You probably know that the Eiffel Tower is lit up at night. It’s really pretty to look at. What’s really cool to see though, is from nightfall until 1am – every hour (on the hour) for five minutes, the lights sparkle! It’s really a great sight to see! So if you’re going to be near […]
If you have a trip booked to another country where they speak another language, you may wonder if you should try to learn the language. I mean, if you’re only going to be there for a week or so, what’s the point? Right? Absolutely not! If you’re going somewhere that they speak another language, it’s […]
Are you a fan of Monet’s paintings? Then here’s a museum that you’ve probably never heard of, but you just HAVE to visit when you’re in Paris. The Musee de l’Orangerie is on the corner of the Tuileries Gardens, and is right next to the Place de la Concorde – so there is a good […]
Paris is beautiful during the day. But it’s also really beautiful at night. Major attractions are all lit up, and it’s beautiful to see. When you’re walking around on your own, you don’t end up seeing most of these attractions at night. Why? Because most attractions close around 6pm. So by the time it’s dark […]

When you’re planning a trip to Paris, you think about all of the well known sights to visit that you’ve heard about over and over. There’s Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and so on. But one thing you probably didn’t even know existed is an Archeological Crypt right in front of Notre-Dame! Even better, […]
Anytime is a good time to go to Walt Disney World in my book…but there are times that I like going even better than others. One of those times is during the Food & Wine Festival. While the Food & Wine Festival is fun – I do enjoy trying some of the foods…the real reason […]
For the past week or so, I’ve been watching bears in Alaska fish for salmon. I didn’t even have to leave my house thanks to Explore.org and the many webcams that they have listed. In the picture, there is only 1 bear fishing…but that picture was taken at 6:15 AM in Alaska, and most of […]
Let me tell you about the first (and so far only) time I’ve ever seen chocolate butter. This past April, I went to Hershey for a mini vacation. Because of the price, we weren’t staying at a Hershey Hotel, but still wanted to get to see a few of the hotels, and have a meal […]
What songs make you think about your last vacation? While I’m writing this post, I have Disney music going on in the background. At the moment, I’m listening to the Entrance Medley played at Epcot, but just a little while ago I heard a walkthrough of the long closed Horizons ride (also in Epcot). Just […]
