Postcards from Paris, No. 4: A Lazy Sunday on the Seine? You d'Orsay!

It may have been Sunday morning, but we had no plans to take it easy. In fact, we instead made our way downtown, walking fast, faces pass(ing) — we were museum-bound. Staring blankly ahead, just making our way, making any way, through the crowd …to get to Musee d’Orsay, another one of Paris’ fine art institutions.

Two Peas in a European Pod: One Week in Ireland & England — Day 4

It wasn’t quite the crack of dawn, but Day 4 in Ireland certainly got off to an earlier start than any of its predecessors. Why, you ask? Well, because a mid-afternoon flight from Dublin to London was definitely going to sneak up on us faster than we would have liked — which meant we had but a few wee hours to see or do anything else in Galway before we had to hit the road, Jack, and not come back no more (no more, no more, no more…).

Sint Maarten & Saint Martin: Two Countries, One Island, And a Helluva Good Time, Pt. 2

As you might remember, it began with an airplane — more specifically, the kind that flies right over your head as you stand on a tiny beach.

Ever Dreamed of Visiting the North Pole? Alaska Has the Next Best Thing

Admit it: when you were a kid, paying a visit to Santa and his workshop in the North Pole was one of the top items on your travel bucket list (before you’d even heard of the term “bucket list”, most likely).
