When I get asked for recommendations on where to go in Northern Spain, my very first answer tends to be San Sebastian. It's a city that really has something for everyone; great shopping, some of the best pinxtos, a gorgeous stretch of beach, and plenty of history to be explored.

Well, if you're an adventure seeker, or even a mild one like me, how could you pass up an opportunity to go on one of the most unique spelunking tours I've ever heard of. In the Ruakuri Cave, you zip line, jump off cliffs, climb up waterfalls, and float through a tunnel of glow worms.

So I just have to say, I was so incredibly pleased with my stay at the Hilton Grand Vacations Suites on the Las Vegas Strip (herein after HGVSotLVS). It's by far the nicest Las Vegas hotel I've ever stayed in and ranks among my most favorite chain hotel stays ever.
My husband and I left for our a 3+ week epic adventure honeymoon to New Zealand just a little under a year ago. We started in Auckland, on the North Island, and made our way all the way down to the bottom tip of the South Island. In all that time we spent there and the many places we stayed, Maison Luc in Kaiteriteri may be the one place we want to return to the most.
