After spending five days solely at the Gran Caribe All-Inclusive Family Resort, we were ready for something other than virgin margaritas in every possible flavor and swimming 18 hours a day. We decided to rent a car, which was delivered to us at the resort, and travel through the Mexican Riviera. At least as far as we could reasonably...

We started a tradition the year we went to Iceland: Buy a book in each place we visit. We started this tradition in Iceland, specifically, because we celebrated Christmas here and it is an Icelandic tradition to give or get a new book on Christmas Eve and spend the night reading it. This practice is called jólabókaflóð. We absolutely...

Cancun has never been at the top of our list for places we were even remotely interested in going. Cancun is synonymous with spring break bikinis and extremely poor judgement involving copious amounts of alcohol. When we found Panama Jack's in Cancun we decided to risk it and we took a break from the bitter Utah winter to travel...
How Not to Celebrate the 4th of July in Korea as an American Expat
We have had some pretty epic 4th of July celebrations! One year, we flew to NYC to take the kids to the hallmark 5th Avenue FAO Schwarz store for a spontaneous 24 hour trip; another year we spent the summer in Annecy, France and pushed our celebrations out 10 days to match up with Bastille Day; one year, we...

Nothing is as synonymous with cruising as a buffet, right? That, plus the cigarette smoke filtering into our room is pretty much most of what we remember about cruising with Carnival during the worst travel experience of our lives.
