I have mixed feelings about this post. On one hand, I want to share my incredible experience and hope that it inspires others but I also kind of want to keep this all to myself. The more exclusive my experience stays, the fancier I feel. But y’all – I want…
This post is a long time coming. It says a lot about Finca la Azul that it’s been nearly a year since we’ve stayed here and it’s still on my mind. This could also have something to do with the fact that all our other vacations got canceled due to…
The Uco Valley is a large wine region about an hour south of the city of Mendoza and is well known for its Malbec wine. It has seen unprecedented growth in the past couple of decades but despite that, is still very rural and spread out. However, don’t expect to…
It’s here, the final day trip from Austin. We’re heading north to Georgetown, Texas! I’ve already posted about going South to New Braunfels, West to breweries, and East to parks so it’s only fitting to end with a day trip that incorporates a little bit of everything in its own…
We’re going East of Austin, Texas for part three of my four part “directional” day trips series. You can get an early start and squeeze all the sights in or just pick one to make a day trip on its own. I’ve already posted about heading South to New Braunfels…
This is part two of my four part series on day trips from Austin, Texas – one from each direction: north, south, east, west. Last week I posted about driving south to New Braunfels and now we’re going west – towards breweries, distilleries, wineries, and wide open hill country views.…
This is the first in a four part series about day trips you can take from Austin, Texas. In each post I’ll showcase a fun destination that’s just a short drive away from Austin in one of the four compass directions: north, south, east, west. First up – heading South.…
Relaxed, rejuvenated, and reporting back: staycation 2020 was a resounding success! I posted a couple of weeks ago with ideas for how we were going to improve upon staycation 2019 and it actually helped us a lot. What did we do on staycation? It was certainly easy to skip doing…
I fully meant to spend more time blogging about our trip to Korcula island, off the coast of Croatia but Christmas came, and other trips just sort of pushed it out of mind. What a shame because this one deserves some reliving.
We’re all trapped in our homes now, canceling vacations, wishing we were somewhere else, trying to stave off cabin fever. With Memorial Day weekend coming up soon, it seems even more weird to not have a quick trip planned or at least some local socializing on the books. Enter: staycation.…
Soul mate, dog mom, little sister; curious pragmatist and dedicated budgeter. I love traveling and I love planning and have managed to interweave both into my career and personal life. I’ve lived in 3 countries, traveled to over 41 more and have worked for a decade planning off site business functions and incentive events. Read more…
