On a trip to Seattle, the one destination you need to visit is Pike Place Market. Located on the waterfront, this is a one-stop-shop for all things Seattle! You’ll find locals here as well as tourists, all looking for fresh fish, fruits, veggies, or flowers or buying local goods, arts, and crafts. We could go […]

For many of us, our pets are members of our family. They are our priceless companions, best friends, or like children. Providing top-notch care for our animals is important, but many pet-parents aren’t aware of the fantastic service of professional pet sitting. Pictured Above: P.A.W.S. Pet Sitters owner Patricia Wood with Zeke, Montana, and Val (who […]

In many tourist locations, you will find helicopter tours available. I’ve even seen helicopters for hire at state fairs, and they’re not cheap. Why should you spend the money for a short ride in a helicopter? Are there other factors to consider besides money? Is a helicopter tour right for you? We have a few […]

Travel is a way to learn about places and cultures, and that does not exclude the ancient kind! At this point, we have visited five different Mayan sites (four in Mexico, one in Belize), and the scenery never gets old. Wandering through temples and pyramids was something I had always dreamed of doing, basically because […]

Cozumel will always have a special place in my heart. It was my first international destination! Since our first visit in 2008, we have been back to this beautiful island many times, each time getting to explore a little bit more of what Cozumel has to offer. So, if you’re looking for things to do […]

We had seen the Kooky Canuck restaurant before while visiting the downtown area (seeing shows at the Orpheum and such), but after seeing its “Kookamonga Challenge” attempted on Man Versus Food on the Travel Channel, we knew we’d have to pay this place a visit. Just what is a “Kookamonga Challenge”? Well, it’s a chance at […]

Charles Vergo’s Rendezvous is the home to my favorite Memphis-style barbecue ribs. The pulled pork is delicious, but the Rendezvous is known worldwide for the ribs. If you’re planning a trip, know that you won’t find the entrance on a main street. Yes, you have to walk down an alley, go down to a basement, and […]

Do you love to eat fish? If so, definitely put Japan on your list of places to visit. Japan was overflowing with fresh fish dishes cooked (or un-cooked) up in innovative ways. My only problem with this is that I don’t like fish. Unpopular opinion, I know, but I’m from north Mississippi and just didn’t […]

One of the countries that we’ve spent the most time in is super-friendly Japan, though we haven’t even scratched the surface with our sightseeing! After going through photos from our 2011 stay in Japan, I wanted to share some of the most beautiful sites we saw. Japan definitely seems to have it all, from the natural […]

Well, it’s about time we wrote a “To-Do” list for our hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi! We’ve had so many other travelers ask us about Tupelo or “What is there to see besides Elvis’ house?” I finally sat down and wrote out exactly what I would recommend to visitors to really get a feel for what […]
