Looking for a fun place to spend a night or a long layover at New York's JFK Airport? ✈️

Check out The TWA Hotel in Terminal 5- once an active TWA flight terminal and now a gleaming hotel! ✨

This jetway to the past and Trans World Airline's golden age of flight features modern guest rooms, original 1960s architecture, a rooftop pool overlooking an active runway, and more! The unique concept has preserved all of the glitz of the "golden age of flight" - (but left the onboard smoking in the past.)

Check out my review and catch up on the history of this incredible structure that once saw scores of passengers, celebrities and even popes arrive and depart for the 1960s most exciting new way to travel- by air! 🛫

Want to stand on top of a mountain without having to be a "serious" hiker?? It can be done and Mt. Rainier is the place! 🏔

Check out my day-trip up Mt. Rainier as a "non-serious" hiker and the incredible view from the top! Hint: it's easier if you drive most of the way up. 😊

Full experience on the blog now.
Enjoy the view!

Wait- What exactly IS Boxing Day?

It's definitely NOT a day for half-naked men to bop back and forth punching each other with red gloves in the cold back alleys of Victorian London... it's not that kind of boxing.

Check out my (brief!) history of Boxing Day to FINALLY discover what this traditional British day after Christmas is all about.
