We managed to plug in 5 days in Portugal as part of our honeymoon (which also included stops in London and South Spain). Five days in Portugal is a little tight. If only we had all the time in the world! And while this itinerary covers a lot of ground,…
We’ve reached the end of our 5 day trip in Mexico City. And this year we came prepared for New Year’s Day — a day that nearly everything is shut down. And if you’re going for New Year’s Eve, I recommend you read my top 10 ideas for celebrating New…
Looking for ideas to celebrate New Years Eve in Mexico City? Last year, Kevin and I had a blast ringing in 2017 at El Balcon Restaurant (check out our recap here). In fact, we loved Mexico City so much, we’re heading back again and we rarely (pretty much never!) visit a…

Ready, set, go — just have 5 days in Mexico City? Below is a fantastic 5 day Mexico City itinerary to cover a lot of ground. Mexico City is the ultimate comeback story. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, things got a little rough (to say the least!). But fast forward…
Christmas is just around the corner – so I thought I’d write a post for that ever pressing question I get each year from my family. So what on earth do you want this year? Shopping for frequent travelers and foodies can be tough. So we take the guesswork out of…
