I took an overnight ferry to Finland in a premium cabin for $333. I'd do this trip again, but ideally on a nicer ship.

My friend and I spent $390 at one of the most-awarded Chinese restaurant chains. I'd only return on 2 conditions.

I went to Keens Steakhouse for the first time. After my $150 meal, I get why it's been around for over 100 years.

My family of 4 tried Bonefish Grill for the first time. Our $120 meal was so great that this might just be our new favorite chain.

I took a $10 ferry to a scenic island just a few miles from Seattle. Its cute shops and restaurants make it a must-visit for tourists.
