Blue Curacao

We took a fun family vacation to Florida, including Disney World, and hopped on a Caribbean cruise with stops in Curaçao, Aruba, Cabo Rojo (Dominican Republic), and Coco Cay (Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas). We had an awesome time, but let’s be honest—the trip wasn’t exactly rich in culture… unless you count Mickey…

Fairbanks – Freeze to Hot Springs

Running on very little sleep after getting back around 3 AM from chasing the Northern Lights, we kickstarted the day with a much-needed boost: the hotel’s hearty breakfast buffet. A solid way to reset! After brushing the snow off the car (a true Fairbanks morning ritual), we made our way to the University of Alaska…

Iceland Origins – Reykyavik

We spent around 1 week road-tripping around Iceland in 2018 with Sarah’s family, and I finally have the time to work on the Iceland trip blog!! I will be dividing the blog post per day, so they will be a little long and will primarily include photos as I don’t want to bore you all…

Morrocan Coast: Essaouira

In Morocco in July, it is possible to escape the heat by heading to the coast, and so we went to Essaouira for one of our more laid-back days to explore an exotic walled town that, relative to our other stops, had fewer must-see sights. This gave Eitan something of a break from his relentless…

The Jews Of Fez

We finally arrived in Fez in the early evening. There are no motorized vehicles in Fez’s enormous old city, aka Medina, so our luggage was taken in a push-cart to our hotel, aka Riad. In Morocco, a Riad is usually a centuries-old large home converted to an intimate hotel. Like all such old homes, it…

The Julian Alps

While we were traveling in Slovenia everyone recommended us to visit Bohinj lake when we were in this area. This lake was supposed to be as beautiful but with no tourists, so this morning we drove to Lake Bohinj. When we got there we jumped into the cable car that was going to get us to…

Postcard Sunset

The first day we visited the more authentic, less touristy part of Santorini. Today we are heading north to Thira (or Fira) and Ia, the second largest city. We began our day stopping at a Greek bakery to buy a diabetic-preferred breakfast. Some Loukoumades and a Kataifi, basically sugar on top of more sugar soaked with sugary syrup. Delicious…

The Blue City

We started our second day in Jodphur by visiting Jaswant Thada, this cenotaph was built by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State in 1899 in memory of his father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, and serves as the burial ground for the rulers of Marwar. This one is called the Taj Mahal of the Marwar, but I disagree…

I Think We Need To Buy More Water

Editors note: My laptop broke about a week ago (it was actually nice to be disconnected for a few days), that is why we haven’t been posting anything, but after adventuring into the deep world of Mumbai’s electronic district I was able to find the necessary parts to fix it! So we are back to…
