When we visit a new place, we love living as the locals do - participating in local customs, eating the native foods, walking through their neighborhoods, and everything else. When we came to Iceland for Christmas, we wanted to have an Icelandic Christmas. We wanted to eat skate on Þorláksmessa, (dish of putrefying shark), and reindeer on Christmas. We...
Muuido Island is a tiny island located off the western coast of South Korea. It is covered in lush forests and pristine beaches with low entry water access and beautiful views. It's in close proximity to the ICN Airport, and two of South Korea's largest cities: Seoul and Incheon. If you're looking for an Incheon Beach, Muuido Island is...
There is no telltale sign of a beautiful oasis hidden on the other side of a dense jungle, a silky soft black sand beach in Puerto Rico except for an itty bitty wooden sign off the side of the road with a small hand drawn arrow pointing towards a narrow staircase
In fact, it’s quite likely if you don’t know...
While touring the Kuranda rainforest in Cairns, Australia (post coming soon) we had our first encounter with the DUKW. This is an amphibious vehicle that puts the all terrain, in all terrain. DUKW is not an acronym, like you might think, it’s actually the manufacturer's factory serial letters. This bad boy can cover any swath of land you throw...
Of all the Disney parks in the entire world, Tokyo Disneyland is our family's favorite (see our rankings)!
Tokyo Disney offers two parks, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea. The property as a whole is unique in that all the other Disney properties are set apart from the mainland. In Orlando you have to enter a compound, quite literally. At Hong Kong...
Even the giraffes peeking through the floor to ceiling domed windows will be eyeing your food enviously at Sanaa, where Africa meets India to create lavish and aromatic dishes sure to please even the most tepid traveler.
Sanaa integrates all the flavors you’ll find at the Animal Kingdom into one. From the far Eastern borders of Mongolia in Asia,...
Disney Cruise Line labels their evening cruise entertainment “Broadway Style Shows”, and it’s not a far off comparison. Disney knows a thing or two about entertainment, from their vast production of movies to their in house productions.
We definitely can’t visit Animal Kingdom without frequenting the awesome Festival of the Lion King show.
When it comes to the shows...
At the top of the hill at Boston Common you can’t miss the New Massachusetts State House with her 23K gold gilded round dome roof. In 1795 Samuel Adams, Paul Revere and William Scollay watched as 15 white horses, one for each state in the Union, pulled the cornerstone up the hill containing a time capsule. It was first...
I was completely oblivious to what was going on, until the screaming and the shouting became so loud and overpowering that it was impossible to tune out. The three older kids and I were swimming in the ocean at family beach Balneario El Escambrón. The beach here is protected by a coral reef that creates a half moon circular...
Unlike the deflating and deplorable Frozen Deck Party, Pirate Night on the Disney Magic is a captivating, intriguing and lively evening filled with excitement, unpredictability and even fireworks - this is a Disney cruise after all. I think part of what made this night so special was the fact that coming in, we didn’t know what to expect, so...
