Dubai and penguins generally don’t go together in the same sentence, but Ski Dubai in the Mall of the Emirates is home to 10 Gentoo and 10 King penguins. The penguin colony arrived from Sea World San Diego on December 31, 2011 and were part of the penguin breeding program Sea World has had for […]
Splish-Splashing at Aquaventure at Atlantis The Palm
We’ve wanted to visit Dubai since 2000 when we watched a show on the building of Palm Island. So when we were invited to spend the day at Atlantis Aquaventure at Atlantis Dubai, we were super excited! Our flight landed at 7am and we could think of no better way to spend our first day […]
Porsche: Five Things You Didn’t Know
I generally know nothing about cars, but I do get excited over a sleek Porsche 911. I’ve even tried to convince Tim that traveling around the world in a Porsche 911 would make a great story. There is just enough room for Emma to fit in the back and I pack light. He’s not buying […]
The Traveler’s Guide to Short Breaks
Not everyone can travel full time. It may seem like it and some months it certainly feels like it, but we don’t travel full time. We both hold full time jobs; Tim has 30 vacation days per year plus government holidays and I have 5 weeks plus 11 company holidays. We’d love to be able […]
Heidelberg Castle and the World’s Largest Wine Barrel
We managed to pack a lot into our whirlwind trip around the Stuttgart area. We spent a spooky night at Burg Frankenstein, slept in a car themed hotel, ogled fast cars at the Porsche museum, and ate all things pumpkin at the world’s largest pumpkin festival. We had just one afternoon to visit Heidelberg Castle. […]
Cochem and the Moselle River Valley
If you’re looking to go for a weekend drive then Cochem is the place to visit. Located along the Moselle River in Germany there is not a more picturesque town in the fall. The drive along the Moselle River is filled with quaint little towns and vineyards lining the hills. I’ve visited a lot of […]
The World’s Largest Pumpkin Festival
As a child I’d wait all year for Furhman’s Cider Mill to open up for the fall in my hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania. Not only could you bring your milk jugs and have them filled with the world’s best fresh apple cider, they had a huge selection of pumpkins and gords from the local nearby […]
Ghouls and Goblins at Burg Frankenstein
Tim and I first met when we were both living in Las Vegas in the early 2000s. I’m not sure I had even ever been to a Halloween haunted house before moving there for college, but each Halloween it became Tim and my tradition to visit as many of the haunted houses that temporarily popped […]
Lorraine American WWII Cemetery and Memorial
I spent some time in southwestern Germany over the last two months. The autumn weather was great with the cool crisp air and the leaves changing color, making it a great time to visit. One day was exceptionally beautiful so I took a drive south into France to visit the Lorraine American WWII Cemetery and […]
Rev Your Engine at the V8 Hotel Motorworld Stuttgart
“We can stay here,” the email from Tim read. He has always been a car guy, constantly browsing cars for sale on online classifieds and even driving to Paris one weekend just to attend the Paris Auto Show. So it was no shock when I clicked on the link to be met with pictures of […]
