Paris in 3 Days
What to do and see on a short trip to Paris Recently we went to Paris for my son’s birthday and a kind of full circle celebration of six years of marriage. My husband and I spent some of our first dates in Paris, so returning for both events was a good enough reason to…

Madrid
It was starting to get a little embarrassing, living in Spain and never visiting the capital city. When I first moved here, my husband and I would take every opportunity to travel to other countries. I wanted to visit Madrid, but with limited holiday time, it always seemed to get bumped for something else. However,…

Canary Islands – Lanzarote
Lanzarote was the first Canary Island we visited and a very good ambassador for the other islands. We were impressed with its strange lunar landscape, black sand beaches, and many activities.

Fuerteventura, Canary Islands
The Canary Islands always hold so much wonder and amazement to me. We have traveled to two so far, and can’t wait to visit the next five. Although there are similarities in the commercial areas such as chain stores, restaurants, and services, each island has different landscapes and distinctly different energy. Whereas Lanzarote boasts black…
