Zaragoza was another one of the places we visited on our road trip in eastern Spain, and we’re glad we added it to our itinerary. Located in northeastern Spain’s Aragon region, Zaragoza was originally an Iberian settlement before becoming established as a Roman colony named Caesaraugusta in 25 BCE. It is the only city to […]
We visited Valencia as part of our eastern Spain road trip adventure, and it was definitely one of the highlights. We spent three days in the Old Town and could have easily used an extra day to explore the newer revamped port area. And we visited at the end of November hoping to enjoy the […]
We visited Aranjuez during our road trip in eastern Spain. The Aranjuez Palace would be a nice addition to any visit to Madrid, especially for those wanting to explore attractions further afield. It could easily be done with public transportation as a day trip from Madrid. Not even an hour south of Madrid (depending on […]
Located about an hour’s drive north of Madrid, Segovia makes a great day trip for anyone interested in castles, cathedrals, and ancient Roman ruins! We visited Segovia on our weeklong road trip adventure from Madrid. While we didn’t stay overnight, we got a good feel for the main attractions of the city. Segovia would make […]

We had been to Costa Rica’s Monteverde and Arenal areas after having put it off for years and were so impressed that we booked another flight shortly after our return. The beauty of the scenery and the multitude of rare colorful birds left a lasting impression on us. This time instead of flying to Liberia […]
Montreal is so beautiful under a fresh coat of snow! Even more so during the holidays when the Christmas lights are twinkling and glowing through the white snow. Every year since we moved south, we look forward to our holiday time visit. It has become a tradition! To reunite and celebrate with family is the […]

There are also many beautiful parks to see and world-renowned museums to visit. Another good reason […]
