Keukenhof Gardens are an incredible way to see the tulips the Netherlands are famous for. When you think of the Netherlands – or think of Holland – idyllic images of tulips, windmills, and wooden clogs probably come to mind. I recently found myself in the Netherlands during tulip season and couldn’t resist at least going…
An Amazon River cruise can be the cruise of a lifetime – and there are a lot of cruise lines sailing to this incredible rainforest and ecosystem. An opportunity to sail through along the Amazon River, experience Brazil, see pink dolphins in the wild and maybe even hold a sloth. I was lucky enough to…
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to find myself on a 30 day Incan Empires cruise – from San Diego down to Lima, Peru, and back up. One of our ports on the way back to San Diego was Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala. Guatemala is home to some incredible coffee and while there…

In 2019 I had the opportunity to go to Petra, Jordan. To any Indiana Jones enthusiast, it’s also known as the location of the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Petra in itself is not that close to the water. It’s about a 3-hour drive from the Port of Al’Aqaba, Jordan. We…
While there are lots of great things to do if you only have a day in this beautiful town a great way to see some of the incredible nature is on this easy day hike in Waitangi, New Zealand. This is a place that I had been to a couple of times; however, both times…
