The bourbon trail in Kentucky is a pilgrimage spot for those who love this amazing spirit. Being bourbon lovers ourselves, we finally got the chance to visit the region to check out some of our favorite distilleries as well as others we've always wanted to try.
During our visit we stayed for four nights, three days, and learned a lot about what goes into planning a good bourbon trail itinerary. As such, we wanted to share all those tips with you in our three day bourbon trail guide!
Iceland is full of culinary gems and surprises, with a more dynamic and diverse food scene than we ever expected.
From lunch in a greenhouse to our favorite hot dog stand, here we reveal our culinary “best of” list from our recent 10-day trip driving around the famous Iceland Ring Road.
As many readers here know, we are Hilton loyalists in our travel hacking endeavors (but are also one of the brand's fiercest critics). We travel with Hilton for work and use our Hilton travel rewards credit card for just about everything in order to rack up as many points and weekend night certificates as possible.
This doesn't allow us to travel the world for free as some travel hackers would have you believe, but it does give us a few free hotel nights anytime we travel- more often than not at a significant upgrade from what we'd otherwise pay for.
So, naturally, when it came time for us to book our one-night stay at a hotel in central Reykjavik, Iceland, on our recent vacation, we knew exactly where we would be staying without hesitation.
At 40,000 points, the Hilton Reykjavik Nordica is an incredible deal in its own right, but the perks of being a Hilton Gold member made this stay one of the best we've ever had with the chain in recent memory.
So for those who are Hilton loyalists like us with the status to match, this one is definitely for you.
“Is it possible to drive the Ring Road in Iceland without spending a lot of money?
Iceland has a bad reputation for being an expensive country to visit, and this is an especially valid concern for those looking to make the long drive around the Ring Road.
Although it is true that Iceland is on the more expensive end of the spectrum, it does not have to break the bank in the process.
We visited for a 10-day Iceland Ring Road trip and had a wonderful time for about $3,000 for the two of us, excluding airfare.
Now, we know that this is on the higher side of things but thankfully there are many ways to get your spending down significantly beyond what we spent.
Today we want to share those with you.
