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…

The Space Needle
The next morning, after waiting for the ducks to cross the street, we had a fantastic breakfast in a small coffee shop on the way to the Space Needle. When we were researching things to do in Seattle, many people recommended to skip the Space Needle and go to another observation deck instead. We decided…
Montreal – Old Town
After a quick breakfast in the Airbnb we took the metro northbound to the Little Italy area to visit the Marche Jean Talon. It is one of the oldest public markets in Montréal. Inaugurated in May 1933, it was first called the Marché du Nord, but in 1983, its name was changed in honor of…
Ottawa – The Capital
After a quick breakfast in our Airbnb, we started the day by wasting time trying to find parking around parliament hill. For a city this small, the traffic is abysmal and the drivers lack driving skills and are aggressive. We spent about 40 mins driving about 5 miles and after finding parking lots already full…
The Incan Sacred Valley: Part 2
Our second day in the Sacred Valley started with a visit to Pisac, which is perhaps best known for its Incan ruins, known as Inca Písac, which is atop a hill at the entrance to the valley. After we parked, Thomas could not control his souvenir shopping urge once again… The Inca constructed agricultural terraces…
The Mayans – Palenque Chapter
On the last day of our Chiapas adventure, we visited the Mayan ruins of Palenque. Our hotel was a short car ride to the entrance of the ruins. Our driver, Abel, dropped us off and waited on the parking lot until we were done. A prime example of a Mayan sanctuary of the classical period,…
Happy Constitution Day, Bergen!!!
Our flight to Bergen arrived really late, but we were still able to see the mighty Norwegian Fjords from the air. We were so lucky to choose the hostel right above the loudest hostel in the city so since we couldn’t sleep we walked around to see the excitement but didn’t last long because we…
Stockholm Part 2: The Vasa and Beyond
And we are off with the second day in Stockholm waking up early to take one of the ferries to the museum island (Durjgarden). We decided to only take a One-Way ticket and walk back. The ride takes about 15 minutes of pure pleasure while we navigated the channels on this beautiful day. Our first…
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…
