Ever since Jill wrote a guest blog post about the Georgia Aquarium, which happens to be the world's largest, I have had a hankering to go to a really good aquarium. Well, every time I mentioned to people that I was visiting the Monterey/Carmel area for a few days, they would always say "Don't miss [...]
If you’re a golf enthusiast or you are traveling with one (as I am), then you have to do the 17 Mile Drive when you’re in the Monterey/Carmel area. The 17 Mile Drive is a scenic loop that takes you through four golf courses, including the world-famous Pebble Beach. You have to pay an admission [...]
Yesterday, I wrote a post about how excited I was to see all of those seals in Santa Cruz. Little did I know that I would be seeing way more seals today on Carmel's famous 17 Mile Drive. Golf enthusiasts love this drive because you get to see three exquisite golf courses, including the world [...]
Seals in Santa Cruz From my previous blog posts, you may have inferred that I love monkeys. But did you know that I also love seals? The seal obsession started the last time I was in California, which was two years ago. I was asking the hotel concierge what sights to see on the drive [...]

Let's face it. Booking a rental car is the least exciting part of planning a vacation. And it can really increase the cost of the trip, as you've got the daily rate of the car plus hefty taxes and insurance fees. When we were planning our trip to Key West in February, we had already [...]
Today I’m over at the Away.com Travel Blog guest-blogging about Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. I described what the town is like and weighed in on the debate of whether or not to hire a guide to see the park. And of course, I raved about the white-faced capuchin monkeys you’ll find at the beach in [...]
Before I started blogging, I had never heard of a blog carnival. Unlike a regular carnival, there are no rides, cotton candy or funnel cake. But similar to carnival, it’s a lot of fun and you never know exactly what to expect. For the very first Anywhere, Everywhere Travel Carnival, I received lots of submissions. [...]
I am terrible at sleeping on overnight flights. I am normally an excellent sleeper, but the combination of excitement to get to my destination plus the pressure to fall asleep plus the uncomfortable coach seat almost always results in a frustratingly sleepless night. So last year, when I was planning my trip to Greece I [...]
