    I took a day trip to Amsterdam with dreams of seeing the Van Gogh museum, the Resistance Museum, and The Anne Frank House so with much to do I figured the 24 hour Amsterdam city card would be helpful. I was dreadfully wrong. You can buy tickets for The Van Gogh museum online but then…

    In Honor of Halloween With Halloween coming up at the end of the week, I thought we could talk a bit about Salem. Salem, MA is a New England fall favorite destination.  It is close by the water so it can be really chilly, but what better place to be around Halloween then the location…

    194 Park Ave Portland, Maine Checked out the original location on Park Ave. A couch with a table of chairs around a coffee table, 2 2 tops, and about 5 stools make up the seating space for this hugely popular establishment. (All of which are by the door brrrrrrr in the winter– dress accordingly.)  I…

    A couple weeks ago I wrote about my first time ever Horseback riding which was in Napoli in September of 2015. We rode up Mt. Vesuvius. So obviously being in another land with volcanoes I knew I had to keep up the trend and ride a horse in Iceland too. During my final weekend in…

    In May of 2013 I went down to the Amalfi Coast for the very first time. As someone who likes to have a bit of a plan going into anything I did a search on the Goggle for things to do. One of the things that popped up was to do a hike called The…

    I fell in love in Iceland.  Not in the way I fell in love in Italy.  In Italy, from the moment I arrived I felt like I had come home.  And with home, you love it, but there are things you also hate about it.  It’s crazy and chaotic, but you really wouldn’t have it…

    A little background on me. I’ve been saying for most of my adult life that Prince Harry was my backup plan. It was all a joke until he married Meghan Markle, a woman with my first name, also Catholic, also not from England, also not fully white, and who happened to also be an actor…

    The Fontana di Trevi doesn’t feel like any fountain I had seen before.  I’m used to the ones in malls and parks and even though Buckingham Fountain in Chicago and Bethesda Fountain in New York City are both pretty, they are nothing compared to the Fontana di Trevi. As I followed the signs to get to the Fontana di Trevi…

    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…
