For the past 5 years, Kevin and I have headed south of the border to Ensenada as part of a long weekend road trip to Mexico’s wine country, Valle De Guadalupe. Sure, there are gorgeous wineries and 5 star restaurants in the Valle. But there are so many things to…
Falconry isn’t just a sport of the past in United Arab Emirates. Owning a falcon is a matter of pride. In fact, a falcon can cost up to $60,000 USD a bird. Kevin and I were invited to check out Abu Dhabi’s Falcon Hospital, considered the world’s top center in falconry…
As anyone who follows us knows, Kevin and I have a pretty adventurous streak — whether its diving with crocodiles in Cabo or swimming at the top of Victoria Falls in Zambia. We just got back from an incredible 7 days in United Arab Emirates, traveling from Dubai to Abu…
Looking for a romantic weekend getaway? Kevin and I just got back from a wedding in Cabo San Lucas, one of Mexico’s most popular resort cities on the Baja peninsula. Cabo makes an easy trip from Los Angeles — especially over a long weekend — since it’s just a 2.5…

Route 66 is legendary — conjuring up images of the golden age of the automobile and roadside America. Decades after the interstate highway system nearly wiped it off the map, the route is still hanging on. Today, one of the best places to see Route 66 in all its glory is…
It’s a road trip adventure! Two weeks in New Zealand is a good chunk of time. Now don’t get me wrong — Kevin and I could have easily spent a month driving around. But sadly, as our fellow Americans know all too well, we only had 2 weeks of vacation….
Kevin and I have been in New Zealand for nearly 2 weeks and the action hasn’t stopped. He’s soon going to think that I’m TRYING to kill him. But who would keep this blog up and running? Three words: ultimate job security! Kevin is totally geared for New Zealand. His…
