Solo Trip Recap: Osprey and Venice, Florida

Jan 31, 2022
Katie
Had I heard of Osprey before? No. But considering the price came out to under $100 per night, I figured it was worth exploring, especially because it was close to Sarasota, one of my first thoughts on where I’d go, as well as right next to Venice, which I’ve only heard good things about. Early Friday afternoon, I gassed up the car and headed south. Here’s what I did...

When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location! Since my bachelorette party was on a cruise (which I’d highly recommend), I didn’t realize all that goes into planning the different stays and activities. Now, these are the excursions we have planned...

Top 10 Highlights from Dublin, Ireland

Jan 3, 2022

Dublin is one of my favorite places to visit. Tyler and I celebrated NYE 2018 there, after we spent the holidays making our way through Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris. Dublin served as our home base on our 2019 girls' trip to Ireland, allowing us to easily access other cities around the country. And of course, we have plans to return there this March, bringing our son on his first international trip. But when I think of Dublin, I first think of my first trip there in December 2016. We spent a week in the city, and it won me over for life. These are the top 10 highlights from that trip...

2020 taught us a lot, but 2021 even more, despite it being the quietest year for travel I've had in a long time. In January of this year, we had our son - and if road tripping while pregnant was tricky, taking any sort of trip with the baby hit a whole new level. I made just three major trips this year...

Two years ago today, I was traveling with Tyler and his parents to Edinburgh. We were stoked to be spending our holidays in Scotland, after spending the Christmas before in Belgium. We arrived at Gatwick early in the morning on December 22 and had brunch at Giraffe before getting on the train to Edinburgh…

Highlights from Brussels, Belgium

Dec 13, 2021
Katie
In 2018, after poking around in Google Flights’ Explore Tool, I found a great deal on flights that would have us spending Christmas in Brussels. It worked out great because we already had the time off from work, and once our parents accepted that we were not coming home for the holidays, we could make our way to Belgium stress-free. These were the best parts...
