One of our 2022 goals was to take a quick weekend trip with the credit card points we’ve racked up and we made it happen this month by sneaking away to New York City for a long weekend to enjoy the Christmas festivities in the Big Apple! It was a wonderful trip, minus a small
While our trip to Lisbon, and subsequent day trip to Sintra, was in April, it only seems fitting to talk about the Quinta da Regaleira now in October as the Quinta looks like the perfect setting for a gothic horror movie.

I love ghost tours! It doesn’t even have to be the month of October to get me excited about hearing about a city’s haunted past! I’ve done many, many ghost tours in Denver (as well as when Rick and I travel) and I’ve actually done a few ghost tours with Nightly Spirits, the LoDo (stands

I know I’ve already posted about Australia being on my bucket list, but it’s my birthday so I’m allowed to do whatever I want and I want to talk about all the cool things I want to do when I finally start checking things off of my Sydney travel bucket list! I’ve had my heart
I’ll start this post off by saying I’m glad we had more than one day in Lisbon but I will also say that if you’re strapped for time you can pack a lot in if you only have 24 hours in Lisbon! From historical attractions to trendy eateries, there’s a lot to do in Lisbon.
