A Burger Worth Waiting For…
Amanda has been waiting for this moment for months, ever since winter set in here in the Allegheny Mountains (and no it’s not spring). Well, spring is one of them, but the other is a day that’s warm enough for an evening walk to Market Square in Pittsburgh and the best burgers the Steel City […]
News in the Air
Lufthansa Links You to Your Bag One of my favorite airlines just got better by finally giving me the same ability to track my bag that we expect from our latest shipment of shoes from Zappos. Lufthansa has officially unveiled its digital luggage service. You can now use the Lufthansa app on your mobile device […]
It Takes Time
When it comes to travel, sometimes getting where you want to go is half the battle. Six years ago when we took our first trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, it was easy to find a direct flight (to Cancun, at least, which is about a 45 minute drive from Playa). This year we struggled […]
You Can’t Control the Weather…
When you think of the Mexican Riveria you often think of 80-degree sun-filled days with the occasional lazy shower bringing just enough rain cool off the sand. The reality can be a little different. I’m not saying the weather was cold; we live in Pittsburgh, we know cold. The weather felt very comfortable, though the […]
It Doesn’t Have to Be Mexican to Be Good
I know we’ve talked a lot about getting to know the local communities when you travel. We do believe that you should take some time to walk around the town with your eyes and ears open to get a feeling for what makes the town tick. The key to that is to avoid being stuck in […]
Taxi Cab Confessional
I was raised in a union household. My father was a teacher for 30 years and a union member the entire time. He is still active in the union in his retirement. My mother has worked for a teachers union for more than 20 years. I am a union member as well. But don’t worry, […]
The Art of the Carry-On
We here at No Kids like to think we have mastered the art of the carry-on. We know there are those who hear our words of advocacy and will never know its truth, but we promise the word of the carry-on is less is more. More time, less hassle, fewer fees. I can’t remember the last time we went […]
Flying Rights
I know we touched on this topic a bit last year in our post A Flying First as we described some of the pitfalls of air travel in the winter months. This weekend’s blizzard on the east coast of the U.S. led to the cancellation of thousands of flights and the complete closure of some airports, […]
A Tale of Tastes
We talk a lot about getting an authentic travel experience by getting to know the places and people of the culture we’re visiting, but we don’t always live up to that standard. The biggest example for me is food. I like what I like and there isn’t much else to say. Still, I’m willing to try anything, […]
New Year’s Confession
I am going to admit this right off the bat, I’m kind of phoning this post in. The year has been a long one and I’m exhausted and need a little bit of a mental break. We had a typical New Year’s Eve, for us anyway. I got home after a long day at work, watched […]
