The next day, we headed back to the airport via taxi and boat and flew back to Tahiti. From the airport we headed to the ferry terminal in Papeete and boarded a ferry to the neighboring island of Mo’orea. The ferry takes...

Our next stop on our French Polynesian getaway was Bora Bora, a destination I have been yearning to go to.

Our second day in Tahiti, we drove along the north side of the island. We stopped at the Fa'aruma'i Waterfalls to take a short stroll and some pictures. Just across the road is the Arahoho Blowhole (a small hole in the r...

We put off our official honeymoon for three years while we have been saving up credit card points to take a bigger trip. As I obviously love tropical destinations, we decided on a French Polynesian getaway. Part of Franc...

For my vacation, I went to Tennessee to visit my family for several days. It was nice to see family, but I was yearning for something warmer. I’d had enough of winter (and, yes, even California winter).

We took a day trip out to Desert Hot Springs to take a dip in the mineral springs in the Colorado Desert east of Los Angeles. While we were there, we made a stop to go hiking at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains.

The second part of our tour took us to the city of Ávila. It is most known for its medieval walls that surround the well-preserved 16th century city.

The second day of our Spanish getaway, we decided to make a trip outside Madrid for some sightseeing. We booked a day tour that took us to the towns of Segovia and Ávila.

We treated ourselves to a pre-Thanksgiving trip, with our sights set on Spain. We headed out the day before Thanksgiving, after dropping our dogs off in Tennessee with their temporary babysitters (my parents).

On a Monday afternoon, we headed out with our dogs to do a quick sunset hike.

We took a family trip earlier this month to a spot where I have vacationed since I was a kid, Destin, Florida. It's a city on the northwestern part of Florida, on the state's panhandle. Although Miami, about 10 hours to ...

The next morning, we got up to head to the surrounding National Parks. Moab is centrally located to both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. We tried to go to Arches first, but found out we needed reser...

After going to Zion, which is hands down one of the most beautiful national parks I have visited, I have been dying to go back and explore some other parts of Utah. Southern Utah in particular is home to some of the mos...

Our flight was not until almost 9 pm, a redeye back to Los Angeles. So, we headed to Lydgate Beach Park. This park is just north of the airport and features rock barriers that create two man-made pools, where you can enj...

On our second day in Kauai, we headed out to do some sightseeing.

A couple of weeks ago, I was yearning for a tropical vacation.

09/06/2023

On a pleasant Sunday, which was actually sunny (given the May Gray and June Gloom we've had recently), we headed to the outskirts of LA to do some hiking.

26/05/2023

This past weekend, we tried another hiking spot near Los Angeles. I of course love the sheer number of hiking opportunities offered by the many, many mountain ranges surrounding Greater LA area.

13/05/2023

The next day, we again slept a bit longer than we intended. We got up and had a lunch by the beach at our hotel, the Avila Beach Hotel. Our hotel had two beautiful private beaches, with rocky breakwaters forming two bea...

When my vacation week finally arrived, we were ready to take a trip as a birthday gift for myself and a belated birthday gift for my husband. My requirements were that it be somewhere warm, but I had it on my list for a...

We wanted to go on a hike after a rather warm day finally arrived. As we headed towards the Santa Monica Mountains, the marine layer was moving in off the coast. The clouds were beginning to shroud the Westside and coa...

While in the mood to get some fresh air and take our dogs on a walk somewhere besides our neighborhood, we headed up the Pacific Coast Highway towards Malibu. Malibu is known mostly for the celebrity homes and expensive ...

Although it may seem counterintuitive to go to the desert to see wildflowers, or really any type of vegetation other than cacti, that is exactly what we decided to do on President's Day Weekend.

19/03/2023

After our stop in Honolulu, we decided to extend our vacation and explore another island. So, we hopped on a quick 20 minute Hawaiian Airlines flight from Honolulu to Kahului Airport on the island of Maui. Flying is no d...

My mom had come to visit us in LA from Tennessee (thankfully during a time when we haven’t been inundated with rain), but she expressed interest in making her first trip to Hawaii. So, one evening we decided to hop on a ...

After our short Transatlantic trip, we split up for our journey back to the states. First, we had a great breakfast at the Admirals Club in Heathrow, which is much nicer than the domestic clubs. After that, my husband ...

20/02/2023

I finally had a whole week of vacation, so I was debating on what trip to take to reward myself. The flights to London had been rather open, so we decided on a Transatlantic trip to the UK.

Since our Christmas plans take is in all different directions, my family decided on an early Christmas trip. I didn’t do any of the planning, but it was decided to meet in Montreal.

For my friend's birthday, I hopped over to Hawaii to join them for a tropical getaway. While from much of the US it takes longer to fly to Hawaii than it does to Europe, it's a bit under a 6 hour flight from the West Coa...
