Ready, set, go — just have 5 days in Mexico City? Below is a fantastic 5 day Mexico City itinerary to cover a lot of ground. Mexico City is the ultimate comeback story. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, things got a little rough (to say the least!). But fast forward…
The Christmas time fun continues with the family in Tampa, Florida. This year, my mom planned for us all to do a food walking tour of Tampa’s historic Ybor City, located just northeast of downtown. Let’s just say, this food tour went MUCH smoother than the one Kevin and I planned last…
Kevin and I headed to Tampa for Christmas to see the family. It’s becoming our annual tradition – now our 4th year doing so. And each year, we’ve manage to do some type of fun activity together. A lot of places are closed in Tampa over the Christmas holidays, which…
I love the holidays – eating all the food, spending time with family and friends and escaping the daily routine. But best of all, Kevin and I got a bonus day off from work right before the break. So I decided to see what fun activity we could do. That’s when I remembered…

Here are some of LA’s best places to get in the spirit — from over-the-top events to under-the-radar spots around…
My mom bought me a food walking tour through Old Town Pasadena for my birthday. Okay, so my birthday was back in August. I sure know how to stretch out a celebration, right? But to be fair, Kevin and I have been gone a lot of weekends… And there was that…
For this year’s Thanksgiving, Kevin and I went back to Washington, DC to see the fam. It’s definitely been awhile! Last year, we spent Thanksgiving in San Diego since I was still on crutches after the first of many knee surgeries. But I’m back on my feet again. And braved LAX…
Kyoto is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever visited. There aren’t many places that I can think of with so many temples, cultural artifacts and manicured gardens like in Kyoto. We had 2 days here and these were our favorite activities — Day 1: Cycle Kyoto Kyoto is one…
