After a fast paced, thrilling twelve days in Orlando (followed by swimming with sharks in the wild down in Jupiter) we headed on down to the Florida Keys for a few days. Neither of us had been to the keys, but have always wanted to visit the white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and soak … More Florida Keys
So after briefly covering Disney in my last post, here’s a summary of the remainder of our time in Orlando… Universal Studios 🌍 So Universal Studios has changed alot in recent years… It’s said goodbye to Jaws (sob!) and said hello to Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, Transformers, The Simpsons has expanded and now there’s Harry … More Orlando, Florida Pt.2
We’ve both been to Orlando a few times, but not for about 6 years. Since then there have been some significant changes (I.e. HARRY POTTER WORLD!) And I’d been counting down till we could finally go! There’s so much in Orlando, and we went to each park a couple of times, so I’m just going … More Orlando, Florida Pt.1
On our way down from Charleston to Orlando we stopped at a couple of places for a night, and one of them was St Augustine. It’s a small city full of Spanish Colonial Architecture, and lays claim to being the oldest city in the US. After being recommended it by James’ parents, we saw it … More St Augustine, Florida
Ahhhhhh Charleston! I don’t know where to begin with this post… I love this place and would live there in a heartbeat. It’s definitely up there in my Top 5 places we’ve visited in the US. It was founded in 1670 and the small city is defined by it’s pastel pre-civil war houses and cobblestone … More Charleston, South Carolina
Before heading down through South Carolina and onto Florida we wanted to head up to Washington DC, and say hello to Obama and Big Abe! As soon as we arrived we hopped on the Metro, and went to Arlington National Cemetery. The metro was really cheap, and easy to use. The architecture of the station … More Washington DC
As part of our stay in the US and Canada, we’ve set up a few house-sits. It’s just as it sounds, we spend a bit of time looking after someone’s home and their animals (YAY) whilst they are away, and spend a bit of time exploring somewhere new. Our first house-sit was in Durham, North Carolina, … More Durham, NC
After a day or so of exploring the strip and the local area we decided to venture out a little bit further, and head to Red Rock Canyon. It’s about 15 miles west of Las Vegas, and can be seen from the strip. The conservation area showcases a set of large red rock … More Las Vegas Pt.2
If you asked me to sum up Vegas in one word it would be… Crazy! Everything is crazy… From the architecture (there’s a mini Eiffel Tower and Empire State building), interior of the hotels, how bright everything is at night, the geological history and dramatic landscapes, the people, the food, the shopping and last … More Las Vegas Pt.1
After ending LA horse riding in the Hollywood Hills, we got straight into the car and headed onto San Diego. We were really excited about visiting it as we’d seen lots of beautiful pictures on Pinterest, and read great reviews about the zoo online. We stayed at the Bahia Hotel resort, which was in a … More San Diego
An adventure..? Alpacamybags!!
