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…
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…
Christmas is just around the corner – so I thought I’d write a post for that ever pressing question I get each year from my family. So what on earth do you want this year? Shopping for frequent travelers and foodies can be tough. So we take the guesswork out of…
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…
The small mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina is one happening place! But this wasn’t always the case. In fact, the town was considered pretty rough up until the late 1980’s before the artists moved in and the tourism industry took off. It’s hard to believe today as we walked around…
It’s my birthday! Every year, Kevin and I like to travel somewhere special to celebrate (and you know, cushion the blow of getting another year older!). Kevin had a conference in Atlanta, so we figured that I could fly out and spend the weekend nearby. That’s when he came up with…
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog post. Part of this is because I’ve been swamped with my day job. But another part is that I’m slightly bitter since my last blog post completely disappeared. My server had a meltdown of sorts. Sigh… I’m over it (not really!). But I’m…
Typically, Kevin and I love to take a 2 week vacation. For most Americans, taking 2 full weeks of vacation is often seen as extravagant (as our European friends know, this barely scratches the surface to truly get away). This year, however, we were both short on time due to…
