Working in the corporate world, a few days of rest and relaxation becomes an essential part of the vacation schedule. And while we did just hit up a cruise to the Bahamas, we opted to get in a few more days of R&R in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico before starting 2023. We stayed at Melia Puerto…

Interested in Scuba Diving? What You Need to Know [Updated May 2024]
In the 7 years since I started scuba diving, I’ve had countless friends, family members, acquaintances, and even strangers ask me all sorts of questions about scuba diving. I remember when a close friend of mine started scuba diving around 2010, I had no idea what he was talking about. If I had understood, I…

A Photo Tour of the Beautiful Badlands National Park
While the Dakotas hold some spectacular sites, our South Dakota itinerary would have been incomplete without a visit to Badlands National Park. My first exposure to “badlands” terrain came during a trip to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southern CA. Fascinated to learn more of how badlands are formed and why they’re called ‘badlands’… well,…

Review of Norwegian Sky: Miami to the Bahamas
While the focus of Jetsetting With US is primarily on nature travel, we do take other, more relaxation-style trips as well. For Thanksgiving this year, we wanted to try something different. I personally went on my first cruise early in 2022 and had a really great time. After that awesome experience, I wanted Urmi to…

Everglades National Park: A Boat Tour of Ten Thousand Islands [Updated May 2024]
With a trip to Miami already booked, we opted to take a day trip to Everglades National Park! This national park is an easy drive from any other part of south Florida, which may be opportune since many family travelers take cruises out of Miami or Port Canaveral. More akin to our visit to Kenai…

Custer State Park, South Dakota: Buffalos in the Wild [Updated May 2024]
As part of our 7-day trip to the Dakotas, Urmi and I made several drives through Custer State Park in South Dakota. I personally believe state parks are overlooked all too often – they are usually much better funded yet offer a much more raw experience! In this particular case, we made time for CSP…

Wind Cave National Park: A Hidden Wonder in the Black Hills [Updated May 2024]
Having just visited Mammoth Cave National Park this past Memorial Day Weekend, we were admittedly a little skeptical whether taking a tour of Wind Cave National Park would be redundant. It turns out that Wind Cave has some unique features, especially for the adventurers out there! Also, after years of watching Disney’s Aladdin, I’ve always…

Visiting Mt. Rushmore: Stunning Sculpture in America’s Heartland [Updated May 2024]
Introduction Amongst the outstanding natural beauty we got to see on our trip around the Dakotas, we did carve out (pun intended!) some time for visiting Mt. Rushmore. As a toddler, back in the days of VHS, my parents would play a children’s tape of patriotic songs. When the tape showed scenes of this incredible…

9 Unique Things to Do in South Dakota: Natural and Man-made Splendor [Updated May 2024]
Much like North Dakota, South Dakota hadn’t been at the top of my “vacation destination” list. But once Sanjay and I talked about making a trip to visit Badlands National Park, we quickly built ourselves an itinerary of things to do in South Dakota. In fact, we built out our list just focused on attractions…

Visiting Teddy Roosevelt National Park: Scenes of Beautiful Buttes [Updated May 2024]
Teddy Roosevelt National Park was an unlikely stop for us! When you think “vacation,” North Dakota is not usually at the top of one’s list. Generally speaking, it wasn’t at the top of mine either. But as I started touring the US national parks over the past few years, North Dakota made the list –…
