48 HOURS IN DUBAI
Traveling during this pandemic was no easy task, but it did allow Colin and I to experience trips we otherwise would not have be able to afford. Africa has been on my bucket list for as far back as I can remember, however, the cost of the trip there was always holding me back. I pick a lot of our destinations based on the cost of flight/hotel, not on our urge to travel there. That’s exactly how we ended up going to Africa out of the blue! Our trip to Tahiti was cancelled a week before we were to leave, so I started looking through my saved album of dream…

Our visit to Watkins Glen State Park
Our time in New York was pretty short and busy, but we wanted to fit in as much as possible. Our second day there we woke up at 5:30am and headed toward the finger lakes. They were about 2.5 hours away and we needed to be back in Buffalo for a dinner at 6pm. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see Watkins Glen. It has been on my list for some time now and we were going to be so close to it! So, we rented a car for two days and crammed everything outside the city into it. The ride out there was so beautiful and most of…

Hiking from Boca de Tomatlan to Las Animas – Mexico part 2
Before going to Puerto Vallarta I did a lot of searching to find activities to do outside the city. Puerto Vallarta is definitely a resort city full of retirees, so finding something low key was pretty hard. I found a good bit of reviews and posts about a hike from Boca to Animas. Mostly, all the post were from 2014 and not the most up to date. That being said, the hike is not as secluded as it used to be and we passed multiple groups of people. However, Colin and I both agree this hike made the trip to Puerto Vallarta. We took a bus from our place (about 15…

Puerto Vallarta – Day 1
Heading to the New part of town Loved exploring the streets Made the mistake of petting the cat So, it followed us around a bit I’ve been back from Mexico two days and I’m ready to start planning for our next trip. I usually include all the details for our trip in one giant post, however, this time I am going to write smaller separate posts. For our first day in Mexico, we spent most of our time hanging out at our hotel/beach and exploring the city. This was the first trip that I did not plan everything before arriving. To tell you the truth, Puerto Vallarta seemed really touristy on…

The great winter storm
coffee is always a must on snow days! We don’t have many snow storms in the south, so when Colin and I found out we were going to have one we had to go to the mountains. We left Friday after work and drove to the cabin. It didn’t start snowing until we were 20 minutes away and it really started to come down. There was already an inch on the ground when we arrive and headed out to dinner. The next day we headed into Asheville bright and early, actually before the sun even came up. It was still snowing and there was over 5 inches on the ground…
