Spring Break 2019 - Day 1

We decided to take a beach vacation this time. Rent something on the beach so that we can go to the beach any time we want. It was definitely a dream vacation. We chose to go to Clearwater beach because of its miles of white sandy beaches and direct flight to Tampa. 

We started on Saturday which was also Padwa, ‘Marathi New Year’. Morning Jai did the special Pooja. We did small gudhi inside this time since we need to leave home by 11.



I made our favorite god poli to take with us. We packed very light. Look at my bag, I had everything for 7 days including 2 pairs of extra shoes.


Day flight is good since you get to see outside. Enjoyed the flight!
There are very long bridges connecting to small islands near Tampa. While landing we witnessed  sunset on Gulf of Mexico and this beautiful bridge.
Jai was happy to get some warm weather, he took off jacket immediately as we reached to airport.

Drive to our hotel was through Tampa Bay and it was beautiful, water on both sides and tracks for running/biking. In fact, there was a dedicated bridge for runners and bikers.

Our hotel was just next to the beach but it was dark so couldn’t go on the beach but looked very happening area. Many people were walking and lots of restaurants on the beach side.

I couldn’t wait for the morning to go to the beach. We went to eat dinner at Frenchy's which was just across the hotel. Veggie burger and beer both were yummy!!

Day ended with lots of curiosity for the beach.

A Journey Through Sunshine and Serenity: Our Florida Getaway

Embarking on a journey to Fort Lauderdale, our adventure began with a serene stay at the Miami Beach Ocean View Hotel. We reached late to hotel and when we opened our eyes, it was a pleasant welcome by morning sunrays. The first day was a delightful blend of cultures, starting with the vibrant Wynwood Walls neighborhood, where the gelato’s authenticity transported me straight to Italy. Dinner was an elegant affair at a chic restaurant, setting the tone for the days ahead. The second day greeted us with a hearty breakfast at South Beach, followed by an exhilarating bike ride along the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk with Jai. The thrill of surfing was complemented by the taste of fresh fish tacos and the unique Shark Tank drink. Jai really enjoyed surfing and tacos. As the day waned, Häagen-Dazs ice cream for me and frozen yogurt for Jai were the perfect sweet treats before an evening spent basking in the ocean’s embrace. On the third day, We savored  Einstein Miami bagel, a perfect start...

Canadian Rockies - Day 2 - The Dream Day: Larch Valley Hike & Moraine Lake Magic

We started our second day in the Canadian Rockies with our little tradition — a steaming cup of masala tea. There’s nothing like that comforting aroma to kick off an adventurous morning. While sipping our tea, we had a great chat with our wonderful host, Jeremy -  a biker, traveler, and author of two books. He’s been around the world on his bike, and listening to his stories was truly inspiring. After breakfast, it was time for one of the most anticipated parts of our trip - the Larch Valley hike and visiting my dream destination, Moraine Lake! We grabbed some Subway sandwiches from Banff downtown to fuel up later on the trail and then headed toward Moraine Lake by shuttle. We started the hike around 12:30 PM, and wow — it was steep and challenging right from the beginning. But every step upward brought more breathtaking views of Moraine Lake below. The turquoise water kept peeking through the trees as we climbed higher and higher. As we gained elevation, the larches turned gold...
