“My God… That’s spectacular.” On our final tour at Mammoth Cave National Park, the man directly in front of us said this exact line every single time we turned a corner. No, I’m not exaggerating. While I didn’t share his same enthusiasm, I will say that Mammoth Cave is pretty cool. Some of these rock …
Seville, also called Sevilla, is one of many people’s favorite cities in Spain. It’s the home of flamenco dancing, is light on historical sites (although there’s still plenty to keep you busy on a short visit), and is a great place to just slow down and take a break from a fast paced itinerary. I …
If you’re road tripping through New England, you’ll likely have added Stowe, Vermont and the Berkshires in Massachusetts to your itinerary. Both of these are top sights and should not be missed. You could drive directly between the two destinations and it would take about 3 1/2 hours. Or, if you’re willing to add just …
Fall is a fantastic time to visit New England and Stowe, Vermont is no exception. This tiny town of less than 300 people shows up on so many New England road trips because it’s filled with great things to do. Sample some delicious treats, shop in local stores, walk along scenic paths, and even more. …
Several years ago, my dad was sent on a job to Kansas where he found out about a The Wizard of Oz museum. Ever since then, it’s been on my mom’s bucket list since The Wizard of Oz is her favorite movie of all time. As a birthday present, she and I visited Wamego, Kansas …
If you’re road tripping through the southwest United States, you may find your visit starting in Las Vegas. While you could immediately head to the Grand Canyon, you can squeeze in some sightseeing first. Look at taking a less direct route and instead going from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam to the Grand Canyon. …
During my impromptu trip to Zurich, Switzerland, I decided to spend one of my days making a day trip to Vaduz, Liechtenstein. This tiny country is nestled in the heart of the Alps, right between Switzerland and Austria. It’s a pretty easy day trip to do, but Liechtenstein doesn’t rank very high on the excitement …
When I road tripped down the United States’ east coast, I couldn’t help but add Congaree National Park to my itinerary. It just fit in so seamlessly. But as I started researching, I noticed something. There’s fewer things to do at Congaree National Park than at other national parks across the United States. That’s not …
Two cities that come up on many Costa Rica itineraries are La Fortuna and Monteverde. While both cities offer similar activities, they have a different feel and many people (myself included) choose to split their time and visit both La Fortuna and Monteverde. Just deciding to visit La Fortuna and Monteverde isn’t enough because there …
Petrified Forest National Park sits in eastern Arizona, just off of Interstate 40. When I visited, I spoke with a ranger who said that it seemed like most visitors were always on their way somewhere else and just popped in for a quick visit before continuing on to wherever they were going. While it can …
