While Rick and I obviously travel frequently together sometimes our vacation time doesn’t always align. Luckily my sister and I are well-matched in our wanderlust! And, even more fortunately for me, she was able to get away and join me on a quick weekend in San Francisco – one of our favorite travel destinations. We

24 hours in Brussels
Chocolate, waffles, beer, and a little statue of a boy peeing (aptly named Manneken Pis), that’s what I knew about Brussels before traveling there. And I was not disappointed by any of the chocolate, waffles, beer, nor my sighting of Manneken Pis dressed up in a little suit. Brussels is such a fun travel destination
24 hours in New Orleans
The home of Mardi Gras, jazz, and vampires, there’s no other city quite like New Orleans! It’s a must-see for any traveler at some point, even if you only have a day in the city. New Orleans, also known as NOLA or the Crescent City, dates back more than 300 years with French and Spanish
24 hours in Mexico City
Rick and I are planning a trip to Cozumel in February and while I’m excited for it, I kind of wish we had the opportunity to spend more time in Mexico and make a return visit to Mexico City! I feel a lot of travelers avoid Mexico City and I just want to tell them how

The Eternal City, or the city we can return to for eternity. Seriously, there’s never a bad time or bad reason to visit Rome. Even if you only have a day to explore it! There are so many things to do in Rome and with being able to walk between major sights or hopping on

With Icelandair’s convenient and cost-effective stopover deal, it’s easier than ever to add a little getaway to this enchanting land with its striking landscapes, friendly people, and exciting things to do. While there, you should definitely include a day in the capital, Reykjavik. It’s a fun yet intimate city that has fun restaurants, good beer,
24 hours in Amsterdam
I’m going to be honest, on my first trip to Amsterdam I wasn’t that excited. Everyone else in our tour group was excited for special cakes and sex shops and I was kind of feeling meh about it. But once I got there and got to explore and experience the city, I loved it! I’ve
Nice two-day itinerary
Ah, the French Riviera! When Rick and I were there I couldn’t help but fall in love with the views, the welcoming people, and that relaxed Mediterranean ambiance. It was one of the highlights of our trip and probably where we got some of our most idyllic photos during our two-week Europe trip. One of
24 hours in San Juan
After a year and a half after Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico is finding its footing again and focused on rebuilding and welcoming tourists back to the island. Puerto Rico is a fantastic tropical destination – and made even better as US citizens don’t need to bring a passport to travel there! With dreamy white sand
