3 Days in Puerto Rico

Jun 28, 2021
Katie
In September 2019, Tyler and I went with his parents on a quick trip to Puerto Rico. We were able to stay in his uncle’s condo in Rincón, which put us right on the beach. We rolled up late at night, but were excited to really kick off our time there the next day. Here's how we spent our three days on the island...

That Time When… I Voluntoured in New York

Jun 21, 2021
Katie
I was a sophomore in college when Hurricane Sandy devastated New York. I had seen hurricane damage in Florida, but we’re prepared for hurricanes here - this was something entirely different. So much damage had been done, with thousands of houses flooded. When my RA shared that the UF Hillel was organizing a volunteer trip to help out, I knew I wanted to give back - plus, it meant a free trip to New York.

Are Paddywagon Tours Good?

Since Tyler and I have both been to Ireland before, we’ve had family come to us for advice on what to do while there. I was just talking to my mom and sister about how they could make Dublin their home base while still seeing some more of what Ireland has to offer. My answer: Paddywagon Tours.

Our 7-Night Mediterranean Honeymoon

Jun 7, 2021
Katie
As Megan wrote recently, cruising is back! That, combined with our upcoming anniversary trip, got me thinking about our honeymoon. We did a 7-night cruise through the Mediterranean on Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas. Our honeymoon at sea was equal parts active and relaxing - just what we wanted. We loved that it gave us a glimpse of several new spots.

We’re Going to Ireland!

May 17, 2021
Katie
Ireland was the first international trip that Tyler and I took together. We flew to Dublin in December 2016, spending a week there before making it home just in time to celebrate the holidays - unlike subsequent years. We stayed in a tiny hotel on the “wrong” side of the river, but we had the week to explore and fall in love with the country; I swore I’d be back soon.

What to Do When An Airline Changes Your Flight

May 10, 2021
Katie
Our research and trip almost came to a halt when I got the email two weeks ago that the airline had changed our flights. Every single leg of our trip had changed, and we lost several hours in San Francisco - while gaining several hours on a layover in LAX. We had to decide what to do, figuring we had three options to choose from.

Where to Go to See Van Gogh

May 3, 2021
Katie
Emily in Paris has highlighted some really cool must-dos - like the immersive Van Gogh experience she attends in the first season. So when I saw that Van Gogh Alive had extended its stay at The Dalí, I knew I had to jump on it. I booked tickets several months ago for my husband and I to soak in the exhibit, and we finally went last week.
