March 28, 2023 09:00 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MB

Brussels is not just known for these things but for some of the BEST things - waffles, chocolate, beer, and fries. You can find all of these treats in abundance in Brussels. There are also many traditional Belgian restaurants that serve dishes such as steak tartare, mussels, and French fries. Fun fact - what we Americans refer to as French fries actually originated in Belgium. So we should be calling them BELGIAN fries…. although that doesn’t have the same ring as French fries, does it?  B...

Most Memorable Travel Story - "What To Do And Don't In The Airport"

January 31, 2023 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

What To Do and Don't In The Airport You must tip the early bag check guy outside. $5 is enough. Don't be "that" person. They will not be gentle with your bags.  Use a wrist strap for your wallet or a side purse to keep items you continuously have to pull out. Check to ensure TSA Precheck is on your boarding pass before leaving the check-in kiosk. When going through security, do NOT rush the people in front of you.  Start preparing before you even get to the table when going through secu...

Once Upon a December at Ruth Eckerd Hall

January 24, 2023 10:00 - 9 minutes - 9.07 MB

One of my all-time favorite movies as a child was Anastasia. From the story to the soundtrack, the characters, and the costumes, it was a magical play on what happened to the youngest Romanov daughter, Anastasia.  That's why, when I found out the Broadway musical was making its way down to Florida, I jumped at the chance to see it. The musical was playing at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida. Ruth Eckerd Hall is a performing arts hall including all sorts of events, from Broadway music...

Houmas House- A Historic Gem Hidden on the Mississippi  The first word that comes to mind when thinking about our stay at the Houmas House Home and Gardens is magical.

Boujee and Breezy in the Bahamas (Ft Baha Mar)

September 27, 2022 04:00 - 14 minutes - 13.2 MB

The top two places to stay at are Hyatt Grand’s Baha Mar or the infamous Atlantis. I’ve traveled down to the Bahamas four times and every time we’ve stayed at Baha Mar and it has never missed the mark.  Baha Mar is a quick 15 minute drive from the International Airport and you can just get a taxi when you walk out. For us, it cost less than $30. Getting to the Bahamas is also extremely easy, especially when you fly out of Fort Lauderdale, FL. It’s only a 50 minute flight and BahamasAir, Ame...

Story Time! This year I got married and my husband and I planned an epic month trip all over.

From spectacular hiking to unique art and delicious food, Colorado is my all-time favorite place for multiple trips during the year; in the summer and w...

Gloria Ferrer Winery Since we hired a driver to pick us up from San Francisco, we decided to put two renowned wineries on our itinerary that day before being dropped off at our hotel in downtown Napa Valley. We had to drive through Sonoma, so we made that our first stop at Gloria Ferrer Winery. The most beautiful views I had ever seen as it had a long driveway up to the wine tasting and you overlooked Sonoma while diving right into your pairings.  We chose to do Taste on the Terrace, which ...

May 24, 2022 04:00 - 17 minutes - 15.8 MB

After planning of months, our Napa Valley trip was destined to begin in San Francisco. Flying from south Florida to California meant our flight options required a layover, so we chose to splurge to fly first class on American Airlines (AA). American Airlines seemed to have the best options to fly from Southwest Florida. After a pretty easy travel experience, thanks to TSA Pre-Check and Global Entry, we arrived at our hotel, the Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf which was just. short walk to all the...

Where to Stay  Naay Curamoria Tulum Hotel Caruma - went through booking.com, but also can book directly through them. Their suite style room was perfect and we stayed there comfortably for 3 nights and 4 days. There is a spa style bathroom shower, but the best part had to be how kind the entire staff was and the rooftop bar and pool. If you’ve been researching where to stay in Tulum, this location was so centralized that we were able to walk around and only take a scooter when we needed to ...

From Hanging Bridges to Whitewater Rafting in La Fortuna, Costa Rica

February 22, 2022 05:00 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

After listening to and watching so many Costa Rica travel guides, I think my knowledge on this beautiful destination far exceeds all I should know, and because of that, we had an amazing trip. Traveling is not all it’s cracked up to be - it’s messy, uncomfortable at times, but ultimately, it’s so rewarding and helps me create memories that truly do last a lifetime. Prior to meeting my boyfriend, I was the biggest advocate for solo-travel. It’s empowering and bold and makes me feel alive. Ov...

The Luxury Side from Los Suenos to Nayara Springs, Costa Rica

There are great airlines that fly to Costa Rica. For a pricey, more comfortable choice, American Airlines and JetBlue regularly fly and typically out of international hubs.
