Hello! I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter break. We spent the days following Easter cruising the Mediterranean Sea aboard the Norwegian EPIC. The Norwegian EPIC was the first ship with an exclusive Haven when it launched in 2010. The ship was recently refurbished in 2020 and has a guest capacity of 4,100. There are

The cave view was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and our photos do not do it justice. It was a very difficult hike through the snow for us southern girls, but we had an amazing
The Grand Canyon is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. It’s so hot that you can easily forget to treasure it’s beauty—especially when wearing a face mask! We last traveled to Arizona in August 2020 to celebrate a birthday. We traveled by plane from Vegas to see the Canyon and were able
It’s not Thursday but we decided to flashback to our Alaskan cruise—aboard the Norwegian Jewel—and show some photos from our trip to the Klondike Gold Fields to mine for gold!!
