Cape May Fun!
The kids were going to get another Tuesday off so I thought, why not see if we can get to another hotel on our list. After reviewing the list of hotels, I saw Congress Hall at a great price, so I made the reservation (Sunday-Tuesday) and off we went. Congress Hall in Cape May, N.J.,…

Cleveland rocks! (It really does)
Just before school started again we decided to try to get one last trip in. We looked on our list for something relatively affordable that we could drive to and so Cleveland was the winner. At around 8 hours’ drive it wasn’t too much of a drive for us and got there just after lunch.…

Mom’s Day in San Juan
We spent a long weekend in Puerto Rico for mom’s day and we had a blast! Day 1: We arrived at the Royal Sonesta in Isla Verde, only a few minutes from the airport, and the staff/service was really great. Everyone was so friendly and really went out of their way to be helpful. The…

Argentina/Uruguay Vacation – Part 2
After days of sightseeing in Buenos Aires we took a boat and bus ride to Punta Del Este, Uruguay. To get there I booked both means of transit through Buquebus and the total ride was about 4.5 hours (1 hour boat, 3.5 hours bus). The buses are very comfortable, air-conditioned buses with bathroom but Tip:…

Stop 2: Honolulu, HI
Our next stop was the Royal Hawaiian in Honolulu. This hotel definitely gave more resort vibes than the many high-rise hotels along the beach. A beautiful hotel with activities going on all day. This part of the trip we chose to keep lower key (not so many activities), so we could enjoy the beach and…

Stop 1: San Diego, CA
As the first part of our 2-hotel tour on the west coast, we stayed at the U.S. Grant, located in downtown San Diego. To prep for this trip I once again purchased GoCity passes to save $ on attractions. SeaWorld and San Diego Zoo alone cost more than the passes, and we planned on doing…

The hotel for this trip, Bavaro Palace, an all-inclusive in Punta Cana. FYI – You need to fill out an eTicket to travel to and from DR so just something to…

VT in Spring!
Our next “iconic” hotel was the Woodstock Inn in Woodstock VT. The location is about 30 min from Killington, which many are familiar with as a popular ski area. The area was mountainous and lots of farms, a far cry from being in central London, where we had just come from…It was definitely a nice…

London Town adventures!
It’s our first international trip! Going in we knew London was going to be a walking/sightseeing type of trip so there were a few things we got in order before we left. After 8 days, I have to say, great city but exhausted! 15-20,000 steps a day…We were glad we wore good sneakers 🙂 Prep…

It’s been a while…
So, it has been some time since our last “iconic hotel” trip. The second half of the 2023 was of course the beginning of the school year and then the holidays snuck right up on us. During that time though I have been working on this year’s trips and they are going to be awesome!…
