Key West Again Today we planned to visit Key West again (read about Key West Day 1), but since our hotel was about an hour east of Key West in the city of Marathon, we started the morning off with a visit to the Bahia Honda State Park. The entrance fee was just $8 and […]
We want to wish you a Happy New Year 2016!! It has been a big year for us here at PandaTrot with the official launch of the website. We want to thank everyone for their support, especially Allison for writing some awesome blog posts on Alaska, Kevin for sharing his fun Peru video, and you for reading […]
Florida is known for a lot of things… beaches, sun, sand, never ending summers, etc. I think one attraction stands above the rest though, Disney World! Nisheet and I have both been to Epcot on our own a long, long time ago, and just a few years ago we visited Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Planet Hollywood […]
Christmastime in Chicago is a Magical Time I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Florida at Christmastime is great. It is sunny, it is warm, Santa wears shorts, there are lighted boat parades… But, it had me missing the nippy yet cozy days in Chicago with mulled wine and roasted nuts. So, for a […]
Savannah Nisheet has traveled to Savannah, GA numerous times for business, and every time he has come home raving about the food, culture, charm, and history captured in this tiny southern city.

That means for the past several years, everyone has had to travel to Chicago. It is cold, usually snowy, and really sets the tone for the upcoming holiday season. We had our traditions […]
My mom and I went on a 5 day cruise to the Cayman Islands and Mexico for my birthday. We used to go on cruises every year in March/April, but we haven’t had the chance in the past couple years. And, now, since I live in Tampa Bay, it was the perfect opportunity to start […]
New Orleans: There are so many incredible cities in the US that give you a taste of the old and the new. There’s Savannah with its historic southern charm, there’s New York City with all its sparkling shiny buildings, and then there’s San Francisco with all the cutting-edge food and wine options. But, I believe that there’s […]
Vacations always fly by faster than you think they should. It was a whirlwind of a trip through 4 countries in 3 weeks, but even in hindsight, I don’t think I would have changed my itinerary (which I will be posting in case you ever get the itch to go to any of these cities). It […]
Brussels For our last day in Belgium (read our other Belgium blogs: Ghent and Bruges), we decided to check out Brussels. We had been told ahead of time that Brussels was only worth one day on our itinerary, if that. Since we were flying out of Brussels the following morning and since it is such […]
