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…

Oaxaca – The Prehispanic Side
The next morning we were picked up by our tour bus to embark on a 10-hour tour around the main pre-hispanic archeological sites and other handcraft towns in between. We tried to find half day tours but they didn’t really exist. We weren’t sure how the all day tour would go with Ariela, but actually…
Iceland – Hofn to Eglisstadir
Today’s adventure took us from Hofn to Eglisstadir (I will be adding maps to our blog moving forward to show exactly in the map where are all these stops). We jumped in the car led by our amazing driver Dan, and started our drive to the Vestrahorn, a mountain in south-east Iceland, noted for its…
Montreal – Jour 1
We started the day with a 2.5 hour drive to Montreal. The drive is easy and beautiful, passing many nice green lush areas. We were warned many times about drivers in this side of Canada, but holy moly, they drive bad over here. Aggressive, without patience, some super slow, and others thinking they are on a F1…
Toronto to Ottawa
After spending a couple of nice family days in Toronto for Sarah’s family event, Simon’s Bar Mitzvah, we went on a nice road trip to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec. The following post will just be about the road trip section of our vacation. Ariela loves to fly! So the whole airport experience is probably always…
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…
Salento And The Coffee Farms
And here we go to the next Colombian stop. The town in Salento, located at the famous coffee region of Colombia. Unfortunately, there was a storm happening and the plane deviated 20 minutes before landing. We ended landing in Bogota!!! but after a couple hours waiting at the terminal, we were in the air again…
San Bernardo Islands And The Floating Hostel
We continue the Colombian adventure with a trip to the San Bernardo Islands, located at the Gulf of Morrosquillo in the Caribbean sea. We walked from the Cartagena hotel to the marina area, where a fast boat takes you on a 3-hour ride to these islands. We passed several other amazing paradisiac islands. We finally…
Medellin – The Other Side
The city of Medellín, located in north-central Colombia, has an inspirational story. Only two decades removed from the height of its notoriously violent past with Pablo Escobar and the cartels, it is now considered to be one of the safest big cities in Latin America, with character, nightlife and public art that any urban area…
Guatape – The Most Colourful Town In Colombia
We visited the beautiful country of Colombia (not Columbia, the place in the U.S.) back in October but never got to write about it in the blog! So this is our first post. Eitan went to a bachelor party in Colombia with his friends and Sarah was able to join him after to travel around…
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…
Free Tour: Porto Edition
After a good night at our hotel in Porto, we started our sightseeing day at a nice breakfast place the guidebook recommended. Then on to a free tour of Porto!! This was a major event in the lives of Elly and Dan. They have tended to avoid tours, preferring to walk and explore on their own….
African Hollywood
Back on the road again, with Sarah and Eitan providing scintillating company. We made a stop at the particularly photogenic Kasbah Taourirt. The el Glaoui clan controlled one of the major southern caravan routes to West Africa and were given extensive power by the French during colonial rule in exchange for keeping the southern tribes subdued….
The Cave Castle
The Predjama Castle is situated in the middle of a towering cliff, a mere 9 km from Postojna Cave. Picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious and impregnable, it has been dominating the surrounding area, perched high up in the 123-metre high cliff, for more than 800 years. It is listed among the Guinness World Records as the…
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…
The Last Of The Kohs – Koh Samui
We took a ferry to Koh Samui, we messed up and booked it to the wrong pier and ended up on the other side of the island, not a big deal as it takes only 30 minutes to travel to the other side. Samui is the third and largest island of our Thai island tour….
