Australia Bucket list: Ayers Rock – Uluru
When you think of Australia, Sydney and Melbourne first come to mind. But to really see how vastly different Australia can be, you should venture out of the major cities. We recommend a side trip to Uluru also known as Ayers Rock. The best way to see the “rock” is both at sunset and sunrise. Which means at least one night is a must. More …
Add Port Douglas to your Australia Itinerary
Cairns and Port Douglas are your gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. But that isn’t the only reason to put this on your itinerary. You should also consider Port Douglas because you can visit the oldest rainforest on planet Earth – The Daintree National Park. We spent three amazing days in Port Douglas and I dream about going back. We took two small group tours …
Melbourne Itinerary for first time visitors
Melbourne was not high on my list of places to see in Australia. I just hadn’t done a ton of research on it and not many people had told me “you have to go there”. Sydney, Great Barrier Reef (Port Douglas) and Ullru were high on the list. But Melbourne was just another big city in my mind – would it be all that different …
Venice Itinerary for First Time Visitors
Venice can be a magical city unlike most others you will travel to in Italy or even Europe. If you haven’t heard, it’s slowly sinking, which is evident when a heavy downpour occurs and flood ensues. While experts say it will sink by 2100, we should have several generations around to enjoy its wonder. While certainly one can say that there are other “man-made” islands …
Rome Itinerary for First Time Visitors
In case you didn’t already know this, Rome is a big city with some cool ruins. Unlike Paris with great transportation and a city that is arguably walkable (I know that is debatable but so many of the tourist locations are close enough to walk to each other), Rome in my opinion is neither of those. Rome has the smallest metro system in all of …
Paris Itinerary for first time visitors
Paris is one of those cities that you could spend weeks and maybe still not get it all done. I’ve been there numerous times and have yet to do everything I wanted to do. Now one reason is because I keep bringing people to Paris that have never been so I am redoing some of the places I’ve been before. That’s okay because I wouldn’t …

Everyone is planning a trip to Europe and Paris is near the top of places to go. Are you planning your first trip to Paris? Going with a large group or family and not sure what to see or do that would please everyone? You need to start with the basics like selecting the right location for your accomodations, determining the right type of transportion …
How to spend four amazing days in Sydney
Sydney is a great place to start any first trip to Australia. There are a lot of accommodations around the tourist spots and if you are coming from the US, the most direct flights go to Sydney. It’s a great stepping off place to get your bearings while getting over the intense jet lag (it’s a 15-hour flight from LAX) and frankly if you have …
