The land of fire and ice? Or the land of fish and chips? Why not both? Learn how you can join me on the Norwegian Prima next year and visit Iceland, London, and so much more!

While cruising is most definitely not for everyone, consider the following: over the last 2 weeks, in one vacation, we have:

-toured the highlights of Rome and it’s countryside
-walked the iconic cliff top village of Fira in Santorini
-explored the ruins of Delos and and world famous beaches of Mykonos
-ridden carefree through the countryside of Crete
-walked the historic city walls of Malta and dove WWII shipwrecks
-kayaked the pristine waters of Sicily and walked the storied streets of Taormina
-explored the ancient ruins of Olympia and Pompeii
-climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa and toured its historic plaza
-soaked up the sun and sights on the French Riviera

Talk about a bucket list busting vacation.

The stairs of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It turns out marble is a very soft stone; and an absolutely terrible choice to build a staircase that people are going to travel from across the world to climb for a thousand years.

Also, with no exterior frame of reference, this is an incredibly disorienting climb!

The House of Menander, known to be the home of Quintus Poppaeus, likely the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea Sabina, is one of the prime examples of how incredibly preserved the ruins of Pompeii are, including in one room the bodies of what are believed to be 12 thieves who attempted to loot the site after the disaster of 79AD. With multiple regions to explore and itineraries of varying lengths and depth, you can spend anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days walking the literal streets of this ancient city.

The altar and temple of Hera, where the original Olympic flame would be lit. Also believe to be where the Disk of Truce was housed, important because the region would literally stop warring for 6 months before and after the games. The first recorded games occurred in 776 BC, consisting of 12 events. They are believed to have been celebrated even earlier, but no records have survived. An absolutely incredible and easy day trip from port of Kataklon! The site has several active excavation and restoration projects and new information is still being uncovered today!

Dating from at least the 9th century BCE, the quaint and beautiful mountaintop village of Orvieto sits just over an hour train ride outside of Rome and is a must see on any Italy trip! In a single tour, you can explore its prominence as a manufacturing center in the Etruscan empire when it was a major producer of olive oil, its place as a religious center in the Middle Ages, and even its place as a “safe” city in WWII. That’s roughly 3,000 years of history you can explore in an hour!

Finished in 1762, the famed Trevi Fountain is the termination of one of the 14 aqueducts that has served Rome over the centuries and was once a main source of water for residents of the city. While you can no longer drink or collect water from Trevi, did you know…every other fountain throughout the city (and there are a BUNCH!) are all still drinkable water sources?

(And no…I have never claimed to be a stellar photographer!)

What can’t YOU leave home without?

06/06/2023

Anyone who has experienced family travel, especially with small children, knows the absolute chaos that can be involved in packing to go!

For us, every kid gets their own travel backpack with their own prepicked assortment of snacks, travel games, and other essentials like headphones and a blanket. They pack, they carry.

What’s YOUR favorite family travel tip?

21/05/2023

Pro-tip: did you know not all carry ons are created equal? And in todays fee driven economy, airlines are getting stricter than ever. Always ALWAYS double check size restrictions before you travel, especially if you are flying one of the ultra low cost carriers or a non-American flagged carrier! European based airlines especially frequently have smaller allowances. 30 seconds of checking now will save you some HEFTY fees at the gate!

04/05/2023

What if I told you that you could visit Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Israel, all on one cruise?

So, where do YOU wanna go?
