Who said vegan food had to be all twigs and berries? Sometimes you just feel like eating junk. Vegan junk food that is. While I was in Amsterdam, Danielle (CruiseMiss) and I visited the one of a kind Vegan Junk Food Bar and quickly discovered we were in for a real surprise. Vegan Junk Food… Read More
Who doesn’t love Amsterdam? This walkable city was meant to be explored and I love visiting it as often as I can. There are many Amsterdam hotels to choose from, but if you want to stay in central Amsterdam and near Centraal Station, there’s no better place to stay than Hotel ibis Amsterdam Centre. If you’re… Read More
What kind of traveler are you? While some people really enjoy being part of a large travel group, you know the kind — one of 100 on a huge coach bus, everyone taking a picture of the same thing at the same time, you may not be one of them. I’m definitely not since I… Read More
Dining in Amsterdam is Addictive Dining out anywhere, be it dining in Amsterdam or any other city, doesn’t necessarily have to be a white linen tablecloth and fine china sort of affair. It can be food on the go that you grab and take with you or it can be light fare in a casual… Read More

Sometimes you just want a little ghostly fun, whether at home or while traveling. Well, at least I do. Does that make sound strange? I’m a huge Ghost Adventures fan and admittedly, I do love the darker side of history. Remember my visit to the Lizzie Borden house? With my EMF detector and ghost box… Read More
When my dear friend Danielle (Cruise Miss) told me that she would be in Amsterdam after a cruise, it seemed like the perfect time to meet up in person for the first time. While we had become fast friends online, believe it or not we’ve never met in person. But all that was going to… Read More
After my two flights from Boston to Iceland and then to Amsterdam, I was so ready to get into town and meet up with Danielle. For this trip, taking the train from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) to Centraal Station was the easiest choice since the train is conveniently located beneath the airport itself. Schiphol Airport is… Read More
For my recent trip to Europe (aka my European adventure), I decided to fly IcelandAir even though one of my stops wasn’t going to be Iceland. It’s definitely not the first time I’ve flown IcelandAir and it’s safe to say it won’t be the last. I’ve previously flown Economy Comfort on more than one occasion… Read More
