Yellowstone is at its best at the end of August and early September. The crowds have left and the park is starting to shut down. You are able to see the amazing sites and animals without the craziness of the crowds. 

• Mammoth Hot Springs – Terraced limestone formations with surreal colors.

• Lamar Valley – Prime spot for wildlife viewing (bison, elk, wolves).

• Tower Fall – A scenic waterfall framed by volcanic rock

• 🛏️ Stay near Gardiner or Canyon Village.

• Norris Geyser Basin – Home to Steamboat Geyser, the world’s tallest.
• Grand Prismatic Spring – A rainbow-colored hot spring.
• Old Faithful & Upper Geyser Basin – Watch eruptions and explore nearby geysers.
• 🛏️ Stay in West Yellowstone or Old Faithful area.

 I call Steamboat the "perfect Colorado summer destination". Between Strawberry Park Hot Springs, farmers markets, outdoor concerts, floating on the Yampah River and hiking the amazing hills your heart feels full. 

• Hiking & Biking: Trails like Fish Creek Falls and Emerald Mountain offer stunning views and cool forest shade.

• Water Adventures: Float, kayak, or paddleboard down the Yampa River. It’s refreshing and scenic.

• Hot Air Ballooning: Catch sunrise from the sky with panoramic views of the valley

• Strawberry Park Hot Springs: Soak in natural mineral pools surrounded by forest—pure bliss.

• Yampa River Botanic Park: A peaceful oasis with vibrant flowers and walking paths
  
  

 I love cruising! It is economical, exciting and a great vacation for a variety of people. 

• No need to juggle flights, hotels, or transportation between islands. Once you're onboard, everything is taken care of—meals, entertainment, lodging, and logistics.
• Visit several islands in one vacation—think Barcelona, Cordsica, Marseille and Rome —all without repacking your suitcase.
• Cruises offer gourmet dining, pools, spas, live shows, and even private island stops. You can sip cocktails on deck while watching the sunset, then catch a Broadway-style show after dinner.

 Music is just one reason to go to Nashville. You have festivals, history, sports, amazing food and a National Speedway.

• Known as Music City, Nashville offers performances on nearly every corner—from legendary venues like the Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry to intimate bars and street corners. And it’s not just country—rock, blues, indie, and gospel all have a home here.
• Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, Johnny Cash Museum, or stroll through Centennial Park with its full-scale replica of the Parthenon. Nashville blends deep history with modern creativity.

If a vibrant warm destination is calling your name, the Florida Keys will answer. The laid-back vibe will fuel your soul as you watch the gorgeous sunsets, relax on the beach, go deep water fishing, dance the night away or explore the many interesting sites of the area.

• With over 1,700 islands in the archipelago, you can explore everything from the coral reefs of Key Largo to the quirky charm of Key West. The Overseas Highway, with its 42 bridges, makes the drive itself a scenic highlight.
• Home to the third-largest barrier reef in the world, the Keys are a haven for underwater explorers. Dive into John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park or take a glass-bottom boat tour to see vibrant marine life.
• The Keys embrace a slower pace. In Key West, locals and visitors gather nightly at Mallory Square for street performances and sunset celebrations. It’s a ritual that feels like a warm hug from the tropics.

Costa Rica is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers, offering stunning biodiversity, beautiful beaches, and a commitment to sustainability. Costa Rica has become an increasingly popular destination in recent years. The Central American country is famous for its incredible national parks and is a dream destination for animal lovers. There's no better place to go than a pristine beach resort or the hip foodie city of San José. You can lounge on the beach, get a massage, go swimming and surfing, or relax in a geothermal pool, all in one vacation. 

Italy bursts into color with wildflowers, cherry blossoms, and lush green landscapes. From the poppy fields in Tuscany to the gardens of Rome, spring is a visual feast.

Spring in Japan is pure poetry—fleeting, beautiful, and deeply cultural. The Cherry Blossom season has begun, and the weather is mild and fresh.
