Ashley Brought Home Candy For An Icelandic Candy Taste Test As you have probably gathered by the endless stream of Iceland blog posts (Golden Circle, Reykjanes Peninsula, Day in Reykjavik) and pictures (Iceland Photo Gallery), I went on an epic adventure to Iceland with Melissa. And, we went without Nisheet! Sometimes you just have to have […]

Reykjavik: We woke up to snow! Melissa might not have been that excited since she just made it through another Chicago winter, but I was as happy as a little kid on a snow day. And it actually worked out quite well that this was the snowy day during our trip because we were staying in […]

Reykjanes Peninsula: Day 3 in Iceland consisted of another full day tour from GeoIceland, and this time we explored the Reykjanes Peninsula which was approximately $80 per person. Just like for the previous day’s tour (check out The Golden Circle Tour post), we were picked up in a mini shuttle bus shortly before 9am, and we were off! The […]

The Golden Circle Melissa and I woke up bright and early on our second day in Iceland for a full day tour of the Golden Circle and Northern Lights. This is probably one of the most popular tours in Iceland as it is in close proximity to Reykjavik and it has several must see attractions […]

ICELAND! I can’t believe this trip finally happened, and I’m so incredibly happy that Melissa talked me into going. It was EPIC right from our very first day at the Blue Lagoon! Traveling to Iceland is becoming increasingly easier. There are now several airlines that fly into the capital city of Reykjavik including Delta, Icelandair, […]

MacDill Air Show I have to admit, when Nisheet brought up going to the MacDill Air Show over the weekend, I was kind of bored with the idea. I’ve been to air shows before. Great airshows. And frankly, I’ve grown tired of them. They all seem to be the same. Planes fly over. An announcer […]

Busch Gardens We had some guests visiting us over the weekend from Michigan, so we thought we’d use it as an opportunity to visit Busch Gardens Tampa. We were a bit anxious about the crowds as it is the spring break time of year, so we tried our best to get to the Busch Gardens when it […]

Weekend in Las Vegas (On the Strip) I took Nisheet on a surprise getaway, and we spent the weekend in Las Vegas! Somehow, I managed to keep it a secret until we got to the airport. We walked up to our gate, and the secret was finally revealed! Getting from Tampa Bay to Las Vegas […]

Florida Road Trip As the wise ones like to say, “all good things must come to an end” and so was the case with our great Florida road trip. It was Christmas Eve, and Ashley was insisting we come back to Tampa Bay to celebrate the holidays with her. We decided to make the most […]

The Everglades With the past 4 days spent exploring the space coast, big cities, and beautiful beaches of Florida, we decided to mix things up a bit and explore what Florida’s nature has got to offer to us. As it happened to be, the Everglades National park was on the way home. With one of […]
