Day 3: Saqsaywaman, Q’enco, Temple of the Moon I woke up at 6 today in order to make it to Saqsaywaman when it opened at 7. It was supposedly a 40-minute walk, but it felt like forever, and it probably took me closer to an hour, hehe. I began my journey and quickly realized IContinue reading “Around Cusco”

6:00 AM wake-up time for the all-day tour into the Sacred Valley! There are 5 major points of interest we’re about to tackle in a day’s work. Herrrrrreeee we go! Haha Stop 1: Chinchero Inhabited since before the Inca, but made famous by the Inca king Túpac Yupanqui, who decided to construct his home inContinue reading “Sacred Valley Tour”

I am so excited to be back traveling, and this time, the chosen place is Peru 🇵🇪! I’ll be doing the typical attractions, and my highlight will be the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu! I’ve given myself 3 days in Cusco to acclimate to the altitude, so hopefully I’ll be ready to face the challengesContinue reading “Peru Adventure Time!”

Day 7:  Today we’d be embracing yet another difficult hike…much less than Haleakalā, but a challenging, steep, 2-mile uphill incline. Hehe. But, before we do much, we stop by Maui Coffee Roasters for some coffee and some breakfast. We’ll need our energy for the Waihe’e Ridge hike. This hike boasts magical views of the ’ĪaoContinue reading “We’ll miss you, Maui!”

Day 4: Slow morning for Amelia today…I think I’m still on East Coast time, waking up pretty early, hehe. I played around on my phone for a while, read a little in a book I bought about Hawaii, and was about to start catching up on Netflix shows when Tony began to stir.  We hadContinue reading “Haleakalā”

After 6 long years, I am finally back on my way to Hawaii with Tony. I can’t believe it’s been so long since leaving LA and, in consequence, leaving the beautiful 24-hour layovers in Hawaii. My favorite then was Lihue (Kauai), but Maui is Tony’s favorite, as well as another dear friend of mine. I’mContinue reading “Maui Bound”

Our next adventure takes us to Dublin! I can’t wait for a fresh Guinness! Haha As we’re getting ready to leave the hotel, the elevator doors open, and we see my friend, Josie, getting ready to head up the elevator we were getting out of! We had no idea the other would be in DublinContinue reading “Dublin with Heather :)”

Heather and I are back it! And this time we’re set to explore Lisbon! 🤗 The timing of this trip was a bit different, and we were slotted to arrive around 11am. We had a nice bit of a delay on deplaning, so we got to the hotel around noon or just after. And ofContinue reading “24 Hours in Lisboa”

It’s here! The first work trip that I have brought somebody with me! Hehe. Heather is super excited to join me, and I can’t wait to see all that we accomplish together! Heather is a super planner and has a mental map of Amsterdam already, and basically has our entire day planned for sightseeing. Perfect! Continue reading “A Day in Amsterdam :)”

Friday: 1:30 AM wake-up call. Yep. The story of the “non-rev” life: aiming for the first flight of the day, and if not, having all day to make hopeful attempts for any and all subsequent flights. This would be my friend Heather’s first time traveling standby, and first time to New Orleans! So, not evenContinue reading “A Weekend in New Orleans”
