Whether you’re in Iceland on a short layover or for a longer visit, there’s much to see and do in this land of literature, the great outdoors (snorkeling in a tectonic rift!), and history.
Kids and water go together - it's a natural fit. And what better place to play, than along Michigan's Sunset Coast. Here are my top five places for kids along Lake Michigan.
Here's the next article in my series on traveling outside of London during your time abroad! If you didn’t get a chance to start at the beginning, make sure you read my first post here.

You're there! In Paris, exploring and eating and learning and just LOVING being there, soaking up the je ne sais quoi that is Paris.

Did you know that there are more ways to get around Paris than the Metro or a cab? Take a look!

Say Ft. Lauderdale, and what you do think? Beaches, crazy parties, overdone fun? Maybe...but the town has worked hard to discourage the Spring Break mentality, and offers a wide range of things for visitors to explore.

Guatemala is becoming an ever more popular destination for travelers of all ages.

The Ring of Kerry is the most beautiful drive in the world – and also, one that can be crowded, especially with tour buses. Yes, EVERYONE wants to see the Ring of Kerry! But did you know that right off the Ring of Kerry is a 20 mile drive along Ireland’s coast that is JUST as beautiful?
It's a visual extravaganza of the history of flight, and the US Air Force. It's worth days of your time. It's the National Air Force Museum, located in Dayton, Ohio. It's the world's largest and oldest aviation museum - and it is an extremely powerful experience.

What's the shoulder season, you may ask? It's that sweet spot between high season and low. It's also a great price break from high season prices, and low season bargains.
You may not want to travel during low season, due to weather issues (cold, monsoons, etc.). We traveled to Scotland and Ireland last September, and missed the crowds, spent less, and had gorgeous weather. You'll never miss shoulder season - it's always on, somewhere in the world. Try it!
