The Canadian Prestige Journey
The rail line allows you to customize your trip, lengthen the time you stay at different stops if you want, and take time to explore the stops along the journey. Banff and Lake Louise are high on my to-visit list.

Touring Jane Austen's Haunts
Whether where the author lived in her real life or the places where her fictional characters called home, I'd love to take a big Jane Austen-focused trip to the UK.
Jane Austen called Bath home from 1801 to 1806, and Persuasion, a novel which heavily features the town as a fashionable spa city is one of my favorite of her books. I love that it shows a more mature, time-tested love in the main characters' relatio...

Trekking Through Middle Earth, err, New Zealand
I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, only heightened by the beauty of the natural landscape of New Zealand, where Peter Jackson's masterpiece movies were filmed.
Try to tell me you're not humming the Hobbit's theme right now. lol

Exploring PEI With My Kids
This one might be cheating just a smidge because I've been to (and love) Prince Edward Island, but I haven't been with my children. I want to explore Anne's land with them.
It's hard to pick a single beach, or even a single area, in Prince Edward Island as my fav. I was actually watching the movie Anne of Green Gables one time when my husband walked through the room and said, “Where IS that?” I told him about PEI (altho...
Prince Edward Island - Beaches along Green Gables Shore
If you only have a short time in PEI (like if it's a port of call on your cruise), this tour crams a lot of iconic Prince Edward Island spots into a fun-filled, jam-packed day.
Amazing PEI Experience
It's not a trip to PEI without a lobster supper (or three). My hubby and I went to this one and had a blast (and a LOT of food).

Great link to places to stay with reviews.

Touring the Maritime Provinces by Cruise
PEI is one of those places that if you've been there, you *know.* Both my husband and I love it and all the special landmarks of the island that make it unique so much.
Prince Edward Island Landmark Print
I love this postmodern Charlottetown, PEI print.

Maui Wowie
I had the honor of visiting Oah'u in Hawaii a few years back, and it was amazing. I fell in love with the beautiful island. At some point, I'd love to visit all of the different islands of Hawaii, but next one on my wish list is Maui.
Everything in Hawaii is so lush and green. Such a welcoming place!

River Cruising Through Europe
I've been in love with the concept of river cruising since I first heard of it over 20 years ago. It seems like such a cool and efficient way to see multiple places in one trip.
Viking is probably the most famous of river cruiselines thanks to its ads on Downton Abbey.
