A Year in Review

Wow! Can you believe we are at the end of another year?! While this was another crazy year, we did start to see some light from 2020. Travel started to open up as vaccines became more available but that also provided a ton of new hurdles with testing, vaccination records, and constant rule changes because of COVID. But as we continue to evolve with our ever-changing world, travel has too as well. And I am excited for all the adventures I had in 2021 and even more excited for what’s to come in 2022. Let’s take a trip down memory lane.

Katie’s 2021 Travel Wrap Up

2020 taught us a lot, but 2021 even more, despite it being the quietest year for travel I've had in a long time. In January of this year, we had our son - and if road tripping while pregnant was tricky, taking any sort of trip with the baby hit a whole new level. I made just three major trips this year...

My Top 5 Caribbean Islands

I think it comes as no surprise to most of you who follow our blog, that I love to travel to the Caribbean. I love everything from the crystal clear waters, to the food and culture, to all the wonderful outdoor adventures you can have. Some of my favorite spots in the world can be found in the Caribbean. Here are my top 5 recommendations for those looking for an island to visit!

Spotlight: Gallagher’s Pumpkins and Christmas Trees

It seems like everyone I know has been enjoying fun fall activities, like corn mazes (you can find a great one at Sweetfields Farm) and pumpkin patches. After seeing Gallagher’s Pumpkins and Christmas Trees pop up a few times on social media, I told my husband that we needed to make a trip over. They’re family-owned and operated by the Gallagher family, who clearly takes pride in their tree and pumpkin patch. We went this past weekend, and it’s now clear why they’re so popular.

How to Choose a Bachelorette Party Destination

When I was planning my bachelorette party with my MOH, Sara, it became clear that a cruise out of Tampa to Cozumel, Mexico, was going to be the best option for a few reasons. Not only was it a surprisingly affordable option for my early to mid-20s friends, but it also provided us with a ton of activities and entertainment to enjoy, without needing to be all together 24/7. And, of course, it was something that I knew I would like! When choosing a bachelorette party destination, there are several things to consider...

A Long Weekend in Charlotte Itinerary

This past weekend I took a small trip up to Charlotte to knock a few things off my to-do list. Most importantly I visited one of my best friends from college to celebrate her baby girl due next month. I was also able to see my very best friend who lives in South Carolina and get to explore a new city with another great friend in between. So many memories were made this weekend, and my heart is so full. If you are looking to take a little or big trip to Charlotte here is our itinerary for the weekend.

Where in the World is Megan?

As you read on my post last week, I am officially back to cruising. This time I am on my first Celebrity ship and one of their newest, the Celebrity Edge. Famous for their “magic carpet” and first American female Captain, Kate McCue and her hairless cat Bug (find her on TikTok, its worth it). This has been a cruise line my family and I have been eyeing for years.

I’m Setting Sail!

Come July 17th, I will be officially in my happy place; on the open ocean setting sail for a new adventure. Now that cruising is back (well sort of), my family and I could not wait to get back on board. While this may not be the make up Europe cruise, we had planned for 2020, I am just thankful to be taking my first full week vacation since 2019! It is long over do.
