We’re Going to Japan!

Aug 22, 2023
Katie
About a week and a half ago, I was perusing Google Flights’ Explore tool (as one does) to see what sort of deals were available for next spring. Flights, as a whole, have gotten pricier, so I’ve had to get choosy about what I feel comfortable paying. And then I spotted it - flights from Tampa to Tokyo, only one layover each way, for just under $1k per person.

Our 3.5 Day Itinerary for New York City

Aug 15, 2023
Katie
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!

Jurassic Quest vs Dinosaur World: Which is Better?

Jul 25, 2023
Katie
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...

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

Jul 11, 2023
Katie
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

Jun 29, 2023
Megan
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!

Where to Eat in Helsinki, Finland

Jun 21, 2023
Katie
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...
