Only North and South Carolina were part of the itinerary for this trip, but we kept saying that it would have been awesome to visit Savannah as well, we just didn’t have the time… or that is what we thought. After 2 days in Charleston traveling the “Eitan way” (most of you will know what…

North to South Carolina
We started the day early to start the drive from Asheville to Charleston in South Carolina. But before leaving Asheville we stopped at the famous Biscuit Head restaurant for breakfast. A very dangerous thing to eat before the start of a 4.5 hours drive, but Eitan was brave enough to try it. Eitan ordered the…
The Great Smokey Mountains National Park
One of Eitan’s bucket list items is to visit the top National Parks in the U.S; there are 63 National Parks in the US, and while visiting all of them might take some time, we are OK with visiting the most famous ones first. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park usually lands in the top…
The Biltmore Estate
On our last day in Ashville we visited the famous Biltmore Estate, which is the main attraction around the Asheville area. It takes around 30 minutes to drive to get there from the city center. Biltmore Estate is a huuuge area that includes multiple attractions, it really takes 20 minutes to get from the Estate…
Asheville, Beer, Hippies, and Art
We started our day very early the way Eitan likes it, but this time we had a third traveler so it takes a little bit more time to get everything packed up. We ate breakfast in the hotel and started our 2.5 hour drive to the town of Ashville. Asheville is a town that is…
A Stop in Charlotte
After several years of hiatus from writing this blog, we are finally back! Yes, there are a lot of posts to come from places like Iceland, Hawaii, Mexico, and many more!! We had a wedding for our cousin to attend in Toronto, Canada this summer so we decided to visit some of the Southern United…
Our Next Adventure
WhereisNoodle.com is departing on their next adventure in November 2020. But no need to book a flight for this one (good thing, given Coronavirus!) … On March 9th, we not only got to celebrate 5 years of being legally married, but Sarah found out something else that morning. Somehow she managed to go to work and waited until…
The Wildflowers
After looking at one Facebook post about a rare bloom of wildflowers in Lake Elsinore, we had to go see it! We had a very wet winter in Southern California that created this scenery that was so stunning it stopped traffic. We started our day early, but not early enough to avoid the crowds that…
NOLA – The Beginnings
We took a quick Uber to the pier to take the Creole Queen, a 1000 passenger paddlewheeler riverboat operating out of the Port Of New Orleans. She is 190 feet (57 meters) long and 40 feet (12 meters) wide. She has three decks, two of which house three dining and banquet rooms and a third…
NOLA – Voodo and Bourbon
For most people, Labor Day means two things: a day off and a chance to say goodbye to the summer. But why is it called Labor Day? Labor Day is a day set aside to pay tribute to working men and women; it honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made…
Albuquerque
Our last day in New Mexico was a quick one, partly because we did not have a lot of time until we needed to go to the airport, but mostly because there is nothing to do there anyway. Although it is the largest city in the state, Albuquerque is often overshadowed as a tourist destination…
Tent Rocks
When we travel to a city, we try to find a nice outdoors activity for a day. This country offers so much beautiful natural landscapes, mostly unknown, that would be a shame to miss out. We drove a couple hours to the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. A remarkable outdoor laboratory, offering an opportunity to…
I Want That Pottery
I finally had some time to continue with the New Mexico blog posts: Santa Fe. We woke up early to be able to visit the Native American bazzar of handcrafts that they set outside the Palace of the Governors. While Eitan awkardly stood there for 20 minutes, Sarah went to each individual seller to find…
Trippy Santa Fe
We decided to take a quick getaway to New Mexico for presidents day weekend! We got a promo deal while opening the Southwest Credit card where they gave us the companion pass for FREE!! This means that we can go anywhere Southwest airlines fly to, and get another person for free; which means we can…
The Life Outside The Strip: Red Rocks
On our last day (or what we thought was going to be our last day) we stopped on the famous Las Vegas billboard sign. There was a huuuge line to get a picture of it, but if you go to the side and you don’t mind that the sign is not perfectly centered, then you can avoid…
Eitan FOMO: Hoover Dam Edition
We planned for an early morning to beat the crowds at the Hoover Dam, but we made the costly mistake of stopping in a crowded restaurant on our way. Breakfast took 2 hours, so by the time we got close to the Dam, this was the traffic…. After a security check (after 9/11 they increased…
Where The Lights Go To Die
We started our morning with healthy fried chicken for breakfast in one of the restaurants in our hotel. It was delicious! We purchased tickets in advance for the Neon Museum,.Founded in 1996, the Neon Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and…
San Diego To Las Vegas
For the week before NYE we decided to take a short trip to Las Vegas, which is about 5.5 hours away from San Diego. We are not the party animals we used to never be, or even like gambling. This trip objective was to explore what Las Vegas has to offer besides the typical activities…
Sarah & Wine – Willamette Valley Edition
Sarah was really patient with me when I decided to visit almost all the national parks in Oregon, in exchange I insisted on treating her to get to spend the last day in the wine region. We were flying that night, but we had all day to drink wine! We drove towards the Valley and…
Oregon Coast
After visiting Mt. Hood we drove straight to the Oregon coast. Our hotel was in the small town of Seaside that we were going to visit the next morning, We were lucky to be driving through Astoria when the sunset was happening (and Sarah needed to pee), so we stopped for some time to walk…
Mt. Hood & Columbia River Gorge
In our third day in the beautiful state of Oregon, we woke up really to rent a car for the next three days. After some research, Eitan noticed that renting a car 15 minutes away from the city center was $150 cheaper than renting it at the airport. We took an Uber to pick up…
Portland Neighborhoods
We started this beautiful day by walking to Hawthorne Blvd which is the hipster area full of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. This was the first time I took my new DSLR camera out, so bear with me as I am still learning how to use it. The houses around this area look cute like…
Portlandia
For Labor Day weekend, we took a short vacation to Oregon. Sarah has been here when she was little, so she didn’t really remember much. Eitan has never been, and with cheap flight tickets, this was the best destination to go. We flew to Portland early in the morning and the view of Mt Hood…
