I recently spent some time in Portugal, mainly for a the Travel Bloggers Unite conference and the 2012 Destinology Travel Bloggy Awards (we won Best Newcomer). After the conference, I was also invited on a short trip in the north of Portugal by Turismo de Portugal. Over the next couple of days, I’ll tell you […]
Paris Motor Show
I’m not going to lie, I’m a car guy. There are a couple of websites I visit daily just to see what’s new in the car world. As I was trying to figure out what to do during my weekend break while in Germany, I saw a post on the Paris Motor Show. A quick […]
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
The annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta started today and made me a bit nostalgic, so I thought I’d share our story and a few tips for visiting the world’s largest hot air balloon festival. We’ve had a long love affair with hot air balloons. Literally. When we lived in Las Vegas, hot air balloons launched […]
American WWII Military Cemetery and Memorial in Luxembourg
If you happen to be traveling around Luxembourg, I highly recommend a stop to the American Military WWII Cemetery and Memorial just outside the city of Luxembourg. The cemetery is the final resting place for 5,076 American Military members, most of whom lost their lives in the Battle of the Bulge. It is a humbling experience […]
Plitvice Lakes Let Me Down
Have you ever seen a picture that made you want to plan a trip to see the scene in all its glory? It’s an affliction that Tim and I suffer from often. The phrase “Wow, that looks gorgeous! Let’s go!” is a regular part of our vocabulary. And photos of Plitvice Lakes had us wanting […]
Seven Must See Sights in Sarajevo
Sarajevo’s people moved us with their stories of what it was like to grow up in a city under siege. Pavement and buildings permanently scarred from mortar blasts and sniper fire stopped us in our tracks to reflect on the horrors that must have occurred in the very spot we were standing. Yes, modern warfare […]
Sarajevo’s War Tunnel
When Jen and I planned our trip to Sarajevo, we didn’t know much of the city’s history. I did a quick Google search of things to do in Sarajevo and the war tunnel came up. After more reading, we came to find out how the city was under siege for four years from ’92 – […]
Sarajevo: City Under Siege
Imagine living in a city that became a prison; a city with no escape where you fear for your life every second of every day. Imagine that hundreds of shells from machine gun fire raining down as rockets lit up the sky was part of normal daily life. That snipers were just waiting for you […]
Sarajevo’s Coppersmith Street
The heart of Sarajevo is the Baščaršija and one of the oldest streets of the Baščaršija is Kazandžilu, or the Coppersmith Street. Baščaršija comes from the Turkish language and means primary market. Walking in the Baščaršija transported us back in time to the 16th century when the copper craft guild of Ottoman Sarajevo made metalwork, […]
Bay of Kotor Blanketed in Haze
The Bay of Kotor is said to be Montenegro’s most beautiful bay and despite the temperatures reaching near 100 F during our visit, we were prepared to brave the scorching heat and climb the 1350 steps up to Kotor’s formidable fortress. But when we arrived in the bay, we could hardly see the fortress due […]
