A highlight of living in Boston, or visiting the area, are fantastic day trips to destinations along the New Hampshire and Maine coast. As we live near downtown Boston and parking spaces are limited in our area of Allston, we choose not to own a car.

Oslo, the capital of Norway, rests along the country’s southern coast at the head of Oslofjord. The ski jumping venue of Holmenkollbakken offers fantastic panoramic views overlooking Oslo and the surrounding fjord.

Vietnam can be a challenging country to explore, as we discovered firsthand. But we had no major problems, and found many people to be warm and welcoming.
