There are so many fusion joints popping up, a testament to our globalized melting pot culture. These restaurants are great for those nights when you just don’t know what you want to eat – because you can have a variety of things! Crazy Bowlz [301 Frank Sottile Blvd, Kingston, NY […]

My Mom and I were looking to book a last minute February trip with two important components, warm weather and beach. We thought about Belize, but the flights weren’t cooperating with our dates. We thought about Panama, but we didn’t want to split our time between city and paradise. Finally […]
Every so often you find one of those towns you fall for. The idyllic, romantic, old school village of Shelburne Falls stole my heart, and even though it’s quite a drive I can’t help but find reasons to return again and again. The road to town is beautiful and there […]
There are certain sights you need to see on the island of Kauai. Vistas simply showcasing the amazing land in front of you. Watch for a moment or sit for an hour. Take a picture to remember for a lifetime. Kauai is astoundingly beautiful. Hanalei Pier at Sunset – End […]
Commonly referred to as the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific,’ a visit to Waimea Canyon was number one on my list of things to do when visiting the island of Kauai. The canyon is approximately ten miles long and 3,000 feet deep, a bit smaller than it’s mainland cousin, but […]
I have been to Schoharie County plenty of times, but somehow always missed visiting the town of Middleburgh! Thank goodness that was remedied recently, because it’s an awfully adorable little town. When you turn off Route 30 and head onto Main St, you’ll ooh and ahh if you’re anything like […]
Many people choose to split their time on Big Island between the Hilo and Kona sides. Our itinerary was already crazy because we would be visiting three different islands so we wanted to keep everything as simple as possible, just one hotel for us, thank you. Although we were on […]
They say opposites attract. I like to go go go, while Jeff wouldn’t mind staying at home sometimes. A lot of times I’ll run us ragged, and he has to step in and tell us to slow down. Well, when you’re with someone for a long time they say you […]
When the days get shorter, my battle to avoid cabin fever begins. The fight starts in fall for me. I found myself just gazing at google maps, one of my favorite tools. I zoomed in and out of my location looking for green blobs close enough to home to visit […]
This is the kind of park you would expect in a fairytale. Rolling hills of green, green grass…sunset over the Hudson River… Intricately crafted wooden gazebos and bridges, winding wooded trails through the forest. If you’re looking for a picture perfect park experience, visit Poet’s Walk Park [776 River Rd […]
The mountains are purple and rocks are rainbow swirled. No you are not in a Dr. Seuss book, you are visiting the one of a kind landscape at Petrified Forest National Park. The main draw of this park is the colorful petrified wood, however there is a lot more magic […]
The town of Moab, Utah is beyond blessed to be surrounded by some of the most splendidly obscure sights on the planet. The area boasts two national parks, the well-known Arches and the more hushed Canyonlands. This perhaps is one of the charms of Canyonlands in my opinion, on our […]
Utah has five national parks, a lot to see for just one state. Many travelers decide to make a loop out of them and may not think to visit the state parks, which would be quite a mistake in the case of Antelope Island State Park [4528 West 1700 South […]
During my stay in Las Vegas, I barely stayed in Las Vegas! There is so much to do other than the strip, and a great side adventure is just under an hour east. Heading towards the Hoover Dam we stopped at the Lake Mead Viewpoint [if you have the Hoover […]
A trip to Joshua Tree National Park is a total mind warp, the strange desert landscape could convince you you’re on another planet! Bizarre piles of rocks and peculiar trees as far as the eye can see set the scene. Remember that this park is in a true desert, an […]
