Travel to Budapest We traveled to Budapest, Prague directly from a friend’s wedding in Dallas, TX in early May 2019.  Lucky for us, we were able to book our international flights for free with the use of credit card points thanks to our Chase Sapphire Reserve card.  What this meant, though, was a rather long …

Believe it or not, traveling with only a carry-on is very feasible no matter how big the adventure!  Bringing less luggage is cheaper, easier, and less worrisome.  We try to only carry on for every trip we embark on because it allows much more flexibility in travel plans.  Below I’ll explain the major advantages of …

The World Famous Simon Cabaret Well, this was a fun and interesting night!  After a long day on our Phi Phi Islands speedboat tour, we had one more stop to make before our Thailand trip was complete.  The Simon Cabaret is the most famous Ladyboy Show in Phuket.  That’s right, a ladyboy show.  But don’t …

Everyone knows that Thailand’s beaches are beautiful.  But to witness the most captivating and breathtaking scenery that Thailand has to offer, we needed to venture to the Phi Phi Islands.  Primarily large limestone cliffs emerging from the sea with some surrounding natural beach, these islands can be reached by speedboat from Phuket and are a popular …

A Morning in Old Phuket Town On Thursday morning, the fifth day of our trip, we once again tried (and failed) to sleep in a little.  Being abroad is just too exciting to waste time sleeping!  We ate breakfast at our hotel, the Hyatt Regency Kamala Beach, which allowed us the option of pre-purchasing our …

After spending hours in the Thailand heat at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, Emily and I were ready for a dip in the gigantic pool at the Hyatt Regency Kamala Beach.  Before doing so, though, we wanted to get our feet wet in the Andaman Sea.  Our hotel had a “beach” right across the street that …

How do you describe a day filled with more fun than you ever thought possible?  It was Ivorything we hoped it would be!  Ok, silly puns aside, this experience was an absolutely unforgettable one and definitely lived up to the hype.  Let me start by saying that we found the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary to be …

Not even an exhaustingly busy day in Hong Kong followed by a fun night at the markets with several adult beverages was enough to keep us in bed long; we were back up and ready for more adventure early on Tuesday morning.  This was our last morning in Hong Kong, and we needed to be …

We began our first and only full day in Hong Kong bright and early.  With so much to do in Hong Kong and such little time available, we planned a day full of things to see and do.  We started with breakfast at a sit down in Tsim Sha Tui that we came across on …

With less than 48 hours to enjoy as much as possible in Hong Kong, we got straight to exploring after quickly refreshing at our hotel, New World Millennium in East Tsim Sha Tsui.  We were quite hungry, so we set about with the plan to find some authentic food as we got lost in the …
