In this episode of the Travel Squad Podcast, we take you on an unforgettable journey through the land of fire and ice —beautiful Iceland.

Our adventure begins in the vibrant capital city of Reykjavik, where we marvel at the iconic Hallgrimskirkja Church, stroll down the colorful Rainbow Road, and take in the stunning Sun Voyager sculpture along the waterfront. From Reykjavik, we venture into the heart of Iceland's Golden Circle. At Thingvellir National Park, we explore the fascinating geological formations and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Silfra Fissure. Continuing along the Golden Circle, we witness the power of Geysir Strokkur's eruptions and the majestic beauty of Gullfoss Waterfalls.

As we head towards the southern coast, we base ourselves in the charming village of Vik. Here, we encounter some of Iceland's most spectacular natural wonders. We hike to the top of Skogafoss for breathtaking views, walk behind the cascading waters of Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabú, and observe puffins up close at Dyrholaey's sea cliffs. Our exploration of the southern coast includes the dramatic black sand beaches of Reynisdrangar, the stunning Fjadrargljufur Canyon, the hidden gem of Mulagljufur Canyon, and the enchanting Svartifoss waterfall. The journey culminates with a visit to the famous Diamond Beach and the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, where we take a thrilling zodiac boat tour to get up close to the icebergs and glaciers. Tune in to hear our experiences, tips, and recommendations for making the most of your Icelandic adventure.

Spring will be here before you know it, and it is now the perfect time to start planning that spring trip to Grand Teton before the summer crowds get out of hand. Spring is a magical time to visit this park since there is still still snow, but not too much to prevent you from doing all the main hikes you'd want to do. Plus, this is the time all of the animals are out-and-about and being active coming off the harsh winter season, and that is why we know you will love and appreciate this Throwback Episode! Episode 56 takes you to the amazing Grand Teton National Park!

Travel Squad Podcast - How to Do Hot Springs, Arkansas the Right Way
play

11/01/22 • 69 min

This one is a hoot! We go to Hot Springs National Park Arkansas for an overnight adventure soaking in hot springs, enjoying nature, and enjoying our friends’ company!

This weekend adventure flew us into Dallas with a road trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. The only place in the country where the town, and everything in it, IS the national park!

We may have only been in Arkansas for 24 hours, but as always, we covered a lot of ground! And got to spend time with Kasha & Ryan, two friends we made on our trip to China! (see episodes 3 and 12 for more about that trip!)

We thought our trip in November was the best time to visit Hot Springs National Park because it was cool enough to need a jacket, but not be cold which made the morning hike amazing because you could see the steam rising from the hot springs in the ground all around the area. It was a very cool sight to see.

Things to do in Hot Springs National Park

  • Bathhouse Row!
  • Review of The Hotel Hot Springs and the spread at its breakfast buffet
  • Superior Bathhouse Brewery – the only brewery in a national park!
  • Inappropriate photos in the tub at Lamars Emporium
  • Very cool historic tour of a traditional bathhouse at Fordyce Visitor Center
  • Our thermal pools and steam cave experience at Quapaw Bathhouse
  • Dinner at the historic gangster hangout, The Ohio Club
  • The delicious Fat Bottomed Girl cupcakes
  • Hiking the Grand Promenade and Goat Rock Trail

We also address what we would do differently on this trip if we could do it again, and how to save even more money on weekend trips like this.
