How to get to Chefchaouen, Morocco from Spain? We recently took a trip to Spain and decided to go to Morocco as well, since it’s just a ferry ride away. (Ha! “just” a ferry ride away…well, not quite.) We went from Algeciras to Ceuta, crossed...

Ah, Sevilla. Sevilla is such a romantic and beautiful city. I’m not sure what I imagined before going, but it exceeded my expectations. Just the right combination of history, beauty, culture and things to do. When I think of Sevilla, it’s the sounds that...

We stopped by the town of Consuegra on our way to Sevilla. It’s located on the Calderico ridge that rises above the plains of La Mancha and is about one and a half hours from Madrid. The main attraction here is a series 16th century whitewashed windmills, that...

We are leaving for Spain and Morocco tomorrow!!! I am beyond excited, and a little nervous, too. I always get travel jitters. We are finally able to cash in all of those miles we’ve been saving for over 10 years. It took forever, but it’s totally worth...

While we were in Vegas last month, we took a day trip to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon. I looked into a bunch of tours and ultimately decided to do it on our own because that way we can do what we want when we want, we don’t have to be part of a large group...

We went to Las Vegas for the first time ever in April. The trip was a gift to my husband from his company for his 10 year anniversary. Pretty nice, huh? They put us up at the Aria, which is one of the newer hotels. We liked it because it didn’t have a cheesy...

We just got back from a trip to Puerto Rico, where Erick is from and where we met. We try to go once per year or every two years and it’s hard to truly vacation and also visit family. We stay with Erick’s mom in the city and then travel around from...

I just held a baby tiger!!!!!!!!!!!! How cool is that? I was so excited I could hardly stand it. I don’t think they are many opportunities to do that, especially here at home, so I was thrilled that we could do this. A local zoo, Natural Bridge Zoo, has two...

This banana coffee cake is my Mom’s recipe and it is the absolute best. I make it for all occasions — random weekend breakfasts, brunches with guests, etc. I taught my daughter to make it and now she is the banana coffee cake chef. 🙂 If you don’t...

Going to Greece inspired me to make gyros at home. This chicken gyros recipe is a delicious marinade for chicken and a recipe for tzatziki that I tinkered with a lot to try to replicate what I tasted in Greece. I especially like to make my own because I don’t...

The food was so good that I decided to dedicate a whole post to this topic. Food Horiatiki (Greek salad) I got this almost everywhere. It’s so fresh and delicious. It’s quartered tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green pepper, capers, oregano, feta and oil...
