Paros – A Perfect Paradise in the Cyclades
While island hopping around the Cyclades in Greece with my friend Kelli, the second stop was Paros. In building the itinerary, Mykonos and Santorini felt obligatory, but Paros was a well-researched decision. With its bougainvillea-draped walkways, beautiful views and easy pace, it was my favorite stop of all! Leaving Mykonos As promised in the last post, I’ll start with the…

Mykonos – Overhyped Destination or Not to be Missed?
After a surprisingly wonderful couple of days in Athens, it was time for Kelli and I to set sail (or ferry) for Mykonos. Mykonos would be the first of 3 Cyclades island destinations. When we created our itinerary, we were skeptical about dedicating time to Mykonos because it gets such mixed reviews. Many travel bloggers say to skip it, it’s…

Athens – More Than a Stepping Stone to the Greek Islands
Athens is the entry point to Greece for most travelers, but after this trip, I will tell you…it should be more than a stepping off point. Athens was a wonderful city. So much history, architecture, art and food!! You remember my travel buddy, Kelli, from our Epic Utah Road trip? Well, we are back with a much grander trip. This…

Papeete – Gateway to French Polynesia
Sister Solo Experience There are times where we do travel without a sister. My husband, Pat, likes to do things just us (which I don’t get, lol), and Peggy has friends who want to travel places with her. It’s weird, but it happens. And we often times wish the other sister was there to share the view or the experience.…

Christmas on the Rhine – Cruising into the Holiday Spirit
This wasn’t the cruise we had originally planned but I am sure glad it is the cruise we took. I don’t think there is a better way to experience the Christmas markets than with a Viking River Cruise. Booking our Christmas on the Rhine Viking River Cruise Our mom and I had originally booked the “In Search of Northern Lights”…

Day Drinking Kansas City – Cocktails in the Heart of America
A quick Sister Trip to check some boxes Peggy is in the home stretch of getting to all 50 states, and this trip to Kansas City covered two of her remaining eight: Kansas and Missouri. We had a tough time in our Google search for interesting things to do, and experiences to be had, we also had a limited amount…

Las Vegas Off Strip – Because Sometimes you Need To Go
We really wanted more than casino bars and your typical Vegas fare when we decided to do a little remote working. So we had to dig in for this trip and find what you need to know before you go for the fantastic, slightly “extra” experience when doing Las Vegas right. A little Disclosure Peggy and I lived in Vegas…

Unique Maui Activities That You May Not Know About
Sisbehaving Adventure Time As previously mentioned, my husband and I left Maui and spent a couple of days on Oahu. We flew back to Maui early in the morning and grabbed Peggy to head out for our sisbehaving adventure time. My husband has grown accustomed to this and is fairly well versed in staying out of harm’s way. We knew…
