Posted on October 27, 2025October 22, 2025 by Tianna Gratta

Quebec City is a rapidly developing food haven. You can’t throw a rock in this city without hitting good food. Although I wouldn’t recommend throwing a rock at good food. I wondered these cobble stoned streets for over a week eating for you and I think I gained about 20 pounds. It was well worth…

Posted on July 7, 2025August 5, 2025 by Tianna Gratta

The most popular way to visit Alaska is on a cruise. Porting in many towns for the day and exploring the area before hoping back on the boat and sailing to the next destination.
