Exhausted from our Montenegro to Croatia travels, Friday night we settled on a quick dinner and dessert and then immediately to bed. I've decided I'm a two, better yet three-gelato-a-day kind of girl. The gelato spot we found in Split, Gelateria Emiliana, has THE best gelato I've ever tasted and honestly probably ruined all other…

Split, Croatia & Montenegro
We arrived in Croatia in the morning and couldn’t check into our air bnb until noon. Croatia is Scott’s favorite place in Europe, I’ve heard him rave about it for years, so I was really excited to finally get to check it out. My first impression was that their airport was a million times better…
Santorini, Greece
A quick little post about the most overrated place in Greece (or at least we think so). Santorini is a Greek island that mainly became popular because of social media. It is the most picturesque place if you want the traditional look of white and blue houses in Greece. However, overtourism is a real thing…
Paros, Greece
After having a bit too much time in Spain and Portugal we think we found the sweet spot of time in a place when we went to Greece. 48 hours in Athens was near perfect, and four days in Paros was perfect. We found that we got just enough of the island without getting bored…
Athens, Greece
What a whirlwind of less than 48 hours in Athens we had! It was fantastic to say the least. Our flight leaving Barcelona was incredibly delayed, we didn’t end up leaving until 2:30am and then getting into Athens at 6am. When it was all said and done, we ended up at our air bnb around…
Barcelona Part #2
Our last two days in Barcelona were pretty standard for us, beach time and good food. We were able to go to La Sagrada Familia on Friday, which was spectacular. The largest church I have ever seen and still in construction. Gaudi, the designer, died almost a century ago, only having finished the base and…
Barcelona Part #1
We are just finishing our third day in Barcelona and I have to say it might be another one of my favorite European cities, next to Portugal. Scott has been here before so he knows what to expect, but Europe has been a completely new experience for me. Barcelona reminds me a lot of Hawaii…
Portugal Part #2
Well, we got a little behind posting again... I want to say it was because we were so busy in Portugal, but really we just got lazy. This time I promise we will be more diligent about posting every few days. We talked a lot about trying to make this blog more than just a…
