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 […]

One of the things Scott and I talked about after our trip was creating a photo book to commemorate the trip. I’ve made books for three previous trips and, while I loved the idea, I just wasn’t motivated to put one together! Although creating a book is a fun process, it’s a good amount of […]

I’ve hinted at this a few times, but it’s time to confirm it – we will be returning to Europe in 2014! Not much of a surprise, I know, but Soctt and I have been planning this out for awhile and now that we’ve got some stuff booked, today felt like a good day to […]

Although it feels like I just got back from Mexico last week (okay, it was a week ago tomorrow), I really did just get back from Philadelphia earlier today. I had a bit of a travel whirlwind between being on vacation in Mexico for a week and then having to fly out to Philly for […]

If you’ve done multiple loads of laundry, picked up your dog from the sitter, and wished you had more/better food in the house, you may have just gotten back from a vacation! I know those are all things I’ve experienced in the last 24 hours, at least! In case you haven’t already figured it out, […]

After the rain we experienced on Tuesday, it was great to have a cooler day on Wednesday. The temperature hovered right around 79-80 all day and there was a nice breeze, so it was noticeably cooler. Fine by me! Because of the sunburn on my shoulders, I kept the upper half of my body in […]

Our fifth day in Mexico didn’t actually turn out to be that great because the one thing happened that you never want to happen on a beach vacation. It RAINED! We were able to enjoy most of the morning, even though it was on the cloudy side and there were some sprinkles a few times. […]

It’s amazing how different this trip is to the ones I normally take. I’m having a lot of fun, but there are only so many ways to say that we’re having fun in the sun. So let’s try saying it in a haiku: Much fun in the sun Enjoying this Cancun trip Hope it never […]
