Dean’s cousin and wife took us all around Liverpool yesterday: the gorgeous Liverpool Cathedral and Albert Dock. According to Wikipedia, Albert Dock is the most visited multi-use attraction in the UK outside of London. It’s like Jack London Square or…
Best Ever Day Trip to Half Moon Bay
We spent Thanksgiving locally here in the Bay Area. The following day I volunteered at my high school’s homecoming event. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was itching to get out of town. I spent Saturday night researching places…
Animal Farm
The #1 reason I picked Roatan to vacation is for the plethora of wildlife. I’ve wanted to take Dean to the Galapagos, which rates high on my list of travel destinations, and also to erase the fact that I went…

NYC Day 3
When in Rome… I’m not one of those travelers who disses popular attractions because they’re too touristy. There’s a reason why people are flocking to those sites. It’s because they’re amazing (Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, the Sistine Chapel). But there’s…
