Packing for the Trip

It is not very often that we get to go for a trip without the kids, but this weekend is our chance to do so.  I think it has been at least two years since we left the last time, and I am so excited about having this break.  We have my mother-in-law coming to […]

Looking for Travel Deals

I don’t want to think that I am cheap by any means, but sometimes, my budget just doesn’t allow for an expensive vacation.  So, I do some research to find deals on accommodations so that the trip is less painful on my wallet.
A good example of this research would be what I did when I […]

Traveling to the Big Apple

After watching many television shows and movies that highlight New York, I thought it was time that I take a trip there.  I have a couple of days booked for holidays in a couple of weeks, and I think I will take a trip to the Big Apple.
But, I don’t want to go there unprepared.  […]

Settling Down

I have always been a bit of a drifter. In that, I mean that I was never content to be in one place for very long. When I finished high school, I decided to go backpacking through Europe for a month and I never ended up coming home for over a year. This is how […]

Getting Ready for a Business Trip

It seems like it hasn’t been very long since my last business trip, but it is time to go on another one again.  This time, I will be going to Toronto for a marketing conference for the week, and it looks like it should be pretty interesting.
I ended up needing some new luggage as my […]

Traveling to Brazil

We have been planning a vacation for the fall for some time now.  You see, we have come across a little extra money that we were not expecting, and we figured that it would be best used for a memorable experience, instead of something practical.
So, we have decided to travel to Brazil in October.  We […]

Finally Going on our Honeymoon

We have been saving up for the past three years to finally have the chance to go away for our honeymoon.  You see, when we got married, there was little time and little money for us to go anywhere - and we couldn’t get the time off of work.  But at that time, we vowed […]

Traveling Stresses Me Out

Planning a trip is very strenuous for me. I am always worried that things will not go as planned. I worry about missing flights, losing luggage and lost hotel reservations. I am what most people would call a worry wart and my husband says that I am not happy if I do not have something […]

Getting Around While Traveling

I have gone on many trips in my life.  Most of the time I bring my own car on the trip if it is a short distance to my destination (think a day or two drive).  But, I really miss having my own car if I fly somewhere, and usually need to rent a car. […]

Overlooked European Travel Resource

When a lot of travelers go to Europe for a vacation, they just make their reservations and trip itinerary through their travel agent.  The good thing about doing it this way is that everything is ready for you and you don’t have to worry about anything.
But the one thing you have to consider is that […]
