Whisky Tasting and Scenic Views in Scotland’s Cairngorms
A trip to Scotland is not complete without a visit to Cairngorms National Park. Or a visit to a whisky distillery. Luckily, this tour combines the two! Our first stop on this tour was actually at the village of Carrbridge- a gateway of sorts to Cairngorms National Park. This village is a great place to…

Fall Foliage Trip to Lake Minnewaska State Park
Minnewaska State Park Preserve is located just about a two-hour’s drive from Manhattan if the traffic’s on your side- and quite a bit longer if it’s not. Since we’d left bright and early, we thought we’d been able to dodge the worst of it when we came across a complete stand-still just about a mile…

It’s hard to find a person among us that has not heard of the ever popular Greek island of Mykonos, but for those who are looking to add a little historical spin on their island trip I recommend the nearby island of Delos. Ferry tickets to this UNESCO World Heritage Site can be purchased at…

Valley of Fire State Park
Valley of Fire State Park is one of my favorite excursions out of Las Vegas. Just about an hour outside the city strip, Valley of Fire features some incredible red rock formations- and I say this as someone who’s spent a significant amount of time around red rocks! We made a quick cell service-related pit…
