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.

What to Do When An Airline Changes Your Flight

Our research and trip almost came to a halt when I got the email two weeks ago that the airline had changed our flights. Every single leg of our trip had changed, and we lost several hours in San Francisco - while gaining several hours on a layover in LAX. We had to decide what to do, figuring we had three options to choose from.

Tips for Flying Budget Airlines

If you are anything like me, I am always looking for a deal or a way to save money while traveling. While flying is one of more expensive parts of traveling, there are still ways to save money. One of those ways is flying with a budget airline. While I do not recommend flying long haul budget flights, I do think they are a great option for short trips.

How to Save Money on Gas

Any of my recent travel has been done by car, which has meant I needed to do some new research on traveling cheaply, including how to save money on gas. Especially when you’re planning a road trip, these tips can save you some serious cash, leaving you with more money to spend on the rest of your trip!

What Travel in 2020 Taught Me

For the last few years, I’ve kept a list on my phone of all the states and countries I went to during that year, as a nice reminder of all the new places I’ve gone. I was looking at my 2020 list, and while it is far from what I’d imagined at the beginning of the year, I realized that I still learned a lot about both the places around me and travel in general. These are the travel learnings I’m taking into the new year and moving forward.
