Sayulita has become a popular place to visit over the years. What was once a small hippie surfer town, a busy tourist destination has now replaced it. It is only about an hour drive from Puerto Vallarta and many travel agencies offer a trip to Sayulita as an excursion. But despite all the attention, Sayulita [...]
When I saw that there were over water bungalows at Pangkor Laut Resort, I knew right away that we were going to stay there. I've always wanted to stay in an over water bungalow. French Polynesia and the Maldives had always been out of our price range with expensive flights and accommodations. Since we were [...]
There's so many exciting things to do when visiting New Zealand. All over New Zealand helicopter rides are offered to tourists to view the vast landscape and step on areas difficult to reach by foot. We chose to do a heli-hike, a helicopter ride and a hike, with Franz Josef Glacier Guides. There are 3 glaciers on [...]

First thing we did was check in at the Gray Line tour counter for our transfer to Reykjavik with a stopover at The Blue Lagoon.This was the best thing, because it definitely woke us up after the long flight from Boston on WOW Airlines. The Blue Lagoon [...]

From Athens we ventured on to Dubrovnik, Croatia. It's also known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, or to you modern day folks, King's Landing ( from the HBO series Game of Thrones). We arrived to the airport at nighttime, took the bus and got dropped off at Pile Gate in front of the Old [...]
If you are flying to Greece from the US more than likely you'll start your journey in Athens. We made most of our connections from here. After landing in the morning, we dropped off our luggage at the Baggage Storage outside of the arrivals gate. We had 10 hours to explore before our flight to [...]
