Or perhaps more accurately titled, A Study in Pest (since our apartment and everything thing we saw on our first day was in Pest, rather than Buda). Fun fact – I started working on this post yesterday, but the fact that I was finally sitting in one place for an extended period of time with […]

The time is now! We’re at the airport, so now all we need is our plane. The TSA Precheck process once again made the checkin process a breeze, so we did some walking around the airport (and possibly bought a treat at Starbucks) and now we’re waiting to board, which is supposed to start in […]

…the end of waiting for this trip to begin, that is! Yes, that’s right. After months of planning, this trip is happening in less than a week! As a reminder, we’re hitting the following cities: -Budapest, Hungary -Berlin, Germany -Prague, Czech Republic -Munich, Germany -Zurich, Switzerland We’ve been figuring out the final details, like how […]

We finally booked a day trip! I know, I know – not a big accomplishment in the grand scheme of things, but we’ve been waffling on this for awhile now, so it was nice to get it taken care of. Because this year’s trip is shorter than last year’s (two weeks instead of three), we […]

Grenada Instead of Granada This has never happened to me before, but I thought I’d share it here in case it ever happens to any of you! Lesson learned – always confirm your ticket/itinerary so you know exactly where you’re going!

Remember how I posted about this year’s Europe itinerary a little while ago? Well, now that you know what cities we’re going to, we need your help! We’re looking for day trip suggestions from any of our cities and I figured this would be the best place to ask for them. 🙂 We likely won’t take […]

Someone I knew in high school who I’m friends with on Facebook is currently in Warsaw, Poland. Seeing her posts about being there immediately took me back to my trip there in October 2012 (before I started writing this blog, actually!), which made me think of some of the great things I did there so I […]

Good news! After frustrations with finding an apartment for the Zurich leg of this year’s Europe trip, I got us booked into another one. Huzzah! I must say, I’m really pleased with Airbnb’s responsiveness to the issue as well. The owner of the apartment contacted me around the first week of May saying that he […]

We just can’t seem to catch a break when it come to finding an apartment for the Zurich leg of this year’s Europe trip! As we did last year, we’ve been using Airbnb to find places to stay for this trip and they’ve all been a breeze to book except for Zurich. The owner of […]
