiful city and we enjoyed our time there immensely. But it did not make the cut for one of my favorite places on the trip. It was very full of fancy and beautiful architecture, so if that’s your thing, definitely plan to stop! That doesn’t interest me as much but weContinue reading “Vienna, Austria”

Falmouth, Jamaica and River Tubing

Falmouth is a less popular cruise port to stop in which means that any excursions you’re looking to book will require some travel time. The more common destination is Ochos Rios or even Montego Bay. In Falmouth there was only room for one other ship to dock while we were there unless other tendered in.Continue reading “Falmouth, Jamaica and River Tubing”

Cruising for a deal

A couple weeks ago my family returned for a week long Caribbean cruise together on Royal Caribbean. We had such a great time coming together from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Nebraska to spend a whole week of vacation time together! Though not everyone else in the family is as big into travel hacking as IContinue reading “Cruising for a deal”

I’m often asked if I would recommend a cruise to other travelers. My answer is YES to anyone who has never been on one before!

I really wanted to do the Half Dome hike there ever since I learned about it and we decided to go for it Labor Day weekend thisContinue reading “The Most Intense Travel Booking Yet”

Seattle: Pikes Place Market and Chihuly Garden and Glass

Although we hadn’t planned on it, we decided to spend our last day of our trip exploring Seattle! We decided to start our morning at Pike’s Place Market, famous for its fish throwing and variety of fresh bouquets, among other stalls. We arrived around 9:30am and things were still getting set up for the morning.Continue reading “Seattle: Pikes Place Market and Chihuly Garden and Glass”

Olympic National Park, Day Two: Hoh Rainforest and Ruby Beach

After sleeping a full 10 hours in Port Angeles we woke up quite refreshed the next morning and ready to get an early start on the day! Breakfast was included at our hotel so grabbed that and then hit the road, driving back out the same way we had gone the day before. We madeContinue reading “Olympic National Park, Day Two: Hoh Rainforest and Ruby Beach”

Olympic National Park, Day 1: Port Angeles, Marymere Falls and Sul Doc Falls

<a Since we had flown into Seattle late the night before, we slept in a bit our first morning in Seattle. We stayed at the Ramada Inn & Suites that was about .5 miles from the hotel which was perfect since we were too tired to drive very far. No complaints about the hotel, itContinue reading “Olympic National Park, Day 1: Port Angeles, Marymere Falls and Sul Doc Falls”
