Top 3 Things to do in Prague, Czech Republic

Prague, Czech Republic is a city rich with unique history, and having only really existed as it's current independently ruled country for about the last 30 years, is quite a treat to visit. (Previously it was Czechoslovakia under Communist rule and several others in the centuries prior.) We spent several days here and loved how compact and easy it was to get around with public transportation. It was easy to hit the highlights and do a bit extra with our time to really get a feel for the city.

Walking Tour

Since Prague structures date back to Medieval times, the streets of Old Town can be a little confusing at first glance. A walking tour will give you a good orientation and touch on some of the many highlights such as the astronomical clock and the old Jewish quarter. A great tour guide will also guide you through the historical changes of power throughout the city and show important locations on the path to the Czech Republic's independence. Our tour left us by the famous Charles Bridge which you could walk over to head towards Prague Castle.

Prague Castle

Prague Castle was built in the 9th century and is a beautiful sprawling complex with much to see and do. It is the seat of the head of state and houses many artifacts important to the Czech Republic. If you are planning to really explore it all, give yourself plenty of time as entry into the ticketed areas typically runs with normal business hours.

Letna Park

Letna Park is easily accessible by public transportation and is a popular spot for locals to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. You can take a funicular up to the top (which we recommend) where there is a lookout tower and a mirror maze. As you head back down, you are transported into a lush forest with many walking paths where you will see many runners, hikers and bikers. If you continue on, you will get to beautiful lookout spots with a great perspective of the city below.

Bonus: Eat Like a Local

While there's not a ton of food that immediately comes to mind when you think "Prague" there is still certainly plenty to give a try while you're here. The "chimney cake" is a favorite sweet and can be found at little shops all around the tourist areas. There are also plenty of Czech cuisine restaurants around to give more traditional savory dishes a try as well.

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, the agents rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. We received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children. We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view! We arrived to a welcome basket of various fr...

The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian: Studios of Big Pine Key

I didn't think Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa could get any grander, but then I stayed in one of their Resort Studio rooms. These are the newest rooms at The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The Resort Studio rooms are located in the Big Pine Key building which is very close to the main building. The location makes it very convenient to get to the dining options and transportation. Not only is the building close to the main building but it's also across from the Courtyard Pool and Courtyard Pool Bar. Resort Studio rooms are located in the Big Pine Key building When you enter Big Pine Key, you're greeted with a simply lovely lobby. The furniture is super cute and gives off a very cozy, chic vibe. There's lots of pastel colors with floral prints and touches of nature. Lobby seating area in the Big Pine Key building The chic, nature inspired vibe continues down the hallways and into the Resort Studio rooms. I couldn't love these r...

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
