Our weekend in Washington, DC was fantastic. We noticed that despite it being the weekend of the Cherry Blossom Festival, the strange weather that we have been having in the Northeast resulted in no blooms. It didn’t matter because we were intoxicated with all of the history that DC has to offer. Our hotel was… Read More
I can’t believe that I have never visited Washington, DC. Yes, we drove through it once and stayed in Georgetown, but I have never seen the White House, the Washington Monument, or the Lincoln Memorial among many of the sites this great city has to offer. I am excited to spend a weekend close by… Read More

A great way to spend Valentine’s day and Mardi Gras is on a cruise like we did this year. We left Boston flying non-stop on Virgin American and I have to tell you, all airlines should make flying this much fun and easy. It was definitely worth the upgrade to Main Cabin Select! We got… Read More
One of the stops on our Carnival Cruise was to Nassau, Bahamas. We were experiencing unseasonably cold temperatures on this cruise, but we were thinking positive and hoping for a nice, warm day. When we arrived in port, we made our way into town to catch the local bus, the #10 jitney, to the Wyndham… Read More
My last trip was a short one on the Carnival “Sensation” in January. This four day cruise is a pleasant introduction into the world of cruising or a quick getaway for anyone wanting to sneak away for a bit.
