Making Travel Planning Easier
Puerto Rico is a hidden gem…I’m not sure why it’s not more popular, but I think it’s a fantastic destination for a family with older kids or teens, or a couples getaway! Since it’s part of the U.S., there’s no passport required, no currency exchange, and your cell phone works with no extra fees. It…
This is an odd one for me…traveling TO a wintry place in the winter?! Very much against-brand for me. Strangely enough, sometimes I get the itch for that crisp, fresh air, wearing a hat and mittens, and cozying up by a fire. It gets chilly here in Arizona in winter, but it’s just not the…
San Diego is such a great option for a getaway, because the weather is very pleasant all year-round…typically in the 70’s for temperatures, with plenty of sunshine. Considered the birthplace of California, and home to 70 miles of the most beautiful beaches on the U.S. West Coast, there’s something for everyone here. It’s a great…
Sedona is an absolute bucket list location that should be on everyone’s list! The Southwest has some unbelievably beautiful and unique places to visit that are not that well known outside of the Southwest. Sure everyone knows about the Grand Canyon…it’s one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World and definitely worth seeing, but…
If you’re looking for some last-minute ideas for fall break, here are a few of my favorites that you should consider with your kids or teens. Most were trips that I took in the summer, but would be wonderful in fall too, and with the bonus of fall colors! I’ve included timeframes for peak colors…
Just 90 miles North of Phoenix, Payson is a great option for a day trip in the spring or fall to escape the Phoenix heat, and experience a completely different climate and landscape. At 5,000 ft of elevation, Payson sits below Arizona’s Mogollon Rim, surrounded by the Tonto National Forest, which is covered in beautiful…
The votes from my Instagram poll are in, and fall trip itineraries are in demand! In addition to the outdoor-adventure itineraries (great for fall break!) I’ve posted, including Whistler, Vancouver, Napa, Park City, Banff, Telluride, and Lake Tahoe, I’ll shift to some one or two-day itineraries that are more localized and festive! To start, this…
Here’s another ski resort location, but an itinerary for visiting in the summer or fall…I think this is my last post in this category…for now at least! Lake Tahoe has a wide variety of things to do in the non-winter months, including alpine hiking, mountain biking, crystal clear lakes, mountains, golf, and even gambling on…
Yep, another summer trip to a ski resort town…these are my favorite summer getaways (see past posts on Vancouver, Whistler, Banff, and Park City)! Telluride is a very small box canyon town surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, and was originally established as a gold mining area in the mid-1850’s. This one was just over two…
London is definitely a must-do if you are making a trip overseas. It’s so easy to stop over on your way to Europe, or you could stay in the area and add other areas of England, Scotland, Ireland, and / or Iceland as well…so much to see in a very small area! I’ve done London…
