A First-Timer’s Guide to Mexico City’s Iconic Anthropology Museum

A First-Timer’s Guide to Mexico City’s Iconic Anthropology Museum

The Anthropology Museum in Mexico City is an absolute icon for presenting Mexico’s prehistoric and ancient history. This place is massive, and you must visit when you are traveling in Mexico City. It’s easily one of the most comprehensive museums of human history of the area I have ever been to, and following are my tips for enjoying it. First, this place is huge. There are two floors of exhibits in an absolutely massive building on the northern side of…

Wizard of Oz at the Sphere Las Vegas: Is This Pricey Experience Worth the Splurge?

Wizard of Oz at the Sphere Las Vegas: Is This Pricey Experience Worth the Splurge?

We recently were in Las Vegas at the beginning of September, 2025, with our two oldest who had both turned 21 in the last few years for their big birthday trip. They both really wanted to check out The Sphere, and the reimagined Wizard of Oz had just opened about a week prior to our visit with mainly good reviews. I purchased tickets about a month in advance, and they were not cheap. For the 200 level, just off to…

Guide to Visiting Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City: Tickets, History, and Views

Guide to Visiting Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City: Tickets, History, and Views

There are about a thousand museums in Mexico City to visit, and it’s really tough to narrow down where to go, especially if your time is limited. Typically, I would recommend focusing on places near where you’re staying. The first time we came to this incredible city, we stayed in the historic center, so we walked around the Zocalo, the Cathedral, and other landmarks within this area. We loved our tour through WithLocals, and I would highly recommend it! This…

Visiting Casa Azul: The Frida Kahlo Museum Every Art Lover Must See in Mexico City

Visiting Casa Azul: The Frida Kahlo Museum Every Art Lover Must See in Mexico City

The Frida Kahlo Museum, or Casa Azul, is a must-visit stop for any art lover in Mexico City. It’s a bit out of the way in the Coyoacan neighborhood, but the excursion is worth the effort, especially if you come here on a Saturday when the Artist Bazaar is going on in San Angel. Tickets to the Museum are sold in advance, and they do sell out, so I highly recommend purchasing well before your trip. If you are going…

World Class and Wonderfully Free: Visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art

World Class and Wonderfully Free: Visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art

We first visited the Cleveland Museum of Art a few years ago, when we started on our Caravaggio hunting journey. We went for the singular purpose of viewing their Caravaggio piece – the epic “Martyrdom of St. Andrew”. You can check out our Caravaggio painting search status here. Also check out our new not-for-profit venture, The Baroque Art Accessibility Consortium, where you can find cool itineraries for various museums around the world, and fun facts about different baroque artists and…

Why the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame is Worth the Trip to Cleveland

Why the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame is Worth the Trip to Cleveland

No trip to Cleveland would be complete without a visit to the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame. In fact, many come to Cleveland as a pilgrimage to these hallowed grounds, and you’d be hard pressed to find more music artifacts in one place, anywhere. We visited with our family in late June of 2025. On our second visit here, we were amazed at how the exhibits change somewhat regularly, marveled at some of the newer movies you could watch,…

The Ultimate Rosewood Little Dix Bay Perk: Free Beach Drops & Snorkeling Around Virgin Gorda

One of the most amazing perks that you get while staying at Rosewood Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands, are complimentary beach drops around the island. This is a great (and free!) way to explore Virgin Gorda, and it’s definitely worth checking out. They also offer complimentary daily snorkeling trips around the island, which is another great way to see other parts of the island, including The Baths! The resort is quite flexible when it comes to…

Sailing The BVI In Style: Why Bowline Yachts Is The Best Day Sail From Virgin Gorda

Sailing The BVI In Style: Why Bowline Yachts Is The Best Day Sail From Virgin Gorda

While staying in the British Virgin Islands, I knew I wanted to treat the family to a full day sailing around the islands. We had a similar outing in Malta, and it was easily one of the best days of that trip. Rosewood Little Dix Bay recommends two different outfits for a day sail, one being a catamaran (which you see all over the place down here), and one is a truly legit sailboat. I had originally attempted to book…

Discover Doria Pamphilij Gallery: Rome’s Quiet Treasure of Baroque Splendor

Discover Doria Pamphilij Gallery: Rome’s Quiet Treasure of Baroque Splendor

The Doria Pamphilij Gallery is a bit of an under-the-radar spot for some epic art viewing, but if you want to be impressed with a super fancy villa that’s in really great shape in the heart of Rome, that has literally piles of art adorning every single square inch of every wall, definitely come here. You can easily buy tickets in advance, and I usually recommend doing so, although this gallery is not as busy as most others in Rome,…
