The Oregon Coast - Fav 5 {Travel Guide}

11/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Fav 5 Travel Guides are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is for the Oregon Coast. 

For more from the Pacific Northwest (PNW) check out the Let's See Seattle series with posts like Seattle for Kids and Seattle for Seasoned Visitors.

Because we're moving back to Hawaii, Bryce and I have constructed a bucket list for things to do in the PNW while we're still here.

Visiting Oregon was on that list. We decided on Manzanita because it's closer (to Seattle) than Bend, it's on the ocean, and because of the nearby Tillamook Creamery!

We visited Manzanita with our dear friends Lauren and Nate plus our dog (Jameson), and their two dogs (Dexter and Bailey)!

Roma - Rome, Italy - Part 2 Fav 5 {Travel Guide}

3/27/2020

0 Comments

 
Fav 5 {Travel Guides} are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is for Rome, Italy. 

This Travel Guide covers my second trip to Rome. See Roma - Rome, Italy - Part 1 {Travel Guide} for even more of the Eternal City. 

Look no further for more posts about International Travel and additional Italian cities including Florence, Naples, and Palermo.

Rome is a dream. It's the Eternal City. All roads lead to it! When in Rome, do as the Romans do, whatever that means.  

Rome feels like the center of Italy, Europe, and even the world. It's the first city we touched down in during our first big trip out of the country and a place that I will always gladly return to. ​
Just two years after Bryce and first I visited Rome we went back, again, with my parents. We weren't quite seasoned travelers but we knew enough to make the most of a few short days in the Eternal City. We had a well oiled plan for our visit including many of the historical sights, a visit with the Pope, and so SO much delicious Italian food.

Firenze - Florence, Italy - Fav 5 {Travel Guide}

3/20/2020

Fav 5 Travel Guides are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is for Firenze - Florence, Italy. 

Additional Italian cities include Rome, Naples, and Palermo.

Firenze or Florence is a city in Central Italy. It's located in the Tuscany region in the middle of "the boot."
I visited Florence for three jam-packed days in 2016 with both of my parents and my husband, Bryce. 

We all LOVED Florence because of its manageable size and walkability. It is a city that's equal parts gorgeous and historic. We hopped between sites and museums, ate as often as we could, and walked several miles each day in Florence.

This was my parents' first trip out of the US and Florence was a perfect first destination. Our second stop was Rome, in all of its grandeur, so we appreciated the slower pace of Florence before the real craziness crept in.

Long Beach, California - Fav 5 {Travel Guide}

Fav 5 Travel Guides are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is for Long Beach, California. 

For more within Cali check out Travel Guides for Palm Springs, Disneyland, and Disney's California Adventure. 

​See more Travel Guides for Travel in the USA and Traveling the World.

We snuck out of the wintery gloom in Seattle for a long weekend in Long Beach, California earlier this month. Myself, my husband Bryce, and our great friend Lauren walked, scootered, and explored all over the city! 

This Travel Guide highlights the best parts of our trip and where you should stop if you make a visit to Long Beach. And no, we didn't see Snoop Dogg but we did sing "with so much drama in the LBC" often!

New York City - Part 2 Fav 5 {Travel Guide}

1/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Fav 5 Travel Guides are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is the second of two parts for New York City, New York. 

Look no further for the first New York City Fav 5 and more posts about Travel in the USA.

Last week I created a Fav 5 Travel Guide for New York City based on our visit in December.

There is SO SO SO much to see in NYC. You can never do or see it all. We didn't have time for a broadway show and we opted to skip the World Trade Center and 9-11 memorial this time to keep our visit cheerful! 

The original New York City Fav 5 Travel Guide is great but it left so many places and things unmentioned. 
I'd been thinking about a Part II for NYC and here it is, my traveling friends. It's got some of the most famous sites in the city, a few classic NYC food items, and more.
