Celebrating New Year's Eve in Amsterdam is absolutely unreal. There are no rules, no laws, and certainly no common sense. It was one of the most bizarre experiences we've had, and also one of the most extraordinary and unforgettable! New Year's Eve in Amsterdam is a celebration of epic proportions where every single person is a part of the...
Staying active is easy to do while sailing on a Disney cruise ship, and the top deck is where the majority of sports activities are - including the Wide World of Sports Deck. Like just about every activity on the cruise ship, these areas are available to all guests, free to use, and based on a first come first serve...
On our first trip to Mexico we were only able to visit one cenote: Dos Ojos. It was love at first sight. Swimming in a cave clear as crystal, shared with local fish where you can see to the very bottom depths, surrounded by a natural cave in which stalactites are covering the ceiling while wading in crisp fresh...
Let’s just start with the obvious cliché: No stop in Key West, Florida is complete without Key Lime Pie. We knew we had to have to it, we wanted it, and we bought it.
Ah, but where to buy it? Not one bakery seems to have an actual claim to possessing the original, or the first, Key Lime Pie...
Not one, but two of the Wonders of the World revolve around lost and abandoned cities of Mayan civilization. One being in Peru: Machu Picchu, and the other in Mexico: Chichen Itza. These civilizations had complex and layered pyramid shaped temples, miles of networked roads that connected each city, and the summer and winter solstice each year manifest celestial...
True, we swore off airbnb last December after our horrific experience in Norway. But then, airbnb reached out to us personally and made good on the situation by offering us nearly a full refund back to our original form of payment. It still took us 8 months to forgive them, and we learned to be much more scrupulous in...
Who knew that Key West was a little slice of the Caribbean just 3 hours southwest of Miami? It makes sense considering it is an island in the middle of the ocean, but I never figured it was covered in pastel painted victorian era style homes, towering mahogany trees lining the sidewalks and boulevards, and friendly pedestrian and bicycle...
One of the stops during our guided tour with Alma’s LDS Tours was the cenote Ik Kil, even though our time was short. We spent a long time at Ek Balam and Chichen Itza with no complaints. The fascination of these ruins were too compelling to tear ourselves away, so we had just 30 minutes to spend the last...
We have always been firmly planted in the Earl of Sandwich is our favorite place to eat in Orlando, Florida category. With it’s sweet and tender bread, perfectly seasoned meat, and the Holiday Sandwich to put all other sandwiches to shame, we had no reason to stray. Until we discovered Sofrito Latin Cafe. What was that I said about...
We’ve been visiting Walt Disney World annually since 2010, and in all those years we’ve never once stayed off property. When you stay on property, the magic begins the second you step off the plane into the Orlando airport. Mickey and his Magical Express picks you up and whisks you away to your resort. You stay on a magical...
