Porto is a spectacular hillside town with picturesque and colorful buildings. It’s located on the banks of the Douro River in Portugal. Narrow streets with laundry hanging out to dry makes for a lot of pretty pictures. Surprisingly the town is actually quite small and despite the hills very walkable. it’s also famous for its port […]
Lisbon is the city of arrival for most international visitors and serves as a good home base for a visit to Portugal. In fact, it’s well located and could easily serve as a starting point for exploring many parts of Spain as well. The City of Seven Hills has a lot to offer. We would encourage the […]
We just got back from a short trip to New York City. Having unused upgrades that we didn’t want to lose was a good incentive, so we looked around for a good travel deal. The New York Times Travel Show was coming up and that was an excellent excuse to return to the “Big Apple” […]

On a whim after seeing flights from Miami for just over 100$ return we decided to visit Puerto Rico. This was our first time here and as a US territory it is simple to get to.
