Read MoreWe’ve been to Vegas a few times, and each time we go, there is always something new on the Strip to check out. This time, it was an immersive exhibit called the Arte Museum.
Read MoreOpened in 1934, Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada. Only an hour’s drive outside of Las Vegas, there’s enough here for a full day trip.
Read MoreHilo is one of the oldest ports and contains the second largest population in Hawaii. It's a city that peaked during the height of sugar cane, and has since settled into a place of peaceful parks and quiet neighborhoods with metal-roofed houses.
Read MoreOnto the Big Island (a.k.a. Hawaii) and charming little Kailua-Kona with the laid back island vibe. Indulge in locally grown Kona coffee while strolling around Kailua Village. Keep an eye out for signs that point to interesting sights, both historic and modern.
Read MoreMaui is the second largest Hawaiian island, but is not very densely populated leaving most of the island home to rain forests, beaches, and Haleakala, the world's largest dormant volcano. Maui's main city is called Lahaina situated on the western side of the island. It's a pretty little place, formerly the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom and often called "the jewel in the crown of Maui". With only one main street, it is completely walkable in an afternoon and full of boutique shopping and eateries.
Read MoreSituated on the southeast tip of O'ahu island, Honolulu carries a lot of reputation on its shore-hugging shoulders. Nicknamed "The Big Pineapple", Honolulu holds the titles of "capital city" and "largest city" in Hawaii. Make no mistake, this is no small, sleepy island town.

Read MoreWe've been to Vegas quite a few times now. The lights, the bustle, and the hustle never seem to change, even if the skyline does have a few new additions since our last visit. This time around, we sought out some corners we that hadn't seen, and we even found a few "secret" ones too.
Read MoreDowntown Las Vegas is going through a revitalization with tons of street art, fun tours, and interesting museums. One such museum we visited was the Neon Boneyard, the final resting place (or rescue place) of neon-lit wonders. About 2 acres in size, although not all open to the public, it is a fascinating conglomeration of sharp broken glass and beautiful rusty memories.
Read MoreThe afternoons in Vegas can be a hot pavement slog, so we decided to enjoy the air-conditioning and cheaper brunch pricing ($28 vs $42 for dinner) at the Wicked Spoon buffet in the Cosmopolitan hotel. The big thing here is small morsels of gourmet food. It definitely wasn't the cheapest meal we had in Vegas (that accolade goes to Ellis Island Casino and their "secret" $7.99 steak and eggs breakfast), but there were some unique dishes and desserts that made it a fun and way-to-filling dining experience.
Read MoreThe Grand Canyon is a long meandering maw that splits the desert by over a kilometre and a half deep and 16 kilometres wide. Known to be one of the deepest gorges on the planet, it's no wonder that the Grand Canyon is listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and also makes it the perfect destination for our very first helicopter ride.
