We’re Going to Switzerland!

Mar 25, 2024
Katie
I had been exploring options on Google Flights for possible anniversary trips. Last year, we went to NYC, and I was scoping out some other northern US cities for us; both Chicago, IL, and Boston, MA, were looking appealing with flights in the mid-$200s for this summer. I scrolled over to see what our European options were - you know, just for fun - and I was surprised to find direct flights to Zurich starting in the high-$400s. Um, hello!

After spending three days in Urayasu, we hopped on the shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto. There, we met up with my mother-in-law and spent five rainy days in Kyoto. These are the highlights of our time there, activities and locations I would highly recommend...

Guest Post: Dos and Don’ts of Disney Springs

Mar 12, 2024

Traveling anywhere can be a bit overwhelming, especially when going to places like Disney. Since the parks now have a reservation system, you are less likely to encounter too much chaos whilst inside, but Disney Springs is still very popular and you do not need a ticket or reservation to enter. Meaning - it can get very crowded, very fast. So my very first DO is to arrive early in the day. DON’T arrive several hours early - there is no rope drop ceremony and everything opens at the same time.

Spotlight: teamLab in Tokyo, Japan

Mar 11, 2024
Katie
When we were researching what to do in Tokyo, one thing came recommended over and over again: the teamLab Planets exhibit. It was so much fun, we actually decided we should book tickets for the other teamLab exhibit in Tokyo, which just opened in February 2024: Borderless, a new permanent exhibit.

We’re Going to Ireland: 2024 Edition

Mar 6, 2024
Katie
We just returned from a fabulous trip to Japan yesterday and are adjusting back to Eastern time - that 14-hour time difference is no joke, and our baby girl is pretty sure it’s daytime in the middle of the night. We’ll get there, and there is much, much more to come on all the great things we did during our 2+ week vacation, but first things first: we’re going to Ireland!

Cost Breakout: Weekend at Disney Springs

Jan 17, 2024
Katie
Our son is officially three years old! To celebrate, we decided to go away for the weekend and introduce him to the magic of Disney. We didn’t visit any of the parks this time (he’ll get to experience those next month in Tokyo), but we had a ton of fun at Disney Springs. Here’s how we spent our money over the two days in Orlando...
