San Francisco: Where and What to Eat in the City
Josh and I just spent 4 jam packed days in San Francisco. We did the tourist thing walking 10+ miles all over the city, we spent one day with Josh’s sister hanging out more like a local and the last day was spent meeting some of you in person that we had only met online! […]
What is Housesitting?
We are currently housesitting in California in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We have the great opportunity of watching over 2 horses, 2 cats and 4 dogs. Sound like a lot? The horses are easy, we feed them twice a day. The cats we rarely see (except when they are climbing all over Josh) just make sure […]
Foto Friday: Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
A bridge that has been on my bucket list for awhile is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisoco. We got lucky with clear blue skies and warm weather in February as we walked the 1.7 miles across and back in awe of the iconic bridge.
RTW Budget: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
After driving through Africa, and eating in Spain we were ready to head back to the beach in Rio de Janeiro for 12 days. Our budget was set at $80 per day for two people. Just like in our Spain budget, we expected to spend more than our goal average for the trip. As usual, […]
Tasting Kauai: Culinary Tour With The Locals
When we signed up to spend 3 weeks in Kauai with our friends Meg and Tony from LandingStanding, we knew there was one thing we would be doing a lot of……..eating. You already read last month about my personal Hawaiian food tour through my childhood memories from when I was 6 years old. It was […]
Second Chance Cities Around the World
Have you ever needed to go back to visit a city? (I’m not talking about having to return to eat more pasta in Italy or hanging ten on the crazy surf in Hawaii because you can’t get enough.) During my travels there have been a few key cities around the world that I need to […]
USA Map at Kauai Mini Golf
After we enjoyed 18 holes of mini golf at Kauai mini golf, we checked out their wall map of the USA with pins all over it displaying visitor’s hometowns. This is exactly the type of map we want in our house, only with the rest of the world included!
RTW Budget: Barcelona and Madrid
14 days is all we were able to spend in Spain, split between Barcelona and Madrid, and it wasn’t enough. The food, the street art, the food, the people, the food, the language, did I mention the food? Tapas, olives, Iberian ham, serrano ham, CHEESE, fresh bread, paella, patatas bravas, wine and sangria. We spent […]
Beautiful Sunrise on the NaPali Coast Aboard Holo Holo Charters
We saw a 35 foot whale fully breach less than 20 feet from the boat and land in a massive splash sending crazy waves to our boat, National Geographic style! We stood there collectively screaming “OH MY GOODNESS” with our jaws dropped to the floor of the boat. What seconds ago was just a catamaran […]
