In episode 89, we take two-day trips from Sedona, Arizona. This is part three of a series of podcasts recapping our travels to Camp Verde, Sedona, and nearby places in Arizona.
Day Trips From Sedona
We had two main destinations outside of Sedona during our travel to the area - Jerome Arizona and the Grand Canyon.
Jerome Arizona Day Trip
We booked the Jerome History Walk tour with the Jerome Ghost Tours company. The small group tour explored the once-booming mining history of the area, visiting key locations in town. We loved listening to stories about the old mining town, saloon escapes, and the rise and decline of Jerome.
Book a Jerome History Walk Tour Here
When in Jerome, we highly recommend The Clinkscale for dining. Our lunch there was fantastic!
We started our day attending church at St. Cecilia Catholic Church in nearby Clarkdale, Arizona. After mass, we strolled the town, which offered a wonderful small-town America feel.
Grand Canyon Railway Tour
Our next day trip adventure was riding about The Grand Canyon Railway from Williams, AZ, to the Grand Canyon Village. The vintage train traveled through beautiful plains and canyons. We enjoyed the live entertainment including Wild West shoot-out before our ride, and musicians who serenaded us during the journey.
If you haven’t seen the Grand Canyon dusted with snow, it is quite a sight to see.
Book a Grand Canyon Railway Ride Here
Downtown Sedona Visit
We also take a quick stop in Downtown Sedona for shopping, coffee, and browsing the art galleries at the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village.
Zane Grey RV Village
Our week-long stay near Sedona was at the Zane Grey RV Village in Camp Verde. We provide a recap of this stay on today's episode.

Visiting the Great Market Square of Krakow
In episode 84, we explore the great Market Square of Krakow. We continue our multi-part series taking you to multiple cities in Poland. We spent 23 days traveling through western Poland.
Kraków is the 2nd largest city in Poland. Located on Poland’s longest river, the Wisła, this once capital of Poland has a history dating back to the 7th century. The Old Town of Kraków was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978 and was one of the first 12 sites granted this special recognition. The city attracts more than 13 million visitors annually.

- Kraków Market Square (Rynek Główny)
- Cloth Hall (Sukiennice)
- Kraków National Museum
- Town Hall Tower
- Rynek Underground
- Saint Mary’s Basilica (the Kościół Mariacki)
Eat at one of Poland’s restaurants
When you visit the Rynek Główny, be sure to have a meal at Wierzynek. Dating back to the 14th century, it is one of Poland’s oldest restaurants.
With a capacity of 200 guests over four floors, the restaurant has eight themed dining rooms. It is a luxurious culinary experience with traditional Eastern European fish and game. Servings are imaginative. And you’ll find a strong menu of Polish wines.
Dinner here is expensive, but this is a place to splurge when in the city.
