From the moment you step onto the grounds, you're transported to Louisiana.

Is there a perfect age for Walt Disney World?
There's a reason Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL is nicknamed The Most Magical Place On Earth. In my opinion, it is a place where dreams come true regardless of your age. But is there actually a perfect age to visit Walt Disney World? Or rather, are there different gameplans for each stage of life?… Continue reading Is there a perfect age for Walt Disney World?

From the moment you approach, The Pitons set the stage for adventure and inspiration.

{My Favorite Things} Green World Coffee Farms Macadamia Nut
Ever since our December 2021 visit to O'ahu where we visited Green World Coffee Farms, I've been hooked on their Macadamia Nut blend. As enjoyable as touring the facility was, the highlight was unlimited samples. If heaven were a place on earth, this would be it. I've enjoyed a mail subscription ever since, and the… Continue reading {My Favorite Things} Green World Coffee Farms Macadamia Nut
Venice
Venice was a wonderful way to cap off our epic summer vacation. But we almost did not make it there. Here's why. A few years ago, the Italian government banned mid-size and mega cruise ships from central Venice. And for good reason. Ancient cities like this are not equipped to manage the thousands of day… Continue reading Venice

We were very fortunate that our Mediterranean cruise included a few stops on the Adriatic Coast. Along with Kotor and Dubrovnik, we had a port of call in Koper, Slovenia. The city is a coastal gem. The medieval old town is well-preserved with its narrow cobblestone streets, and colorful facades. The Praetorian Palace with its… Continue reading Å kocjan Caves

On our day in Dubrovnik, the FamTrav husband and I booked a private guided city tour with an emphasis on the MAX blockbuster Game of Thrones… Continue reading Dubrovnik
Kotor
It was another beautiful day spent on the water in Kotor, Montenegro. Encircled by dramatic mountains, and nestled along the Bay of Kotor, the city is a cherished UNESCO World Heritage site. Our first views were those of the harbor. As pretty as a postcard! We also saw the city walls surrounding Old Town on… Continue reading Kotor
Corfu
Corfu marked the halfway point of our vacation. Based on the activities thus far, I had the forethought to anticipate the need for a bit of a break. And my timing was impeccable! We were four sleepyheads who lacked total motivation to get out of bed. And the morning rainstorms did nothing but lull us… Continue reading Corfu
