We met with Santa and The Grinch, listened to Christmas carols and a brass band, warmed up with hot chocolate, checked out the cute shops, cheered with the crowd during the lighting ceremony and ended our day watching The Christmas Story- A Musical at The Opera House. It was the perfect way to start the Christmas season! Visit https://realwoodstock.com/ to see more of their Christmas events Where to stay- We stayed at the historic Tailor House Airbnb. This cottage is so cozy, has a hot tub, and is only 2 blocks from the town square. You can f

We recommend booking your train tickets online, directly on the ItaliaRail website. Some helpful tips for traveling via train: -Book the first class seats if you can. They’re actually not expensive at all, and the experience is much more pleasant. You’ll have wider seats with more generous legroom, power outlets and wifi, as well as complimentary drinks and snacks onboard. -If you’ll be working on your phone or laptop, we recommend opting for the first class seats in the “quiet zone” -Book the high-speed train option for the quickest commute 🍋 We’ve recently updated our Italy travel guides for 2025 travel, and they’re available on our website.

Katmai is one of the only places on the planet that grizzly bears, who are usually quite territorial, peacefully hunt side-by-side, due to the sheer volume of salmon and other food resources here. It’s no wonder that @natgeo named bear viewing at Katmai the #4 coolest travel adventure in the WORLD for 2024! 🌎⁣ ⁣

Kanarra Falls is a unique hike about 45 minutes away from the crowds in Zion, and while it does require a permit, they’re easy to buy online before you go. Details: 3.8 miles RT includes a slot canyon section 180 permits available each day $15 per person, buy permits in advance online at KanarraFalls.com You will be walking through streambeds and over rocks so wear comfortable hiking shoes with ankle support that you don’t mind getting wet. As with all slot canyons, do not enter if there’s rain anywhere in the area due to the likelihood of flash floods. The first large waterfall is at 1.6 miles. Scaling a 20-foot ladder is required to continue the hike.

Crystal clear waters, epic snorkeling, and an old fort in the middle of the ocean? 🤯 💡Here are some tips before planning your trip to Dry Tortugas National Park: Getting There: 🚢Ferry (Yankee Freedom III): The ferry costs around $220 per adult for a round trip and takes about 2.5 hours each way. The price includes breakfast, lunch, and snorkeling gear, making it a great value if you’re looking for a full-day adventure. It’s a scenic ride but plan for a long day! ✈️Seaplane (Key West Seaplane Adventures): If you want to cut down travel time, the seaplane is the way to go.

So, if you’re like me and prefer to skip the crowds and the overpriced stuff, check out these three islands instead: • Milos: Known for its breathtaking beaches, this volcanic island is perfect for exploring hidden coves, dramatic coastlines, and crystal-clear waters. Don’t miss a boat trip to the iconic Kleftiko caves! • Paros: Charming villages, lively nightlife, and windsurfing paradise! Paros strikes the perfect balance between relax

It’s summertime, but this village is believed to have inspired Arendelle in ‘Frozen.’ Most people visit this village for a day trip, but ODD travel decided to stay for a couple of nights, and it was the best decision we made. 📍Hallstatt, Austria The village was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997. It has a population of just around 800 residents. It’s stunning during the day, but it’s even better once the crowds thin out. #travel #austriatravel #hallstatt #europetravel #ODDTravel | ODD Travel | rhianne · Somewhere Only We Know

It’s about 9-10 hours of driving between the three parks depending on where you go—so it’s possible to do in a week, but I’d recommend 2-3 weeks if you have the time.

There is a bar car and kitchen car. 💰 Tickets for coach were $89 for an adult, $84 for kids. Yes, this was steep, but to us it was worth it.
