Come to Norway and See the Fjords to Be Truly Amazed
Here is a funny story. When we were booking our cruise to Iceland to Norway, we did not realize truly what a Fjord was, or that our first stop in Norway would be through one! If we had known before we did our research after we booked our cruise, we would have been super excited ...

Travel to Iceland & the Arctic Circle. Does the sun ever set?
The main reason we decided on this cruise itinerary for our 10th Anniversary was that we were going to a place that frankly none of our friends had ever been to before. A year ago, if someone would have asked me to create a list of the Top 20 places in the world to visit, ...

Travel to Germany to See the Land of Fairytale Castles
Everyone has surely watched either a Disney movie or any of the other types of movies that would be set in a castle.

Roman Holiday – How We Spent 4 Days in Rome and Vatican City
Living in central Europe for the next three years, we plan to take full advantage of our location to visit as many places as we can.
