  • Fire and Ice: South Shore of Iceland 2023

    Fire and Ice: South Shore of Iceland 2023

    The second part of our winter honeymoon extravaganza took us to Iceland, which is rapidly becoming one of my favorite destinations. Iceland does an excellent job of making it very easy to visit. They have busses running constantly from the airport to the heart of Reykjavik. They advertise tours and excursions robustly, and make it convenient…

    Traveling Thailand: Bangkok and Phuket

    Back in 2019, several friends and I were fortunate enough to travel to China and Thailand. While China was fascinating (and will get its own dedicated post because I have THINGS TO SAY), Thailand was the country I was most looking forward to. I was a bit nervous, though, because you don’t hear a ton…

  • Greek Islands Itinerary

    Greek Islands Itinerary

    When you think of Greece, I bet you think of whitewashed buildings, windmills, and creeping bougainvillea. While you’re not going to see that in Athens, you will see it in spades all throughout the Greek Islands. While Santorini is probably the most famous of the Greek Isles, there are actually hundreds of small islands dotted…
