Jan 20, 2022
Megan
The Turks and Caicos Islands have been a hot destination over the last year. This Caribbean country is made up of a multiple sets of islands, all unique in their own way. Grand Turk is the island that houses both cruisers and avid divers. This small island is only 7 miles of total area to explore, but that does not mean there isn’t plenty to do.

What it’s like Cruising During Another Pandemic Spike

Jan 13, 2022
Megan
Well, here we are again, another spike in this never-ending pandemic. Omicron has caused issues in multiple areas of travel, but no one has gotten as much heat as the cruise industry. Right before the new year the CDC released a statement that no one, even fully vaccinated and boosted individuals should cruise, citing an increase in transmissibility of the omicron variant as well as every cruise line having positive cases on board. This news came on the same day I arrived back in Miami from a post-Christmas cruise.

When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location! Since my bachelorette party was on a cruise (which I’d highly recommend), I didn’t realize all that goes into planning the different stays and activities. Now, these are the excursions we have planned...

Top 10 Highlights from Dublin, Ireland

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...

A Childhood Christmas Tradition

Dec 23, 2021
Megan
Growing up one of my favorite parts about Christmas was actually the day after. Every year my cousin Katie and I would go to Busch Gardens as our Christmas present. It was one of my favorite traditions because we got to spend all day jus the two of us roaming around the park until it closed.

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…

Highlights from Brussels, Belgium

Dec 13, 2021
Katie
In 2018, after poking around in Google Flights’ Explore Tool, I found a great deal on flights that would have us spending Christmas in Brussels. It worked out great because we already had the time off from work, and once our parents accepted that we were not coming home for the holidays, we could make our way to Belgium stress-free. These were the best parts...
