That Time When

That Time When… My Luggage Broke Between Flights

Jan 27, 2025
Katie
Ahead of my study abroad trip in 2014, my mom gifted me with a lovely luggage set. I have brought it out countless times over the years, though I usually favor my Away bag. That being said, the carry-on from this set was the perfect size for our Air Canada flights to Tokyo, so I opted to dust it off. Unfortunately, I should have inspected it a little further…

Planning Our Last-Minute Getaway to Paris, France

Jan 19, 2025
Katie
As I’ve always said, go where the cheap flights take you! So when $333 flights to Paris, France, popped up on Google Flights, it was an (almost) immediate yes. That’s exactly how Tyler and I found ourselves planning a last-minute trip - we’re going at the end of the month! We were able to quickly coordinate dog and childcare, so now we’re gearing up for a few days of just the two of us in the City of Light.

Katie’s 2024 Travel Recap: A New Year’s Countdown!

Dec 31, 2024
Katie
As we count down these final moments of 2024, it’s time to look back at the incredible journeys of the past year. For me, those journeys included going back to work after maternity leave, as well as moving back to the heart of Tampa (I’m now just ten minutes from the airport!). There were several great trips this year as well, though honestly, I felt like the year flew by! I am confident there will be plenty of adventures ahead, but for now, let’s kick off the countdown to 2025 with my 2024 travel recap. Who doesn’t love a little wanderlust to ring in the new year? ✨

Ireland 2024: Our 10-Day Multi-Stop Family Road Trip Itinerary

Dec 27, 2024
Katie
As you know, we’ve been to Ireland more than a handful of times over the past ten years or so… We most recently went on a family trip to Ireland in 2022, but Tyler and I love to get back there. I would say this was definitely our most ambitious trip there, as we rented a car and turned it into a multi-stop family road trip. Buckle up - this is how we spent our holiday in Ireland...

Highlights from Whistler, British Columbia

Oct 19, 2024
Katie
It has been *a time* down here in Tampa Bay! It’s hard to believe that not one, but two hurricanes have interrupted our lives (and our power) since I was in Whistler for a work conference. It was a quick trip, especially for two full days' worth of travel, but I still made the most of it! Here are the highlights...

Spotlight: Swiss Museum of Transport

Sep 18, 2024
Katie
One of my coworkers had just returned from Switzerland when we were preparing to leave last month. She told me that we absolutely could not miss the Swiss Museum of Transport, that it had been a highlight of their trip. As a mom of a vehicle-loving kiddo, I was immediately onboard.

5 Days in Lindau, Germany

Sep 2, 2024
Katie
We got back home late on Wednesday, and many loads of laundry later, I think we’re back to our usual routines - aside from the holiday weekend, anyway! As I catch up with folks, I continue to tell them how delightful Lindau was, a true surprise and delight for our family. There were a few places we’d considered visiting when we booked our tickets to Zurich earlier this year. We strongly considered Italy, but something about this lakeside town spoke to us. Lindau was the perfect spot to spend some of our summer vacation. Here’s how we spent our five days there...

Day Trip to Bregenz, Austria

Aug 26, 2024
Katie
Hello from Zurich! We have been having the loveliest time in both Germany and Switzerland, but one of the highlights of this vacation has definitely been the day trip we made to Bregenz, Austria. We had planned to do this all along, since Bregenz is very close to Lindau, Germany, where we stayed. It gave us the chance to cross another country off our visit list, so we figured, why not?

Katie
Once again, I spent the end of July in New York City for work. As soon as I locked in my travel, I knew I would be preparing for some delicious meals - and the city did not disappoint. In the two days that I was there, I got to indulge in some truly delectable dishes. These include…
