Our next stop after Barcelona was Aix-en-Provence, France. Since Nice was our following stop, I wanted to find a place that was a little off the beaten path and not on the water. I also wanted to find somewhere that was easy to get to via train so after a little bit of research I … Continue reading Aix Marks the Spot

An unforgettable Korean experience
My second day in Korea got off to a great start as it was a balmy 25 degrees in the morning which felt like 75 after the single digits we fared walking around the previous day.

My first 24 hours in (South) Korea

They've went to an all-inclusive resort in Cancún or Cabo for Spring break or a quick weekend away.
