And other things.
Because having a baby entitles you to indulge a bit in your last few months as a couple, the husband and I decided it was time to book our next trip. HAWAII. Kaua’i to be exact. Believe it or not, in my 30-some years on this earth and after the countless trips we’ve been fortunate …
Last but certainly not least, Paris! We saved the best for last. New Year’s in Paris was the grand finale of this trip. When booking tickets last Summer we happily discovered that flights between European cities are very inexpensive. The one-hour flight from Florence to the City of Lights cost less than $200 for two one-way tickets. …
We’re almost ten days into our trip and on our way to Florence. Still rolling our “cinquecento,” we got an early start from Cortona so we could make a quick stop in Chianti. Radda to be exact. My in-laws stayed there some years back during what was one of the best trips of their lives, …
The next leg of our trip took us to Cortona in Tuscany. Cortona is about 2-1/2 hours north of Rome and we decided to rent a car versus taking a train so we’d have a little more freedom to explore. Tuscany is BIG so we had a tough time choosing where to stay, but we …
You can probably guess I’ve been dreaming about traveling to Europe since I was a little girl. Pretty sure it’s a major bucket list item for most people! This trip was supposed to be our original honeymoon, but timing and expenses didn’t allow us to book it so soon after our wedding. So, after a little more time …
It’s no big secret that we love going to Mexico. Even when we lived in Seattle it seemed we were always heading south of the border for our annual anniversary trips. We visited Cancun in 2011, Puerto Vallarta in 2012, and spent our first weekend as newlyweds (our “mini-moon”) in Valle de Guadalupe in the …
Hello!! I guess I needed a little break to settle back into normal life after the wedding. Aside from the fact that I couldn’t remember what I talked and wrote about before the last year! It really is incredible how much planning a wedding can take over your life and you don’t even realize it …
On our second week in the Philippines we headed to Bacolod, a city in the Negros Occidental province of the Visayas Islands. Basically an hour flight southeast of Manila. This is where my family owns and operates a sugar cane farm, and where my grandparents were able to get away from the hustle and bustle …
After being gone for awhile, there’s nothing like coming home. We recently returned from two amazing weeks in the Philippines, and I can’t remember the last time I was away from home that long. You start to forget you have a normal life to return to! After a few days, the inevitable thoughts of “I …
Closing in on five weeks in San Diego and I already can’t imagine my life without palm trees. On my drive to work, heading to the store, running along the neighborhood streets – – they are everywhere. And I love them. When their image is synonymous with beach vacations, exploring tropical lands, Corona commercials… what’s …
