Prague, Czech Republic
During our last trip to Vienna, we planned a few days in Prague despite all of the post covid travel limitations. We arrived in Vienna the Thursday before Thanksgiving and had three days of pre-lockdown outings. A few of which included Christmas markets, Heurigens (local run wineries) and hiking around the Anninger mountain. As the lockdown went into effect, we decided to go ahead with our plans to go to Prague by train. I have taken the train a lot in Germany but in Austria I had only ridden the subway. The train was very comfortable, completely empty and quite affordable. We spent around 50 euros per first class ticket…

Majorca, Spain 2019
I can sum up our Majorca trip in 3 words….best trip ever! I have always loved the water and beach but nothing compares to the beautiful Majorca coastline. Most importantly, this was a trip that our girls really loved, too. Teenagers can be difficult to drag around Europe and aren’t always up for sightseeing, but Majorca was a perfect family trip. Our days were filled with plenty of beach time, water sports, sight-seeing and great food.

Discount Travel on WOW Air – the good, the bad and the ugly
Our Trip Traveling as a family can get expensive but there are ways to reign in your budget. This summer my family embarked on a three week European vacation. This trip included our two daughters, 12 and 14, as well as, my mom who has recently retired. We wanted to see as much as possible without spending a fortune. We planned this trip to coincide with my husband’s July work trip to Cologne, Germany. This meant it would just be us girls for the trek over and back. My daughters busy summer schedules complicated the travel planning because we had to wait until last minute to book our plane tickets. …

Croatia, an affordable, friendly paradise!
It seems like Croatia has gotten a lot of attention this summer, from making it to the world cup finals, to the shooting locale for the much atticipated movie, Mama Mia 2 (loved it). My family got to visit this beautiful country last month and really fell in love with this place. The people of Croatia are kind and welcoming, so much so, that you almost forget you are a long way from the US. There are few difficulties in planning a trip here, like say laungage or being able to find information online. We stayed in Opatija, which is in northwest Croaita. It has the most stunning landscapes and…

Weekend in Paris
I have just returned from a quick trip to Germany, where we squeezed in a weekend in Paris. It was my first time in this very unique city and I would point out a few things: there's no bad food in all of Paris everyone must go French women know fashion Food From street food, basic breakfast, to fine dining- it's amazing. There's a level of freshness, flavor and attention to detail that appears to be their standard way of doing things.
