While visiting New York City in January may seem like a strange idea of fun, we booked an extended weekend to be here for the popular New York Travel & Adventure Show. It was also a great excuse to come to this wonderful city to enjoy some great food and take in a Broadway show. […]
We had been curious about scuba diving in the Bahamas for a while. We have friends that had spent time at Stuart Cove’s in Nassau, and we also heard about other good dive spots on Grand Bahama. The Bahamas is well known for its shark diving, and I must say, that made us a little […]
Taking an excursion with the cruise ship isn’t always necessary. It all depends on what you want to do and how easy it is to venture out on your own. Much of this is port specific, as some ports are within walking distance of activities and sites while others are further away and might require […]
When we first saw a 10-day cruise itinerary sailing from Rome to Athens with no sea days, we knew this was a cruise for us. We are not big fans of sea days, and this cruise didn’t have any, so it was ideal. On top of that we would be able to add a pre- […]
If there is one thing better than travel, it’s got to be free travel! We just love getting upgrades or free flights with the points we’ve managed to collect. We have travel rewards cards that collect points, we of course collect points with our favorite airlines and hotels, and we also collect points through shopping portals. […]

Exploring impressive Roman vestiges that reveal Rome’s long and fascinating history and visiting divine religious sites including the world’s largest church, St. Peter’s Basilica, top the list. One of our favorite things to do in Rome is simply to roam around […]

There are over 1,000 orchid species including many exotics. The grounds also have a beautiful hardwood hammock, a wetlands area, and many mature fruit trees. There are also fern gardens […]
Once simply a winter ski resort, Mont-Tremblant has transformed into a year-round tourist destination. Approximately 80 miles (130 km) north of Montreal in the Laurentians, Mont-Tremblant is just over an hour’s drive along the main highway A-15 from Montreal. We would encourage you to take the smaller route QC-327, which is the old highway. While it may […]
