    3 Day Trip Ideas from Huntsville AL

    While in Huntsville, we would recommend getting out of the city and driving 1 hour east to get to Alabama Caverns State Park and to Scottsboro, AL. These are excellent day trips from Huntsville AL and are a very quick drive away. If you need more information on what we did on our trip to Huntsville, check out our other posts below: Cathedral Caverns State Park Is Cathedral Caverns State Park Worth It?  It is a quick and easy drive from Huntsville to Cathedral Caverns State Park. There are plenty of signs on the road to direct you to this tourist attraction.  The state park’s highlight is its cave tour. If…

    Bunker Hill Hotel St Thomas: Budget Hotel Review

    If you are going to St Thomas on vacation, you are spoiled for choice on which hotels to stay in. Do I want to stay beachfront? On the city? Can I travel hack my hotel? What is the most economical choice to stay in?  Bunker Hill Hotel: A Budget Choice in Charlotte Amalie My husband and I narrowed down our hotel choice to be within the Charlotte Amalie area. We wanted a place that’s great value for money while also accessible to public transportation.  The bigger, waterfront hotels are spread out on the north or east side of the island and may not exactly have the public transportation options we…

    Why We Travel: Experiences and Thoughts

    Why do we travel? On a searing July morning earlier this year, me, Ruby, my brother, and two other friends, drove through a stunning mountain road in North Carolina called the Blue Ridge Parkway.  We climbed higher and higher and saw some incredible sights of the Pisgah National Forest as well as the Smoky Mountains on the horizon.  It was humbling to stand there in the middle of such simple beauty and dare I say it was a morning that I will remember for a long time. Later that same day, on the same Blue Ridge Parkway, I attempted to reverse our rental car (I was the only one inside…
