I woke up my friends early. Today was our first official day in Europe and we were in Beautiful Barcelona. After reading tripadvisors recommendations, first on our itinerary was La Boqueria. It was recommended to have breakfast inside the market. La Boqueria did not disappoint. I’ve seen a few markets in Europe in my past [...]

Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world. I find this city not only beautiful, but tourist friendly. I love wandering through the various neighborhoods and “people watch”. I love how women make riding a bike look so sexy in their stiletto heels. Not only do I love their fashion sense, but I [...]

We tried to see the changing of guards in front of Buckingham Palace, but that didn’t work out too well. I heard it gets crowded, but no one warned how insanely crowded this ceremony gets. You may need to camp out early to get the best view. Despite the rainy weather tourists crowded the gate [...]

We got off the Saint-Michel stop and navigated our way to Notre Dame Cathedral. I was excited to see this world famous cathedral, which evoked images of Quasimodo and Esmeralda. It was a cloudy day, and I wasn’t impressed at first sight of Notre Dame Cathedral. The building was small and plain looking from a [...]

Imagine yourself walking down softly lit streets. You pass by countless picturesque alleys and canals. In a distance you can hear the gondoliers serenade the couple who was willing to fork up 80 euros for a 40 minutes ride. All that money in the name of romance. This is Venice, my favorite city “so far”. [...]

There was just something about the paragliders in Switzerland that drew my attention. I’m normally afraid of heights, especially roller coasters. I’m “so lucky” to have a partner who initially tried to help me get over this fear when we first started dating. To prevent Mark from pressuring me to ride a roller coaster, I [...]

We went to Italy May, 2009. We took the train from Florence to Rome. On the way to Rome, we stopped at Orvieto. When we arrived, we walked to Hotel Picchio to store our bags for 4euros. We then bought the Carta Unica for 18 euros each at the shop in the train station. The [...]

When people ask me how Paris was, I hesitantly say “it was ok.” Yes, I’m afraid to say, I didn’t really fall in love with it. After all the hype, I expected to feel magic and easily be enchanted by the city of lights. We stayed one week in Paris last year. I expected to [...]

We visited the village of Lacock as part of our Mad Max tours of Stonehenge. What’s so special about Lacock is that it’s a well preserved English village. Modern technology is well hidden and electrical wires run underground. It can be easily used as a movie set. Many movies especially Harry Potter have been filmed [...]

I’m a planner, and what I love most of all is TRIP planning. If you’re new to the site Mark and I are planning to take our younger brother and sisters to Iceland in July. Iceland was the only big trip planned for the year. Since Mark and I are planning to embark on a [...]
