Sister Trip – Tampa to Key West – Day 1
For years we discussed Key West. It was the Mecca. After Running Scared (movie, Billy Crystal, Google it) in our teenage years, and Jimmy Buffett in our 20’s and beyond, we always talked about the “someday” of Key West. A few years ago we committed to it for Peggy’s 50th birthday, a full-on bucket list style sister trip. And it…

One Quick Day in Langkawi
Also known as the biggest mistake in our Malaysia trip I am not saying “mistake” because it was terrible and we shouldn’t have gone. I am saying we made a tremendous mistake in not staying in Langkawi forever. We should have planned more time. We should have just stayed forever. Arriving in Langkawi Langkawi is the main island of an…

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…
