Our @vikingcruises Mediterranean ocean cruise itin Our @vikingcruises Mediterranean ocean cruise itinerary included a day at port in Monaco. We had several choices of included and optional shore excursions in Monaco and other locations along the French Riviera. It was a tough decision, but we chose to stay in Monaco and visit two of its four districts — taking the included walking tour of the old town of Monaco City, and then spending time on our own in neighboring Monte Carlo.

Madrid in three days — how we saw the city I was Madrid in three days — how we saw the city I was enchanted with Madrid the first time I visited several years ago and even more so on this second visit. Along with the great sights to see and things to do in Madrid, the balmy early fall weather added to the allure. Many things make Madrid special for me and I hope you’ll have the chance to be enchanted by the capital city of Spain, too. Based on our stay, we’ve got recommendations for best things to do in Madrid in three days.

Although we’d been to Zion National Park in Utah Although we’d been to Zion National Park in Utah twice before, it had been a long time since the last visit — too long! So we planned a short trip to go there following a Las Vegas weekend with friends in early December. Zion and many national parks are wonderful any time of year, but visiting off-peak season will let you avoid any crowds while enjoying many of the same beautiful scenes and activities. In our latest blog post, we share about our hiking experiences and our stay at Zion Lodge during a two-night stay.
