Traveling with kids is sometimes challenging. Many people question whether or not you should do it at all until they reach “a certain age.” But then there are others who start traveling with their children almost from the moment they are born. Childhood is fleeting… we all hear it said in many ways. So why […]
Many months ago, Episode 50 got you all excited about tackling your travel bucket list. But there is one pesky problem… how are we going to PAY for this? Sadly, none of us have discovered a money tree growing in our backyards, so how can we make our dreams come true when it comes to […]
We love to talk about Walt Disney World on this podcast, and some people who aren’t super fans like us sometimes wonder why we keep going back. Well, it’s because as many times as we’ve been to Central Florida, there is still a ton of stuff that we haven’t experienced. It’s not just Disney either. […]
Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872 “as a public park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people”, but it wasn’t until August 25, 1916 that President Woodrow Wilson signed an act creating the National Park Service that placed all of the parks were under one jurisdiction. Today there are over 400 National Parks […]
Zika, Chikungunya, ISIS – oh my! We travel to experience new cultures, sights, and wonders. But we also live in a world that is not at peace and bad things happen, both natural disasters and man-made conflict. When bad things happen, does it (or should it) affect your travel plans? We thought we would share our opinions […]
Hawaii is the 8th-smallest and the 11th-least populous, but the 13th-most densely populated of the fifty U.S. states. It is made up of many many islands spread over about 1500 miles. But most people know Hawaii as the eight main islands and the very southeastern end of the archipelago. In order from northern most to southernmost, those islands are Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui and the Island […]
If you love to visit big cities, then London has to be at the top of your list. Rich in history, culture, shopping, and excitement, you can stay busy in London for weeks without seeing it all. So today we thought we would talk about the basics of London and perhaps inspire you to get […]
There is a famous adage about life that says it is not about the destination, but it’s about the journey. However, when traveling, it often really is about the destination, and the journey is just something to endure in order to finally reach that destination. When traveling halfway around the world, flying is really the […]
Last week’s episode focused on Elizabeth sharing her recent experience with river cruising. But with all the information to share about the ship itself in the previous podcast, we decided to devote a second episode to the ports of call on The Rhine she visited. Join us as we talk about… *Basel, Switzerland *Breisach (Freiburg, Riquewihr) […]
We have recorded several episodes on cruises and many are huge fans of ocean cruising. However, there is another cruise option out there that is considered one of the fastest growing industry segments out there: River Cruising! The ships are smaller, the ports are more intimate, and the whole experience is far more inclusive. Recently, Elizabeth […]
Travel is about making memories that last a lifetime and broadening your world view and your perspective. One thing that pretty much everyone does on vacation is buy souvenirs. Some of us have a “go to” item that we have to buy on every trip, thereby building a sort of memory collection to display and […]
Right now, all of us are in the midst of the holiday bustle. Which is to say, we are all right at that point when we wonder why we do this every year and why can’t we all just go to the beach for a week?! So we thought this would be a good time to talk […]
Thousands of islands make up the Caribbean Island region. Antigua and Barbuda have 37 of them!

Ho! Ho! Ho! We talk about Walt Disney World a lot on this podcast, but this week, we wanted to talk about this wonderful place at the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year…” (no, not the Food and Wine Festival!) – the winter holidays. If you love Holiday Traditions you will not be disappointed! From the […]
Cruising is a wonderful vacation option, as it allows you to unpack once and travel all over a given area of the world. Your food and entertainment is included (with some exceptions) and some drinks are included (with some exceptions). Shore excursions are rarely included. But sometimes you like to know that everything is all […]
Oh, that City by the Bay! Welcome special guest Linda! We mentioned last week that Linda currently lives in San Francisco. Apart from a three year stint in Hong Kong, Linda has been a resident of San Francisco since the summer of 2000, she has truly come to love the city. What better way to […]
Tourism is growing exponentially all over Asia, but many Americans are still a bit intimidated by the customs, food, and even the place names in this beautiful area of the world. So this week, we asked Linda if she would share her experience and knowledge of China, Hong Kong, Japan and Southeast Asia with us […]
We are very excited to talk to Outlander agent Aimee tonight about her recent visit to Sandals Emerald Bay, in Exuma, Bahamas.

Way back in our third episode when we were mere babes in arms… we talked about the Norwegian Getaway. Elizabeth had been fortunate enough to be on board for one of her pre-inaugural sailings when she was fresh off the shipyard and shared that experience then. Now the Getaway has been sailing for well over a year […]
We book trips for a lot of families of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have one kid or six, travel presents some challenges that you might not experience when traveling with only adults.
