On a summer getaway to Montana, after spending four days in Glacier National Park, my husband, 13-year-old daughter, and I—our son was on another trip—added three days to visit the vibrant town of Missoula, Montana. A 2.5-hour drive south from Glacier’s West Glacier entrance, this town is home to the University of Montana and is in the middle of several wilderness areas.  We chose Missoula as our bonus destination to extend our time in Montana and visit a dear college friend living there. Following her recommendations and spending time with her gave us an insider experience to all that t ..read more

Nestled in a picturesque valley and bisected by the Clark Fork River, we visited the thriving town of Missoula, Montana, after spending four days in Glacier National Park in July.

Warm weather activities include outdoor adventures like hiking, biking, rafting, and fishing—or culture and history found at the Missoula Art Museum and Fort Missoula. Soaking up this mountain town’s atmosphere at its lively farmers market and live music venues offers more excellent ..read more

If you want to discover the best dining options while you explore the more than 1,500 square miles of Glacier National Park, you have come to the right place. When we visited Glacier, we found many things to see and do, though few places to eat. Because we did not have a kitchen to cook at our West Glacier B&B, where we based our stay, we ate out for most meals.  Inside Glacier National Park and the small communities surrounding it, you will find restaurant options to be limited. Some places are open on select days with set time windows and only during the summer season. And ot ..read more

Planning a trip to Glacier National Park, only to discover all in-park lodging is already booked during its busy summer season? Not to worry. We had to stay outside the park too.

To help with alternatives, I created this comprehensive list of the top lodging options outside Glacier National Park and organized it by region. Then, I highlight the benefits of staying outside the park, share the best lodging options for ..read more

I love traveling to Europe in the spring. As a North American, and especially as part of a family group, I appreciate the lower prices on airfare, lodging, and tours vs. the summer high season. Prices for round-trip tickets to Rome or Dublin can regularly cost less than a flight to high-demand Florida. Plus, and a tremendous bonus, the crowds are smaller nearly everywhere in the spring.  Since the second half of March and the beginning of April historically cover the traditional North American spring break for college students to kindergartners, this is the perfect time for families with ..read more

Exasperated is an excellent word for how I felt when I first learned about using Google Search Console to index my, at the time, nine-month-old travel blog. Why?  When I logged onto Google Search Console for the first time, I discovered Google had not indexed half of my blog articles. In search engine terms, it meant these articles did not exist. And that people searching for the topics I wrote about—using the most powerful search engine—would never be directed to my site. This same experience applies to many of my fellow travel bloggers, including several who have been publishing for y ..read more
