Due to its proximity to Christchurch, this is the perfect place for a weekend getaway (or longer). It includes general information, recommendations on where to stay, the best places to eat, what to do and beautiful spots around the Peninsula. I experienced it a as very relaxing and peaceful place, perfect to calm down but without getting bored, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Auckland's West Coast is often overlooked by travellers as you need a car to reach it and explore everything. When I visited, it exceeded my expectations and I fell in love with this rugged and wild coastline. The West Coast is part of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park and is home to stunning black sand beaches, lush rainforest with waterfalls, one of NZ's most popular surf beaches and a gannet colony. It is not far from Auckland but you will feel like entering a completely different world. This remote and untamed region is more than worth a visit and will for sure casts its spell over you. A magical place that you should not miss out on and that can also be explored on a day trip if you have a tight schedule.

They are easily a third of the cost of a larger resort. And there are quite a few budget friendly accommodation options. Check out some of our favorites!

The Maritimes is a region of Eastern Canada that's often forgotten, but it's a huge mistake!

2-Week Thailand & Vietnam Itinerary

I've cruise to Alaska twice: My very first cruise was aboard Star Princess back in the year 2003, sailing from Seattle to Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan in Alaska with scenic cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord. This year, I had the opportunity to enjoy a similar itinerary with my sister aboard the Discovery Princess. We had a wonderful time and we also did some fun do-it-yourself (DIY) shore excursions! Here are some helpful tips and information so you can make the most of your upcoming Alaska cruise adventure! * Save this guide for a future trip*✨

When you think picturesque fall leaves, Door County is what you should imagine! This county is located in the north eastern corner of the state. The best time of the year to visit is September and October. Small villages and quaint main streets wrapped around by nature's beauty, make this county a weekend getaway destination. It's about a five hour drive from the Twin Cities or a four hour drive from Chicago. Having a car or biking is a must!

Escape to the wonders of Northern Vietnam, where misty mountains, terraced rice fields, and vibrant cultures await discovery. In this journey, we’ll venture beyond the tourist paths, uncovering hidden villages, serene landscapes, and local traditions that offer a glimpse into the heart of this region.

We love cruises, but the shore excursions through the cruise line can be so expensive and often make you feel like cattle being herded into trailers. We prefer a slightly more personalized option, and many of the same trips can be organized on your own. If you have a smaller party finding your cruise roll call by searching for Facebook groups with your sailing dates is a great way to organize a small tour to bring costs per person down. We love cruising for family vacations. It’s a great way for the whole family to have fun and feel relaxed (hey Kids Club!). It’s also great for larger groups or multi-generational trips. Everyone can do their own thing and connect where they want. We like to do dinner together and port excursions mostly together, and then once back onboard we kind of do our own things. If you have a grandparent or co-traveler going with you connected staterooms is a great way to go. This gives you a little more space and the ability to coordinate and hang out within the same space, especially after kids go to bed. Individual doors can still be closed as needed, but you’ll need your key to reopen or go through a balcony.
