Family Vacation Fun, Savings and Ideas
We booked a 9 day trip to Palm Springs and our friends assured us it was way to long and we would get bored. My husband golfs but I do not, so that was not on the agenda for this trip. Truthfully we were just chasing some sunshine and looking for … [Continue reading]
We leave for New York in a few days and we have never been before. I have my list of places I want to see and even some places to eat. When you plan you kind of get an idea of what you think a place will look like, so I've decided to make this a post … [Continue reading]
I think we left part of our hearts in Rome. We kind of went in not expecting to love the big city. But Rome is so different, especially old town Rome, which is where you want to be anyways. We stayed in an AirBnB, very close to the Pantheon. Just … [Continue reading]
How would you like to take someone with you, for free, on every single Southwest flight you take for the next couple of years? It’s like a perpetual coupon for 50% off every Southwest flight. Sound too good to be true? That’s what I thought … [Continue reading]

San Diego has to be one of those near perfect places to visit pretty much any time of the year. The weather is fairly consistent all year long, and it seems like the sun is always shining. It's also very easy for those of us on the West Coast to get … [Continue reading]
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I'm hoping to talk Amy into a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia in the not-so-distant future (St. Petersburg, Russia: The Venice Of The North). A second place I'd like to visit during the same trip is … [Continue reading]
Rome is a city that has been on our list for a long long time. This year, we're finally taking the plunge and heading to Italy, with Rome being on both ends of the trip. We're looking forward to making the most of one of the oldest cities in the … [Continue reading]
If you've read much on VacationThrills.com, you're probably aware that we're from Portland, Oregon. It's not much of a surprise, then, to hear that we love this city. It has a ton to offer, most notably world-class food, great craft beer, some of the … [Continue reading]
For a long time now, I’ve wanted to visit Russia. Specifically, Moscow and St. Petersburg. My wife doesn’t really share my fascination with Russia, nor remotely share my wanting to visit the country, but that hasn’t deterred me from dreaming about … [Continue reading]
We just did a 5 day hiking trip to Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. We aren’t hard core hikers, so covering over 30 miles in just a few days, was a big deal to us. But we did see some beautiful country. For us, the easiest way to get there is to fly through Las […]
We just got home from a fabulous vacation. We landed in Rome, then did a road trip up to Florence. From there we flew to Barcelona then onto some charming small towns of Catalan, Spain. The whole trip took 3 weeks and it was spectacular. After our 4 days in Rome we grabbed a car […]
We just did a trip in Italy and Spain in which we discovered and enjoyed some beautiful small charming towns. From Instagram to Facebook all my friends were asking me, “How did you even find these little towns?” Well I wish I could say I have this great method, but instead it’s just happy accidents. […]
We did a driving vacation from Glasgow, Scotland to London, England. We made a few stops along the way, but our most favorite stop was in the Cotswolds.
