Highlights from Downtown Denver
Happy holidays, everyone! I’m hunkered down at home with the family after a wonderful Christmas celebration, and I am just incredibly grateful for this year. Highlights include wrapping things up with a work trip to Denver, Colorado earlier this month! I spent four days there, and I had a wonderful time - despite the cold. This is what I did that made the trip so great...
Tampa Bay Christmas Bars
celebrate with friends and family to all the lights and décor, you can’t help but be in a good mood during the holiday season. One of my favorite things about the holidays is how festive people get, especially some local bars in the Tampa Bay area. If you are looking for a fun night out and even a cute photo op you must check out one of these local holiday pop up bars.
Spotlight: KRATE at The Grove
We're excited to spend some time exploring the area around us now. Wesley Chapel has historically been alllll suburbs, but I think we'll uncover some gems. For starters, KRATE. Located at The Grove, a major shopping area just off of I-75, KRATE opened in June 2022 with the main goal of providing a home for small businesses.
Our 7-Day Itinerary for Auckland, New Zealand
Hello from 30,000 feet! I am writing this blog post en route to Denver, thinking about the last time I was on a plane. While travel without a toddler is much easier, I don't think this work trip will be quite as much fun as our time in New Zealand...
Florida Holiday Must Do
If you are looking to get into the Holiday Spirit this season but can’t make the time to get up to the snowy mountains or the Christmas Magic of NYC. St. Augustine might surprise you as a great place for a Holiday getaway.
Planning for Denver, Colorado
Colorado has been featured on the blog not infrequently because Megan and I both have had great vacations there. I am headed back this month for a team offsite; I’m going to Denver (again), baby!
What I Scored on Travel Tuesday
While I definitely did some damage on Black Friday and Cyber Monday I scored my most exciting deals on Travel Tuesday.
That Time When… I Got SSSS on My Boarding Pass
After an easy SkyDrive bus ride to AKL, we got to the American Airlines kiosk to print paper copies of our boarding passes. While going through the process, it gave us the opportunity to confirm our known traveler numbers for Global Entry. Tyler’s number was listed, but despite inputting it twice, mine wouldn’t come through. This was annoying, but I wasn’t overly concerned about it - we’d have to go through security regardless - until my boarding pass finally printed. In big letters, my boarding pass had SSSS.
Black Friday Celebrity Cruise Deal
Forget all the retail deals this year and treat yourself and your loved ones an epic adventure in 2023.
Our 4-Day Itinerary for Hahei, New Zealand
For the first part of our New Zealand trip, we were staying on the Coromandel Peninsula. Tyler braved the other side of the road (and the car) to drive us the ~2.5 hours to this coastal getaway. Here’s how we spent our four days there…
