7 Unconventional Museums Worth Visiting

October 15, 2020|Croatia, Europe, Florida, Poland, Recent Posts, Reviews & Tips, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States|

I’ve visited my fair share of galleries and museums around the world, and to be honest, I don’t remember much about most of them. Unless you’re deeply into art or history, it all becomes a blur of genius talent and antiquity. On the other hand, I have experienced several unconventional museums during my travels that have stayed with me years later. Some have been on the lowbrow side, but they are all so much fun. Here are seven unconventional gems worth visiting on your next trip to one of these cities. […]

Pandemic Cross-Border Business Travel

October 1, 2020|Lifestyle, Recent Posts, Relationships, Travel Stories, United States|

The border between Canada and the United States has always been relatively porous, with folks going back and forth easily for business and pleasure. The pandemic put an end to that for the most part. There is still some traffic, though, involving those who are essential workers or travelling for trade. I checked in on a couple dealing with cross-border business travel right now to see what it’s like when there is no tagging along, and it comes with the extra stress of COVID-19. […]

Travel Destinations I’m Not Keen to Revisit

September 12, 2019|California, Croatia, Czech Republic, Florida, India, Reviews & Tips|

Because I am mostly a tag-along traveller, I often don’t choose the places I visit. That suits me fine because Steve’s business travel often takes us places I would have never picked myself, and many of those destinations turn out to be way more fun than I expected. There have been a few spots, though, that do not inspire me to return. They are not necessarily horrible places, but they either have deficits I find hard to overcome or simply leave me wanting.  I offer you here, the travel destinations I’m not keen to revisit. A few might surprise you. If you love these places, feel free to push back and give me a reason to want to return. […]

Puerto Rico Vacation: What to See, Do, and Experience

March 28, 2019|Puerto Rico, United States|

The New York Times named Puerto Rico number one on its Places to Go list for 2019. We had planned to visit this bustling Caribbean Island before seeing the list, but it certainly reinforced our vacation plans for this year. So, is Puerto Rico all that? Is it a tourist dream or still struggling to overcome the damage Hurricane Maria left behind? We loved it, and if you’re reading this, we hope you’ll seriously consider a visit. If you do, here are some ideas for what to do, see, and experience. […]

Review: Butterfly World Florida

March 13, 2019|Florida, Reviews & Tips, United States|

The one thing Florida has in abundance is natural beauty. And heat! As a Canadian visiting in winter, it’s the perfect place to thaw out. Tag-along trips with Steve have brought me to the Sunshine State several times. I always try to seek out a new attraction and this time it was Butterfly World Florida in Coconut Creek. The park supports 20,000 live butterflies surrounded by lush botanical gardens and a few other natural attractions. […]

Museum of Science Boston: A rainy day afternoon of discovery

November 8, 2018|Massachusetts, Recent Posts|

As regular readers know, Boston is a frequent destination for me as a tag-along traveller because the head office of the organization Steve works for is located just outside of this historic American city. Many people (locals and visitors alike) have asked me over the years if we have visited the Museum of Science. It gets raves. For whatever reason, we never got to it. This last visit found us in a hotel a few blocks away from the museum. Proximity combined with a rainy, hair-standing-on-end windy day made it the perfect time to visit. […]
