We start our visit to the Czech Republic by heading to the town of Pilzen about 45 miles west of Prague to visit Pilsner Urquell, the home of the first “pilsner” lager. Pilsner Urquell has been brewing the same recipe from this location since 1842.

DH got the idea to go to Iceland in January to see the Northern Lights.
After researching, we found January is a terrific time to experience the best Icelandic winter without the crowds.
