Our 3.5 Day Itinerary for New York City
As I shared a few weeks ago, we ultimately landed on NYC as our 2023 anniversary trip! It wasn’t exactly on our radar for places we wanted to go, but the timing worked out perfectly with a work conference I’d be attending in the city, so we capitalized on having most of the nights in the hotel already covered. Three days and change is not a lot of time to explore, especially when we both had work to do, but I think we did a great job of finding the bleisure in our visit!
Dunn’s River Falls Guide
Dunn’s River Falls is a famous waterfall near Ocho Rios, Jamaica and one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island because it is not only a beautiful natural wonder, but it is also fun climbing adventure.
How to Get A Redress Number – And Why You Might Need One
I had shared previously how I was selected for secondary screening on our way home from New Zealand last year... But then I got it again on our way home from Finland in April. To have it happen once in a while is totally normal, even if you have TSA Pre Check or Global Entry, but twice in a row for my international trips felt like something was amiss. A coworker suggested I could use a redress number...
Jurassic Quest vs Dinosaur World: Which is Better?
We went to Dinosaur World earlier this year, and we thought it was great. Located less than 20 minutes from the fairgrounds where Jurassic Quest is currently set up (open here from July 21-30, 2023), it felt to us like the better option - but that may not always be the case. If you’re debating between a visit to Jurassic Quest or Dinosaur World, this is what you should evaluate...
Anniversary Trip 2023: We’re Going to NYC!
The ultimate bleisure opportunity popped up, and we jumped on it - we're going to New York City! I can’t say NYC was on our shortlist, but we’re going to make the most of it! We haven’t been together in the city since we volunteered there in 2012, so it’s definitely a much different vibe.
Cruising Once Again
This time next week I will be once again sailing across the Caribbean on one of my favorite ships Carnival Horizon. You all know I am not a Carnival girly but you do know my love for the Havana Club.
Once again my family will be taking over the Havana Club on a 6 night Western Caribbean cruise, sailing to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
A Day at WTR Tampa
At the end of May, I got a text that my friend Julie was planning a big birthday celebration for her 30th (which is actually today - happy birthday, Julie!). We knew they would have a reserved space at WTR Tampa and that tickets to enter would cost us $20 each, but we didn’t do a ton of research after that. After all, of course we’d be there to help her celebrate...
Bar Pitti Review – NYC
Traveling to NYC can be incredibly overwhelming. From the public transit to the millions of people walking the streets. But I’d argue that finding places to eat can be the most overwhelming part about visiting the big apple. Not because they’re a limited choices, but because there are so many choices!
Traveling in the First Trimester: What to Know
When Tyler and I took our 2020 anniversary trip to Savannah, Georgia, I learned all about what it meant to road trip while pregnant. Three years later - we're having baby #2! And since we're no longer faced with the same travel restrictions that were in place with our son, my travel has been a lot more involved...
Where to Eat in Helsinki, Finland
After spending some time in Stockholm, Sweden, we took the ferry over to Helsinki, Finland, for the second half of our trip (which was broken up by a quick day trip to Tallinn, Estonia). We were really happy with our hotel, which was centrally located, but the best thing we did in Helsinki was eat! We had made reservations in advance, based on research that said it could be difficult to get into restaurants, and we were happy with all the places we ate. If you’re looking for dining recommendations, look no further...
