I know I haven’t posted much about Nice yet, and I promise I will get to it. But today I took a day trip with hostel peeps to Monaco and Menton, so that’s what I’m going to focus on right now. Monaco Getting to Monaco from Nice is a breeze. You can either catch the […]

Montserrat I spent today away from Barcelona at a place called Montserrat which is a mountain top monastery in the Catalonia part of Spain. Getting there can take a little bit of time (just over an hour for the train alone), but it is so well worth it. To get there, you first need to […]

Today was all about Gaudi who is probably the most prolific architect that Spain, or arguably the world, has ever produced.  The only memory I have from being in Barcelona 15 years ago is exploring Park Guell and buying a colorful lizard souvenir.  So, of course, I had to go and see if it was […]

Today I did THE touristy things in Barcelona. La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter. Word to the wise, this is where a lot of people are pickpocketed so wear your money belt and be cautious folks. Gothic Quarter I started the day with a free walking tour with my hostel run by a company called […]

Anchorage Written by Allison: To start our Alaskan adventure, Pete and I flew into Anchorage.  It was a 20 hour journey to get there from Florida, but a destination like Alaska is well worth the travel time.  I […]

Dunedin Only a 15 minute drive from the popular Clearwater Beach and home to the famous Honeymoon Island is Dunedin, Florida. If you don’t want to sound like a tourist, it is pronounced Dun-e-din and comes from Dùn Èideann which is the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh. Although the city shares its name with Scotland’s capital […]
