When we were in Madrid we opted for a few day trips to explore some nearby cities. We’d already visited Toledo and next up was a day trip to Segovia. We got to see the major sights in Segovia and snack on some local delicacies during our time there. We had a private tour guide
Back in November we finally got to return to Spain and this time we were lucky enough to visit some new places: Madrid, Toledo, and Segovia. And we got to return to the city that made us fall in love with Spain: Barcelona. But this blog isn’t about Barcelona! We were so excited to check
London is a city Rick and I love going to time and time again – and there’s always still something left on our bucket list when we leave. Last year, we visited London on our England, Scotland, and Ireland trip with Go Ahead and basically had two nights and one full day in the city.

We went to Scotland on our trip to England, Scotland, and Ireland with EF Go Ahead Tours and our Scotland portion was concentrated on Edinburgh. Since this was

I’ll be honest right now, 24 hours was not enough time for us to explore Santorini as much as we wanted to! But, we were also visiting the island on a cruise so we didn’t have much say in how much time we had there! Rick and I are already talking about a return trip
We’ve posted on the blog before about how to spend a day in Venice, but this time we’re recapping what we actually did with a day in Venice when we were there at the end of June! From a gondola ride to a food and wine tour, we tried to have the right blend of
