Hi friends, welcome back to my Nantucket series! On our second full day on the island, we decided to explore Sconset on the eastern side. It’s about eight miles from town so not walkable. Last visit we rented an electric scooter, but we both decided we’d never do that again. The scooters only go about…

Hi friends, welcome back and happy first day of spring! I always love the fresh start of a new season, even if spring in NYC is pretty sporadic. We usually have a few teaser spring days before more cold, and then two real spring weeks before it gets too hot. After the holidays the city…
Hi friends, welcome back to my Switzerland series! All too quickly our time in the mountains was coming to an end and we wanted to make the most of our last full day in Wengen. Our plan included one last hike along the Eiger Trail, lunch at a mountain hut, and enjoying the cable cars…

Hi friends, welcome back to my Switzerland series! The next morning Jon and I packed our bags and headed to the train station for part one of our three step journey to Wengen. Usually I’d be weary of having to transfer trains a few times, but I can’t say enough good things about Switzerland’s public…

Hi friends, welcome back to my Catskills series. Our second full day started with some rain so we hung out and enjoyed our coffee before heading to Kaaterskill Falls. This waterfall is the tallest cascading waterfall in New York and has been on my list for a few years. The guidebook in our Airbnb suggested…
Hi friends, welcome back! Before diving into the holiday season on my blog, I'm heading back in time to my Fourth of July trip to the Catskills. When Jon and I were deciding what to do for the Fourth of July, we struggled to pick a location but wanted something easily drivable and relaxing. We…

Hi friends, welcome back to my Italy series! It probably comes as no surprise that a hike in the Amalfi Coast was one of my top priorities, and hiking the Path of the Gods (Il Sentiero degli Dei in Italian) lived up to my high expectations. The name of this trail comes from the myth…
