Cruisin' 2026
Packing for a cruise can make the difference between a good trip and a seamless one. You don't want to board the ship and set sail thinking you should've packed this or that. I've put together a list of things you may not have thought of, but you will be glad you have, much of which is also appropriate for small space living.

MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANTS - 2025-2026
It is fitting that this blog post comes out on Valentine's Day Weekend as Mont Blanc is a special place that provides a perfect experience for date nights, romantic dinners, special occasions and beyond. It was a highlight of our trip to Amsterdam and one that will hold great memories for many years to come.
Nothing completed our days of museums and sightseeing like a relaxing meal in a beautiful restaurant serving up excellent food. We enjoyed all of our dining adventures in Amsterdam, but Ron Gastrobar, a recommendation by our Hotel Concierge, was one of the nicest surprises we encountered in our escapades!
Situated within the walls of Amsterdam's iconic Rijksmuseum, Rijks Restaurant offers an experience that transcends ordinary museum dining. This is not a place for hurried sandwiches between gallery visits, but rather a destination worthy of its own pilgrimage, where Dutch culinary excellence meets the grandeur of one of Europe's finest art institutions.
AMSTERDAM - FALL 2025
Amsterdam rewards the traveler who arrives prepared. With its famously changeable skies, cobblestone canal streets, and culture that effortlessly mixes high art and casual café life, packing for this city is an art in itself.
A great Amsterdam trip starts long before you land at Schiphol. The right guidebook, a well-chosen city pass, a few trusted tour platforms, and a community of fellow travelers can transform a good trip into a genuinely extraordinary one. Here's where to start.
Amsterdam is a city for the seasons. Every season has its highlights. Following is a guideline to the highlights for each season, as well as the sights transcending all seasons. Enjoy!
Whether you are winging it with where you may wander or following a specific itinerary, the best way to see and experience Amsterdam is by walking... through the streets, up the canals, around the squares... every step uncovers another gem within this enchanting city.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning Amsterdam enthusiast, a canal tour with Pure Boats provides a sustainable and memorable way to appreciate one of Europe's most beautiful cities from its most iconic vantage point-the water. We chose a sunset cruise with drinks and hors d'ouevres which we both enjoyed, despite the rain.
Within a short walk from the Anne Frank House, The Pancake Bakery has been serving authentic Dutch pancakes since 1973 in a charming 17th-century canal house warehouse. Visitors are treated to an authentic taste of traditional Dutch cuisine in a cozy, historic setting.
The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam stands as one of the world's most powerful historical museums, offering visitors a profound journey into the life of Anne Frank and the harrowing reality of the Holocaust. For any one who has read her diary, and knows her story, this can be an emotional visit.
Although we did not have time to explore Amsterdam's Jewish Quarter, this will definitely be on the bucket list with a return trip to the city.
The Rembrandt House Museum offers visitors something rare: the chance to walk through the actual rooms where an artistic genius lived, worked, and ultimately struggled during the height of the Dutch Golden Age.
After a full day of sightseeing, art museum & tours, we wanted to wind down the evening in a casual, comfortable cafe with comfort food vibes. Pompa, a recommendation from our Hotel Concierge, fit the bill and was within walking distance of our Hotel.
We wanted to find something beyond the art museums to explore to break up our time in Amsterdam. The Heineken Experience turned out to be a perfect option for all the history, education, entertainment and fun it provided.
The Van Gogh Museum stands as one of the world's most beloved art institutions. Housing the largest collection of works by Vincent Van Gogh, this museum offers visitors an intimate and chronological journey through the troubled genius's brief but extraordinarily productive artistic career. It was another must-see destination for us in Amsterdam.
The Rijksmuseum stands as one of Europe's most magnificent art institutions and is a must see for visitors to Amsterdam, especially for Art Aficionados.
Our first dinner in Amsterdam was at Cafe George, a delightful French brasserie with New York bistro cool vibes recommended by our Hotel Concierge. It was a perfect choice for a lovely, relaxed meal after a long day of traveling.
What stood out most for us during our stay at The Conservatorium was the level of customer service this hotel provides - before, during and even after every guest's stay.
The Conservatorium Hotel stands as a masterful fusion of 19th-century architecture and contemporary design. This five-star property, occupying a former bank and a music conservatory built in 1897, has transformed a protected monument into one of Europe's most sophisticated urban retreats.
With a little help from Claude AI, I researched the city's standout properties to help find the perfect base for our Amsterdam adventure. Here's our curated guide.
Our plans for Amsterdam slowly began taking shape as I did the research and narrowed down the must see sights on this trip.
Before I could think about boarding a flight overseas, I needed to get my docs in order: Birth Certificate, passport, REAL ID, TSA pre-check... annoying but necessary preliminary tasks to planning.
Follow me on my journey to Amsterdam, from the early idea for the trip through the planning stages to the actual trip. You'll want to take notes for your next trip!
