London Highlights

London, England is absolutely one of my favorite cities to explore and spend time in.  There is so much to see and do, but also just great atmosphere to sit back and take it slow.  You can plan a trip here on its own or as a stopping point on your way to other European destinations since American Airlines and British Airlines have a partnership, there are often direct flights or flights that layover here.  I've spent a week here and seen how much I could accomplish on a 24 hour layover, while very different experiences - both great trips and options. Here are a few of my favorite things to do or see in London.  This is not an exhaustive list, there's so much to see and do here!  City Highlights On one afternoon walk you can stroll past Buckingham Palace, see Big Ben, take in the atmosphere at Trafalgar Square and of course find a red phone booth! Me and my family in front of Buckingham Palace Big Ben Museums Like many big cities, London is rich with arts and culture, with a bou

Top 10 Must Do's at Epcot

On October 1, 1982, Epcot opened as the second park in Walt Disney World. The park spans over 300 acres and has four distinct areas: World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature and World Showcase. World Celebration, World Discovery and World Nature feature attractions that embrace a global community, technological innovations, and our incredible planet. World Showcase is home to pavilions representing 11 countries: Canada, United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, the United States, Italy, Germany, China, Norway and Mexico. Epcot is an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.  Although Walt Disney's original concept for Epcot didn't come to life, the park embraces his idea of ingenuity and imagination.  The park offers a unique experience of being educational and entertaining.  It's a hard task to accomplish but I think Disney does it well!  Here's my list of the top ten Must Do's at Epcot.  10.

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

Our Top Table Service Dining Choices at Universal CityWalk

Universal's CityWalk is a dining, shopping and entertainment area with so many options.  Where to begin?  The Kingdom Konsultant agents have been busy trying the options for you to help give you an idea of what to expect and maybe narrow some things down.  All of these restaurants are quite popular and reservations are recommended.  3. Bigfire Bigfire is going to be your more upscale/fine dining option at Universal CityWalk.  The décor is modern and features an open kitchen, the bar serves up craft cocktails and the menu features wood-fired dishes.  All of the food we tried here was delicious and the prices felt reasonable for the quality of food we tried.  If you want a nicer meal, definitely check out Bigfire (but if you show up in theme park clothes, you will be just fine too!).

The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar This is simply one of my favorite places to eat.  Burgers please the pickiest eaters while sushi fans will rejoice at the selection.  For

Top 5 Things to Do in Munich, Germany

Munich, Germany is a city rebuilt after war that takes pride in the cultural heritage of the region.  With so much going on since it's a big city, it can be hard to pick what to do and prioritize on your visit there.  There are palaces, a wide variety of museums, day trips and of course lots of local food and culture to experience. We've compiled this list of some of our highlights to help get you started planning your journey to this amazing place. Walking Tour I personally love to start my visit to a new city with a walking tour, it helps me get the lay of the land and see a few highlights before diving deeper into any particular area of interest.
