The Nebraska Sandhills Scenic Byway stretches 272 miles from Grand Island, Nebraska to Alliance, Nebraska. We decided to head to Breckenridge, Colorado for a long weekend. Rather than taking the generic route across Nebraska on Interstate 80 we decided to take a scenic route through the Sandhills. The route is only a few hours out…
While we were in Vanuatu the land diving was taking place on Pentecost island. The land diving ceremonies only happen for a few weeks a year, so we were fortunate to be in the country while it was happening. We decided to take the tour on our last day of our trip. We took a…
Ben and I were both really excited to visit Tanna. Based on our research this island seemed quite different to the other islands we were visiting this trip. The main attraction is the volcano – Mount Yasur. We decided to stay three nights in Tanna. The first two nights were spent near the volcano and…

Romania. I can easily say that Romania is one of my favorite countries. There is so much to like about Romania, and so many different things to see and do. I’m not a big fan of returning to places we have already visited, but Romania is on the top of my list of places to…
We only had one full day free for Kyoto, so we decided to visit the Sourthern Higashiyama and Gion areas. We arrived from Osaka in the morning and left our luggage at the train station. We found a few lockers however the larger ones were all full. After wondering the train station looking for a…

Anyway, we lost a full day in…
