Coping with Travel Troubles
Whether you’re setting off for the adventure of a lifetime or hitting the highway for a quick trip, there’s always a chance things won’t go quite as planned. In the course of our travels we’ve come up against everything from flight delays and lost luggage to bus and ferry schedules that are treated more like […]
A Revolutionary 4th
The 4th of July, (a big holiday for us Americans), was on Friday and had me thinking about a trip down a revolutionary road of American history. So, let’s start off by journeying 22 miles outside of Boston, MA to Minute Man National Park, the home of the first battles of the American Revolution against British rule. […]
Catching a Train to Chicago
I love our apartment in Pittsburgh. I love the proximity to downtown, I love the view of the skyline, I love the distance to PNC Park, I love being able to watch the boaters on the Allegheny, I even love the sound of the trains rolling by from parts unknown across the nearby bridge and […]
Traveling Healthy
When you go on a trip to a new an exotic place you’ll spend some time picking out that unique keepsake to take home with you: a bracelet, a t-shirt, a shot glass, a artisan-crafted wood bowl. All fine choices, but what you don’t want to bring home is measles, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or polio. […]
A Painful Lesson
Last week we talked about a trip to Florida in Baseball Binge. My father thought it was a good idea, so he asked me, like always, to book him some tickets for a trip. I got the information from him over the phone and wrote it down. Then I followed up with him in person to […]
Oh My Holy Lands
You know we don’t use the term bucket list around here at No Kids, Will Travel. We live with the philosophy that you don’t wait, you just go. Even so, we understand waiting is probably a good idea sometimes. For years I have wanted to visit the Holy Land. I am (for the most part) […]
$50
I recently came a cross a travel book in my neighborhood book shop Curious Iguana that said right on the cover “How to travel the world on $50 a day” and let me tell you my skepticism was was sent into high gear. I just had to pick it up and give it a good […]
A Short Stay in the Eternal City
When we hear someone speak of Rome the name alone evokes imagery of togas, Gladiators, pasta and more than 2,800 years of history. It’s called the Eternal City for a reason, and with all that history there are plenty of highlights to fill any trip. I have a short list based on a 2-day time […]
The Cost of Our African Safari
We knew our safari in Tanzania would be a trip of a lifetime, and it was. We also knew it would cost us a lot more than our typical getaway, and it did. Was it worth it? Hell yeah. Would we do it again? In a heartbeat. That said, we thought others who share our […]
A Visit to Venice
It was mentioned to me in passing recently that my post were a little heavy on the Hellanism (Greece). So in this post we’ll take a look at Venice, Italy and best bets when visiting the city. I would first like to explain if you are just visiting Earth from a far-off planet (welcome!), the […]
