It’s probably happened to all of you.
You zero in on a photo you’d like to take and then others stand in front of you or somewhere close to where you’re trying to get that memorable picture.
In essence you’ve been photo cock blocked. Continue reading Have You Ever Been Photo Cock Blocked?
I recently wrote about how Lucas and I were heading off on our first Father Son Trip.
This trip is bound to be an interesting adventure but we’ll be flying in style in business class! (Check out my Poland Trip Planning post here.)
On the way to Poland we flew in AA Business Class. (On the way home, we’re flying with Air Berlin.) Continue reading Time To Reserve Your American Airlines Business Class Meal
I recently had to cancel an AA award flight to Fiji and Vanuatu for a very good reason.
With Kim grounded from flying while pregnant with Baby W Travels, a family trip to the Pacific won’t be happening but Lucas & I are going on our first father son trip!
When the idea came up, I figured visiting Europe would be a good idea. I also wanted to visit a country that I haven’t made it to before so when I found award availability to Poland, I pulled the trigger. Continue reading 200,000 AA Miles + $563.45 + Club Carlson E-Cert= Trip for 2 to Poland
A while back I wondered if any of you have tried camel food products?
Some things I came across during our trip to the Mid- East Gulf States were various flavors of camel milk, camel tenderloin and camel burgers. I kind of regret not having had the chance to try any of these items.
After I wrote the post, I remembered that there was one important item that we came across on a bunch of occasions (especially in airports) that I left out. Continue reading Update: More Camel Products
During our trip to Cuba we had to stop by the historic Hotel Nacional in Havana to check it out. While visiting the hotel, I mentioned how it felt like we were at a museum in some ways.
Free tours are offered at the property and if timing was on our side, I would’ve loved to have taken one of these tours of the hotel.
I’ve read (and heard from Anthony Bourdain) that the food in Cuba is much better than it used to be. The main reason for this is that many more private restaurants have opened in recent years. The types of food to being cooked is supposed to be creative and diverse. Continue reading Is This The Best Burger in Cuba?
One of the things that I’m always on the look out for while traveling is something that I like to call Ridiculous Street Signs.
I’m sure many of you have seen a sign in a foreign country and laughed, wondered what it meant or even just shook you head and thought what?!
Some of these signs might not be so ridiculous to locals but to a foreigner they can cause a laugh and become the subject of a photo or two. Maybe they’re just lost in translation… Continue reading Contributor Ridiculous Street Signs #12: Potty Humor- Barbados
Kim, Lucas and I recently got back from our final trip of 2015 to Cuba.
Cuba has long been a country that I’ve wanted to visit and it was exciting from the moment the plane touched down. (That might also be due to the fact that we flew on Air China’s inaugural flight from Montreal to Havana!)

It was also nice to disconnect from the online world for a bit. I didn’t get on the internet or even attempt to until the last few days of our trip. Not having internet allowed me to catch up on sleep and finish off a book in no time!

We recently got back from a fun and very interesting trip to Cuba.
Cuba is probably one of the most talked about destinations to visit for Americans. The country has a sense of mystique due to the fact that we haven’t been allowed to freely visit for over 50 years.
Planning a trip to Cuba isn’t much different from planning a trip to any other destination. There just happen to be more questions and unknowns prior to visiting. Continue reading Resources for Planning A Trip to Cuba
Kim, Lucas and I got back from our trip to Cuba last week. Our visit has led to lots of question from friends, family and some curious readers.
It’s probably safe to say that Cuba is the most talked about travel destination for Americans these days. Cuba is an alluring destination for us Americans since we haven’t been allowed to legally visit for so many years.
The way things are going, the island should be open to Americans in the near future. Commercial flights from the US to Cuba are being restored soon which will remove once obstacle from visiting. Continue reading Reader Questions: Traveling to Cuba Info
Kim, Lucas and I recently got back from our final trip of 2015 to Cuba.Â
Cuba has long been a place that I’ve wanted to visit. I can’t say that I knew much about the island besides the fact that old American cars from the 1950s are still in use and Cubans are also really into music (and baseball)!
Visiting Cuba during the winter holidays made it a very busy time to be there. Our trip went smoothly besides having a hard time finding a car to get us to our second destination. Prior to this, we already decided to cut out one stop we planned so it ended up only affecting us in a minor way.
Here are 14 things we learned about Cuba during our trip… Continue reading 14 Things We Learned From Visiting Cuba
