We’re Going to New Zealand!
Come November, we’re heading to New Zealand! I can hardly believe that as I type it, but like when we booked tickets to Spain, it started with a Scott’s Cheap Flights alert...
Where to Eat in Toronto, Canada
I still can’t get over what a great time Tyler and I had in Toronto last week, celebrating our anniversary. We went to Niagara Falls, stayed at an amazing boutique hotel (highly, highly recommend), and ate so much. As it turns out, Toronto is a foodie haven, and there are plenty of great spots to eat. Here’s what we enjoyed...
What to Know: Flying into Toronto, Canada (July 2022)
Tyler and I made it to Toronto a few days ago, and we’ve been settling in quite nicely. That being said, we ran into some hiccups flying into the city that delayed us getting to our hotel. Obviously, travel rules continue to change, but if you’re flying into Toronto any time soon, this is what you need to know...
How to Book a Day Trip to Niagara Falls from Toronto
When I shared that we had changed our anniversary trip plans to Toronto, I got some really excellent feedback on things to do. While most of those “things” are actually delicious-looking restaurants, I was told explicitly (thanks, Erin!) to “definitely do Niagara Falls!” As we found in Iceland, we loveeee waterfalls. Which means we’re definitely doing it.
Highlights from July in Colorado
Over the last few days, I’ve had my social media channels remind me that this time in 2019, I was living it up in Colorado. While I went in November 2019 and February 2020, the July trip to Colorado taught me all the summery things to love about the state. These were just a few of the best parts...
Highlights from the Jersey Shore
My summer travel plans have officially gained another trip: Asbury Park, New Jersey. Over the holiday weekend, we got an invite to Tyler’s cousin’s wedding in September, which will take place on the Jersey Shore. It’s been a minute since we saw his family, but a few things stand out from our 2019 trip to visit them - for starters, it was a very cold January! Otherwise…
Katie’s Summer 2022 Travel Plans
When I wrote my 2021 travel wrap up, I hoped that 2022 would be a year with a lot more traveling. Boy, has it been! So far this year, I have taken my first solo trip, exploring Osprey and Venice, Florida; joined the extended family for an Irish vacation; and added a new country to my list, visiting Madrid and Barcelona in Spain. After these past couple years, that alone would seem like a lot. But this summer is looking hotter and hotter with travel plans...
Our 4-Day Itinerary for Barcelona, Spain
Fun fact about Barcelona: Spanish isn’t the primary language spoken there. It’s actually the capital of the region of Spain known as Catalonia, where the language is Catalan. Fortunately for us, most people spoke both Spanish and Catalan (as well as quite a bit of English), but we definitely felt the language barrier more here than in Madrid. Here’s what else we learned and did in our four days in Barcelona...
Spotlight: The Salty Donut
Y’all know I love all kinds of desserts, ranging from Crumbl Cookies’s cookies to Bright Ice’s ice cream. Of course, I do have my favorite: donuts. Whether they’re vegan or Voodoo, I never pass up the chance to sample a possible new favorite. Which is why when Sara asked if I wanted to go to Orlando this past weekend to try out The Salty Donut, I jumped all over it.
Our 4-Day Itinerary for Madrid, Spain
In February, we found cheap flights to Madrid out of Tampa, and we jumped on the chance to finally go to Spain. As we had planned, we split our time between Madrid and Barcelona; the cities are both very different, but also both worth a visit. Here’s what we did with our four days in Madrid...
