I absolutely love Halloween and the month of October. Like those that are enthusiastic about Christmas, my decorating slowly creeps into the end of the month before the holiday so I can get a full month of Halloween decor and fun. I’m not a fan of scary movies throughout the rest of the year, but
Things to do
Planning a Sandals honeymoon
After our first stay at a Sandals in April 2017, it was pretty much decided that this was where we wanted to do our honeymoon. (See our review of Sandals South Coast for more info on our first trip there!) From the relaxing beachfront locations to the romantic resort vibe, a Sandals resort is the
Bucket List: Costa Rica
This month, our bucket list destination is Costa Rica! While we’ve definitely been on plenty of tropical getaways in the Caribbean, we’ll need to head to Central America in the next few years and see why Costa Rica is such a popular vacation destination.

24 hours in Barcelona

With historic castles, breathtaking architecture, beautiful forests, and flavorful food complemented with a light Czech lager, I simply cannot wait until the day we get the chance to discover the Czech Republic for ourselves!

Amsterdam on a budget
Amsterdam is a popular choice for many European vacationers and for a good reason. It’s got a great culture, friendly people, interesting architecture, delicious food (pancakes or brownies, anyone?), as well as plenty of outdoor activities like biking and cruising the canals to keep you busy. With so many things to do in Amsterdam, it’s
A two-day Rome itinerary
I know it seems impossible to see the Eternal City in just two days but if the opportunity comes along to visit Rome, even just for two days, you take it! Rick and I certainly did with our most recent trip to Europe and it was worth the long days to explore this amazing city.
A couples’ weekend in Vegas
Back in my youth (OK, like seven years ago) I loved going to Vegas with my girlfriends to chill by the pool with some cocktails, albeit expensive cocktails, go see some guys take off their clothes perfectly choreographed to music, and finally stumble back to the hotel in the wee hours of the morning.
