How to do it ⬇️ ⭐️ 1: Pull up the AirBNB How to do it ⬇️

⭐️ 1: Pull up the AirBNB listing you want
⭐️ 2: Right click an image and tap “search Google for this image”
⭐️ 3: If the property has its own website, this should come up easily as the “image source”. You can also try typing the property name into Google (if it has a unique name).
⭐️ 4: Compare the price of booking direct versus with AirBNB. Almost always, it’s cheaper without the third party booking host. 

👉There are some safety and security benefits to booking through a host site like AirBNB, so make sure to do plenty of research and read several reviews before you book independently.

Details on visiting ⬇️ Ah, how nice it is to Details on visiting ⬇️ 

Ah, how nice it is to go where the only traffic jams involve bicycles or horse-drawn carriages! 🚲 🐎 

This charming, car-free island kinda feels like stepping back in time. 🕰️ 

It has many older homes, great Victorian architecture (including the stunning Grand Hotel- which by the way there is a romance movie about starring Jane Seymour 🎥 !), and the overall vibe of this place is so unique. 

The island is also known for its fudge, 🍫 and biking trails! This was actually so much fun to do with our two young kids. It’s easy to rent bikes and pull along wagons 🚲 

🚗 How to Get There from Mackinaw City:

Park your car in Mackinaw City, then hop on a ferry to the island. Two main companies will take you there in 15-20 minutes, and they run from early morning until about 8pm. ⛴️ 

You can do this as a day trip if short on time!

I can’t speak for getting there by train, 🚈 but if you have a rental car, it’s very easy to get to this beautiful village in the Cotswolds! 🩵

They have a (paid) public parking lot, 🚙 and then you have to walk about ten minutes downhill to get to the town center. We packed ourselves a picnic lunch 🧺 and had a nice afternoon exploring the homes and the old church. 

While there isn’t necessarily tons “to do” here, plenty of visitors stay for a full day or two and just soak in the beauty and simplicity of the English countryside, as well as the restaurants and tea rooms 🫖

The scoop on this hike ⬇️ The Quiraing is on The scoop on this hike ⬇️ 

The Quiraing is one of the best known and popular views on the Isle of Skye, and rightfully so. It truly exceeded my expectations and was truly stunning. 

I didn’t want to leave- the views were giving me chills and I will always remember my time there. 🩵

This was by far my favorite hiking trail during all my time in Scotland. However… we were very lucky and had incredible weather and visibility. ☀️ On a cloudy day, it would still be beautiful, but maybe not as dramatically so 🤷🏻‍♀️. Just keep that in mind!

If you did the whole loop trail without stopping, it is considered “moderately challenging” and would take you about 2 hours. 🥾So, realistically, give yourself (at minimum) 3 hours to really enjoy it!

Have you heard of or done this hike before? ⬇️
