Over Spring Break we headed to a couple of very glamorous US cities, Cleveland and Detroit.
While in Cleveland, we found some quirky sites to check out. After a visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, we had to make a quick stop on the way back to our Airbnb. Continue reading Visiting The Largest Rubber Stamp In The World… In Cleveland!
Over the years, Atlas Obscura has been a great resource for finding interesting and bizarre sites all over the world.
They claim to be “The definitive map of the world’s extraordinary sights“. I’d definitely agree! Continue reading Awesome! Atlas Obscura Now Has An iOS App!
When traveling to new places, I research the areas we’ll be visiting on a variety of sites to find things to see and do.
One of my favorite sites is Atlas Obscura. Atlas Obscura claims to be, “the definitive guide to the world’s hidden wonders.” I’d agree with their claim as on the site we’ve found lots of interesting and off the beaten path things to visit over the years.
During our visit to Iceland, we came across a somewhat bizarre attraction that I wanted to check out as long as it wasn’t really out of the way.
As some of you may know, Bobby Fischer is probably one of the most famous chess players in the world. Continue reading Searching For Bobby Fischer in Iceland
Upon landing in Lisbon, we picked up our rental car and then drove straight to Evora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, listed for its historic center.
While planning our trip, I decided on visiting Evora primarily due to one ghoulish site. I came across Portugal’s Chapel of Bones (Capella Dos Ossos) through one of my favorite sites, Atlas Obscura. Continue reading A Visit To The Ghoulish Bones Chapel In Evora, Portugal
Atlas Obscura is giving away a trip for two to Turkmenistan and the Gates of Hell!
The prize includes a guided tour to this country rarely visited by tourists and a gift card to be used towards flights.

In a little over a week, Kim, Lucas and I will be heading off on probably our biggest trip of the year.
On Christmas Day, I had what could be considered the best flight connection ever. During a stop in Atlanta (on the way to Jamaica) I booked tickets to Abu Dhabi from NYC for $232.53 each.
During our trip, we’ll be visiting Abu Dhabi, other Emirates and a few other countries in the region. It’s going to be really hot but we’re still looking forward to our trip! Continue reading In the UAE, Falcons Get Passports
