Even though we were beyond disappointed to miss out on our day in Istanbul, we were thrilled that we still made it in plenty of time for our day trip across the border to Montenegro. We definitley slept very well, and got up in time to enjoy breakfast at our hotel, which was included in the cost of our stay. That is always nice and convenient especially when having to catch an early tour. Our guide (who was also our driver) was so much fun and it was a super sm...

We made it to a dream destination of ours: Dubrovnik, Croatia, however that was not without an extremely stressful and frustrating day at the airport. We were supposed to leave on Monday, April 11. Our flight was to leave early afternoon and after 13 hours we were to land in Istanbul for our 18 hour layover and private tour of the big sites of the city. Well, none of that happened. At first, the ariline (Turkish Airlines) just announced the flight was delayed a...

Well, this trip more than any other I believe went by way too fast. Thursday was our final full day in Puerto Vallarta.

We opted for Rzr vehicles instead of ATVs as we had used those in Costa Rica already, so wanted to try something different. It was a very fun day, but very long and started very early. It was pretty HOT in Mexico, so even though we had to get up super early to catch the ride up the mountain, I did not figure I needed a jacket because it was very humid a...

What a great Valentine's Day in town and at our resort! We didn't really set an alarm or have a goal to be up at any time, but we did make it up in time for breakfast at the buffet. We then walked down to the beach to get a nice closer look as we did not have a chance to do so the day before. We were so happy with our choice of resort. You can see the ocean and hear the waves from one of the pools, and the water was gorgeous. After eating we cleaned up and met ...
