That’s a question we get all the time. I try to answer it, but it’s not that simple. It’s like asking me to pick my favorite pair of shoes! We have loved (almost) every place we’ve been, for different reasons. So, being the diplomatic, facilitative, terrible decision-maker that I am, I’ve categorized my favorites. It’s […]
I think we only heard English once the entire time we were in Cádiz. It was awesome. Its beaches are definitely a tourist destination, but mostly for the Spaniards. Cádiz, the oldest continuously inhabited city in western Europe, is only connected to the mainland by a small strip of land. It’s pretty far down there […]
After I got our Croatia itinerary mostly ironed out, it occurred to me that a day trip to Montenegro was within reach. I asked Scott what he thought about the idea and he said, “I’ve aaalways wanted to go to Montenegro!!!” What??? When I asked him why he’s never mentioned this lifelong dream, he jumped […]
If you see a sign that says “Cold Drinks” with an arrow that appears to point nowhere, follow it. We ordered some cold drinks and a can of Pringles just so we could sit there and enjoy the view. The old town of Dubrovnik is a walled city set right on the sea. You can […]

Or, that his true birthplace remains “unknown”, but we for sure know that he lived in this house right here for at […]
I have a newfound appreciation for windshields. I’m not sure which is worse: getting a bug bite, or getting hit in the face by a bug at 40 mph. The former usually goes unnoticed at the time of the event, but then you’re left with the itchy bite; whereas the second stings at the time […]
“Four passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour (a three hour tour)” If you’re not familiar with Gilligan’s Island, I recommend you have a listen to the theme song before proceeding. It was stuck in my head the entire time we were in Hvar, so I feel it’s important that you understand […]
I fell in love the minute we landed. No, actually, it was before that – it was at my first glimpse of the turquoise waters dotted with islands that loosely follow the jagged coastline. Ok, maybe it was even as early as the Michael Palin’s New Europe special we watched several months ago. Croatia was […]
