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.
Last year around this time we were on our whirlwind two week trip across France, England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland! We did France on our own before joining our tour group for England, Scotland, and Ireland on a guided trip with Go Ahead Tours. And on our way to Ireland, we had a stopover in
On our spring trip to Japan, we stayed in Tokyo, the Mt. Fuji region, and Kyoto, and while in Kyoto we had a day trip to Nara! We didn’t exactly spend a full 24 hours there, but we did have a great day exploring the city before returning to Kyoto that night. We were excited

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
We were pretty excited to go to Athens on our recent cruise in Europe! Though we only had a day in the city, which really ended up being only a half day with the transportation back to the cruise, I’m still happy we saw at least one of the major sites on our sightseeing tour
