Plenty of Peace in Exuma, Bahamas
We finally had that desperately needed getaway to the Bahamas. We haven’t really gone anywhere for the last 2 years and the chance to finally flee was a blessing. We chose to runaway to George Town in the Exumas. The long island chain only 50 miles from the Tropic of Cancer is the perfect isolated […]
How to know where to go?
I had a conversation with my brother and we were talking about how the inability to travel due to COVID-19. We don’t want to travel because we do not want to be hypocrites. We both have been preaching the idea of being responsible during this pandemic and are refused to set a bad example. The […]
Local’s Getaway: Hull Bay Beach
Hull Bay Beach is located on the north shore of the island of St. Thomas and is a wonderful place to get away from the crowds of places of Magens Bay or Coki Beach. If you decide to go to this out-of-the way beach you can’t count on a cheap trip via safari bus. You’ve […]
Our Apartment In Florence
We mentioned in a previous post that our romantic plans of checking into what we’ve called “our room” at the Pendini Hotel in Florence, where we’ve stayed each time we visited the city, were scuttled by lack of availability even four months out. The inability to spend the week in a room that had been […]
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 […]
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 […]
Come Fly With Me…
I don’t think anyone said it better than Sinatra. If anyone’s voice evokes a sense of the golden age of air travel it’s Old Blue Eyes. I’m not just limiting that feeling of nostalgia to one song, either. Sinatra recorded an entire album of songs dedicated to travel (and associated pursuits like finding some exotic […]
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 […]
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, […]
