Regular Travel Reviews
In November 2022, we took a 12 day Scandinavian vacation, first arriving for 3 nights/2 days in Copenhagen, Denmark, then flying up to spend 3 nights in Oslo, Norway, flying down to spend 2 nights in Stockholm, Sweden, and then taking the train to end back in Copenhagen for 2 nights (to end up with a total...

For Christmas break in December 2022/January 2023, James and I (Valerie) were visiting family down in Florida. My parents and brother live near Orlando, and my brother and I grew up as Harry Potter fans, so I thought it would be nice as a Christmas present (for him as well as myself) to spend a...

We flew into Copenhagen to start our trip, spending 2 nights exploring the city, and then we made our way over to Oslo, Norway for 3 nights and then Stockholm, Sweden for 2 nights. We...

Spending 4 nights and 4 days in Sardinia was a glorious part of our incredible spring vacation to the Mediterranean, after traveling for 30 hours to get to the French Riviera, hanging out in Nice and Monaco. We spent 2 nights near the Nice airport and then went back to the airport to take a... Continue Reading →
4 Days in the French Riviera was an amazing experience. Traveling to the South of France and the French Riviera in springtime always sounded like a marvelous vacation to me! In spring of 2022, James scored last-minute tickets to the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 qualifying race (the actual race was sold out unfortunately) so... Continue Reading →
As part of our 2021 Thanksgiving-time vacation, we spent 7 nights wandering around Italy and then took a short flight over to Helsinki, Finland. I know it seems like an odd combination, and it kind of was weather-wise (Italy in November is pretty mild!), but James always finds great deals on flights if we're open... Continue Reading →
For our typical Thanksgiving week trip (that we have done for many years but unfortunately missed in 2020 for obvious reasons...), we were balancing being able to do *something* due to the 2021 fall/winter covid wave breaking out in Europe, and the fact that Europe in the fall/winter is typically filled with indoor activities. We... Continue Reading →
Our third and final stop on our Hawaiian vacation is Hawaii island, aka the Big Island! Previously we spent 5 nights on Kauai, and then 2 nights on Molokai, before making our way to the Big Island. From Molokai we flew Mokulele Airlines to Maui to pick up a connection on Southwest Airlines over to... Continue Reading →
Molokai is one of those Hawaiian islands that you don't really hear much about. It is not a very heavily traveled island (for many reasons, also by design), but we were curious about it and ready to explore a more secluded part of Hawaii. It was definitely an adventure!

Recently, James and I made a trip out to Hawaii for a nice, long, relaxing 12 day vacation. The next few posts I'm going to make will detail our Hawaii vacation itinerary, including our travels to Kauai, Molokai, and the Big Island of Hawai'i. This first part is all about how we spent 5 nights... Continue Reading →
As much as I didn’t want to leave Yellowstone National Park, or my parents on their fantastic cross-country road trip, it was unfortunately time to go back home to reality since it was Sunday. I had an amazing long weekend exploring Yellowstone National Park, which you can read about in my previous posts. This one... Continue Reading →
Arriving at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel in Yellowstone National Park after flying in late at night and driving down from Bozeman through a rainstorm, I was able to get about 3.5 hours of sleep before waking up the next morning at 6am for a scheduled hike. Ouch! But I survived the trip there so... Continue Reading →
Hotel Review: The Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel is located at…you guessed it, the Mammoth Hot Springs! This area is in the northern part of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, only a few miles after arriving through the north entrance, and is one of the most popular and famous attractions in the park. I’ve got some... Continue Reading →
Val here! Well here's another kind of crazy one for the books for the wifey! Not as bad as the New Mexico trip but it started off a bit shaky...
