Our 4-Day Itinerary for Madrid, Spain

Jun 6, 2022
Katie
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...

Highlights from Boston, Massachusetts

May 10, 2022
Katie
Last week, I spent about 48 hours in the Boston area for an on-site client meeting. Most of that was, you know, spent working, but I still managed to turn it into a “bleisure” trip, capitalizing on some time I had the first night before meetings, as well as on the last night before I flew out. While it was no work trip to Las Vegas, I’m happy with what I fit into my time in Boston...

Family Vacation: Our 9-Day Ireland Itinerary

Mar 28, 2022
Katie
We booked the flight tickets to Ireland last year, and despite putting together (refundable) plans, I wasn’t entirely sure we’d get to go. Despite running into some hiccups with our original hotel reservation, we made it happen. We packed up our things, grabbed the passports, and headed out. After some flight delays and a mad dash to the second leg of our flight, we made it to DUB early in the morning, ready to take on the day...

Must Visit: Kinsale, Ireland

Mar 22, 2022
Katie
We had the most wonderful time in Ireland! While we had several stops in our trip - Dublin, Rosscarbery, Cork, etc. - the one that stood out the most was Kinsale. A little town right on the coast of the “Wild Atlantic Way,” we included Kinsale in our trip planning because it had come so highly recommended by my friend Clo, who lives in Cork. We trusted her judgment, and ended up booking two nights there. It wasn’t enough! Here’s what you’ll love about Kinsale...

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...

Top 10 Highlights from Dublin, Ireland

Jan 3, 2022
Katie
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...

4 Days in Edinburgh, Scotland

Dec 21, 2021
Katie
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…

3.5 Days in Copenhagen, Denmark

Sep 27, 2021
Katie
We only booked flights to Copenhagen because we found an amazing deal on flights while I was playing around in Google Flights’ explore tool. For $375 roundtrip, how could we say no? Once those were booked, we did some research, bought an Away bag (I did, anyway), booked some great dining experiences, and had a wonderful time in Copenhagen on a budget.

Safety Harbor Spotlight

Sep 23, 2021
Megan
Safety Harbor is one of my favorite towns in the Tampa Bay Area. Conveniently located just over the Courtney Campbell Causeway, Safety Harbor is the perfect meeting spot for travelers coming from either Tampa or St. Pete. This quite little town is not only the idealistic place to live in the area but also a great place to spend an evening or day exploring.
