    I’ve been to multiple Barcades in NYC and the one in New Haven, CT as well. So when heading to Austin, Texas for the first time and hearing about Pinballz Arcade I thought I’d check it out. Well Pinballz Arcade is an arcade as you remember them from your youth (if you’re my age or…

    Bad idea. Let me start off by saying I’ve never been one to like organized tours, whether they be walking, bus, or boat. (But the walking one in Napoli was an exception I did enjoy that walking tour.) Granted you can sometimes learn things you wouldn’t if you were on your own, but is it…

    I’ve been posting a lot about my previous travels as traveling is difficult right now. The entire world is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. I haven’t touched on it since launching my blog as the experience is somewhat different depending on where you are in the world and I’m dreaming of happier times. But if…

    Despite growing up in an Italian-American household wine was not big in my family. I do not try to pretend I know anything about it. I know I like it on the sweeter side and I know I definitely do not like it dry. So I never thought of going to a wine tasting as…

    I read online to try the mussels at Le Zinneke, so I headed on over. I must say the menu was a bit overwhelming. They don’t have just mussels. But speaking specifically about the mussels, how do you want them? You have 37 options! I was tired and just decided to order the first on…

    For a long time I stayed at hostels, but as I get older I want more privacy, especially on this trip. So I’ve started renting AirBnBs in both the capacity of private places or just private rooms. On this trip it is a mixture of private rooms in both AirBnBs and hostels as well as…

    In May of 2013 I was in Napoli, Italia for the first time. There was an excursion that was listed up on the hostel board at Hostel of the Sun.  It was to go horseback riding up Mt. Vesuvius. At the time in 2013 I had never been on a horse before and I also didn’t…

    The Fram Museum located in Olso, Norway is located near the Kon-Tiki Museum and the Norwegian Maritime Museum.  The Fram museum tells the story of Norwegian polar exploration with its main focus on three explorers: Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, and Roald Amundsen. The Fram Museum had some interactive areas for children and had more humor…

    As a Penn State Nittany Lion I’ve obviously made friends in Pittsburgh. I’ve been a couple times, but let’s just say it’s been awhile since I’ve graced the city with my presence. It’s just close enough that driving there is a bit annoying and just far enough and flying there seems silly. However, when a…

    The staff is very pleasant. The rooms and lobby are spotless. There is valet parking or a garage for around $35 a day. My room was a corner room with floor to ceiling windows. It’s a 15 floor hotel I’m sure the views from the 15th floor are beautiful. Mine in a lower wasn’t so…
