In order to be the first group off the boat, we ordered early bird room service breakfast and got up and out of the cruise ship by 6AM. Our driver and tour guide were waiting for us inside the cruise terminal with my name on a sign. Easy peasy! I found this particular tour guide company, Read Post >
Lufthansa Lounge Frankfurt, Germany
After a slight delay in Washington Dulles Airport, our flight was ready to board and depart for Frankfurt, Germany. During the initial boarding process, an announcement informed all passengers of a climate control problem on the aircraft. The plane was over 90 degrees so we would have to wait until the air conditioning kicked in Read Post >
A Quick Buzz Through Bulgaria
After a sleepless night of brainstorming Plan A-Z, we booked flights on Turkish Airlines to Varna, Bulgaria. When you miss the ship, you need to pick it up at the next stop or port which in our case was Burgas. But alas, Burgas sold out so we booked flights to Varna a.k.a. the second stop/port. Read Post >
An Adventure to Ayutthaya
On Day 2 of Thailand, we decided to head north to the historic city of Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya is a UNESCO World Heritage Site–and for good reason!

Benny’s On The Beach
For me, finding a fantastic restaurant on the waterfront in a beach town is not always an easy task. A lot of beach towns cater towards tourists so the quality of the food and service is disappointing. It is understandable how the location outweighs the price and quality of everything else. Well, folks, this is Read Post >

A Marathon Day in Delhi
Dense fog closed down the airport in New Delhi and our flight from Udaipur was canceled. Our only option was to make the trip by car…a two-day, exhausting journey. We had to condense our Delhi sightseeing from two days into one, so we did our best to pack in all of the important world heritage Read Post >
A Day Trip from Bangalore to Mysore
It was a long, bumpy, three-hour car ride each way to Mysore from Bangalore, but it was totally worth it. Unfortunately, there were strict no-photo policies inside most of the attractions…Mostly because they want to sell you photos in the gift shops. Here is a quick post of what we saw on our day trip.

Ajanta Caves Near Aurangabad
Good morning 3AM! We planned on leaving Mumbai by 4AM in order to arrive at the Ajanta Caves for a full day of exploration.

After a full day of flying, we made it to Mumbai, India! The trip from Indonesia to India took a full day of flying including one stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As soon as we retrieved our checked luggage, we headed over to the pre-paid taxi stand to get a taxi to the hotel–which was Read Post >
