That Time When… We Got Free FC Barcelona Tickets

I came into the downtown Tampa office on a seemingly normal Wednesday morning and found that our office Slack channel was blowing up because, since Rakuten is currently an FCB sponsor, we had some tickets up for grabs for the game. I quickly texted my husband Tyler to see if he wanted to go - after all, our club seats would include dinner and drinks, but it did mean leaving work early and driving to Miami in just a few hours.

That Time When… We Were Almost Mugged

Last September, my husband Tyler and I went with his parents to Puerto Rico. We stayed for a few days in Rincón, which is on the west coast of the island and known for its gorgeous beaches. Overall, we had an awesome time drinking from coconuts and sampling local delicacies, like stingray empanadas and mofongo. However, in a very scary moment on the trip, we also almost got mugged.

That Time When I Went to Vegas… With My Parents

Vegas had been one of those destinations that I knew I needed to visit, but it wasn’t at the top of the bucket list. So when my dad had a 3-day convention there last April, I knew I had to take advantage of the free hotel room and the general mooching that happens when you vacation with your parents. Plus, I had just gotten a new job and found no better way to celebrate (and use up the rest of my vacation time) than a 5-day trip to Las Vegas.
