It’s been a few years but the time had finally come to visit our family in New Jersey once again! When booking this trip we tried (as we always do) to find somewhere for a stop over in order to break the trip up. However, we weren’t able to find …
Suz and I both love visiting New York City and every time we visit family in New Jersey we always try to make at least a few trips into the big city. On this trip I went in on my own for the first visit, I had organised to have …
We’re back in Hawaii… and this time we have found the perfect place! To break up a long flight we once again decided to stop for a few days in Hawaii, and this time on the island of Kauai. Our flight from New York to Honolulu went without any problems …

Grand Canyon…. originally we planned to rent a car in Las Vegas, drive to the Grand Canyon and then spend a night or two at the South Rim. After calculating the costs for the rental, accomodation, food, petrol and the time it would take for a return trip from Vegas …
Our flight from Hawaii to mainland USA was ok but in no way good, we flew with United airlines again which I had swore to avoid like the plague. This airline doesn’t serve food on their domestic flights (nevermind the fact that we are flying for 5 hours) and the …
