A Wet and Wild White Water Weekend
We woke up last weekend in need of a distraction from the stress of the workweek (yes, this has been a theme lately). With a few quick phone calls we had reservations for a white water rafting tour in nearby Ohiopyle, PA. We had just enough time to throw on some river-worthy clothes and shoes […]
When Words Fail
I have tried to start this post several times, attempting to find an elegant way to talk about such an inelegant thing as the attack in Nice this past Thursday. I thought I’d just be analytical and explain how tourism in Europe, especially France, has fallen 13% as people have stayed away. I thought I’d talk about how terror won’t […]
Pittsburgh 200: A Celebration of a Milestone
The land that would become the city of Pittsburgh was first occupied by European fur traders in 1717. The confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers became a vital trade and communications route between Quebec and French Louisiana. The Seven Years War (French and Indian War) lead to a succession of forts built by both French […]
A Trip to See the Planets
I will admit for all my love of space and science, we’ve never been to a proper observatory before. We’ve been to planetariums and looked through telescopes at the heavens, but had never been to an actual observatory. It was a struggle for me not to rush out the door when we found out that the […]
The Greeks
We live to explore here at No Kids, Will Travel. Amanda and I always want to soak up some of the culture of a place we visit. We usually do that by visiting a museum or an archaeological park or taking a walking tour. We visit the past as often as we can because it’s one […]
Disconnecting to Reconnect
The last few weeks have been filled with work stress for one of us here at No Kids, Will Travel. We felt the need to do something different that would force two social media professionals to unplug for at least an hour or two. So, last Saturday after a night of tossing and turning because […]
Pride, In the Name of Love
Back in 1969 as Neil Armstrong was taking a first step for man and a giant leap for mankind, Craig Rodwell, Fred Sargant , Ellen Birody, and Linda Rhodes took their own first step, and made a giant leap for LGBT communities everywhere. The group at the Eastern Regional Conference of Homophile Organizations meeting in […]
Making Time for the City Frozen in It
We are only four months from our anniversary trip to Italy and we thought we’d share one of the pieces from our itinerary. We’ve tried to incorporate a visit to Pompeii on our previous visits to satisfy our love of history. The time and distance of Naples (Pompeii) from our beloved Tuscany has always become an […]
A Traveling Toyland
We all had a favorite childhood toy growing up, whether it was a stuffed bear, doll, or action figure. The thoughts of the moments we shared with our inanimate friend warm our heart even now that we are older. We look back at the toys from our childhood in the 50s, 60s and 70s (and for […]
Saint John USVI: Affordable Luxury?
When you think of Saint John you think of idyllic landscapes, crystal clear water, an amazing Caribbean paradise and . . . that it’s expensive, really expensive. We at No Kids, Will Travel have taken that as a challenge, a challenge to find places to stay on a budget. Here we go… Cruz Bay Boutique […]
