We were so excited to check Japan off our travel bucket list in 2024 and we were fortunate enough to go there with some friends! We also decided to go to Japan with a tour group, Go Ahead. While we are big fans of guided trips, there are some things we don’t get control over,

Review: EF Go Ahead Tours’ Cherry Blossoms in Japan tour
We’re no strangers to group travel, having done a tour of Barcelona, Southern France, and the Italian Riviera and England, Scotland, and Ireland with Go Ahead Tours. We’ve had great experiences on all of our group tours and just got home from our most recent group tour experience – this time to Japan! Funnily enough,
Review: Guinness Storehouse experience
One thing Rick and I knew we wanted to do as soon as our Dublin trip was finally happening was drink as much Guinness as possible and preferably have one of those pints at the Guinness Storehouse! Luckily for us, our tour guide organized a trip there and bought us tickets for a visit. I
Nassau Rum Tasting Walking Tour review
Rick and I were so happy to find ourselves back in the Caribbean to escape the freaking polar vortex that took over Colorado in mid-January! We made a little trip down to Miami and then onboard The Freedom of the Seas to head to the Bahamas for the weekend. We’ve been to the Bahamas a
Review: Hotel Du College De France
Rick and I recently went on a whirlwind trip through Europe, starting in Paris and ending in Dublin. Paris wasn’t part of the original itinerary but as soon as it became clear we could add it on and start our trip a few days early, we started looking at hotels in Paris to plan our
Review: Ghost Tours of Quebec
I’m lucky my family is as weird as I am! Rick has come to love me booking ghost tours when we travel but I don’t have to convince my family to book them – they do it themselves! Since it’s spooky season, I thought it would be fun to revisit a ghost tour we did
Review: Edinburgh Doomed, Dead, and Buried tour
We’ve had Edinburgh on our travel bucket list for years now! We were supposed to go back in June 2020, but obviously that trip was canceled. So, when we knew we were going for sure this past September, I knew it was time to book a ghost tour as Edinburgh is said to be super
Review: EF Go Ahead Tours’ Highlights of England, Scotland, and Ireland
We’ve traveled a few times on guided group tours, I’ve gone with some girlfriends on EF Ultimate Break tours and Rick and I did a guided tour with Go Ahead back in 2018 on our Barcelona, Southern France, and the Italian Riviera tour. We enjoyed that tour way back when and when we got home
Review: Paris Dark City Secrets Walking Tour
It’s officially spooky season! So it’s time to talk about all things haunted and scary – and one of my favorite things to do this time of year is ghost tours! Okay, I’ll admit anytime of year is the right time of year for a ghost tour. It doesn’t take much to convince me to
Review: Hotel Moresco
I’ve been dying to get back to Venice, Italy and walk around one of my favorite cities with Rick so it was lucky for us that the opportunity to return to Venice happened much sooner than I anticipated. We had found a European cruise that fit the dates we already had off from work to
