Whoopsies, I ended my last post with "be back tomorrow to recap the wedding!", and that was.... 8 days ago. 😆 The short version of our Mexico trip is that it was essentially a 4 day long PARTY. Haha. It was a bit intense!! And also very fun. But I didn't have too much alone… Continue reading Oops, a very delayed wedding recap
As I said last night, today (Friday November 14) is the wedding day! The mothers of the bride and groom and the bridesmaids and finally the bride were all going to be having their hair and makeup done at the house we’re staying at. The moms had the first appts- 8 am!! The mother of… Continue reading Mexico- wedding day prep!
Well I have officially blown my NaBloPoMo streak to heck over here, haven’t I! Yesterday (Wednesday) we had an early 6:30 am flight out of Madison. On a side note, I swear that for someone who travels quite regularly I am literally the worst packer in the world and no matter WHAT I do or… Continue reading Hola desde México
There's been a lot of talk lately "in the world" (or at least, my world) about travel hacking and credit card rewards and ways to optimize these things to save significantly on annual travel expenses. It is very impressive what some people seem to be able to do with this! From afar, it definitely seems… Continue reading Travel hacking…this feels like Costco to me…
Sunday, October 12 Looking back to Day 4, you'll remember that Sarah and I closed down The Library pub on Saturday night. 😅 As such, we were looking forward to a lazy Sunday morning. We'd been pretty busy and active so far, and I think we both liked the idea of a little time to… Continue reading Days 5-6 Nova Scotia: Medford Beach!!!, winery lunch, more fall fun and goodbyes…
Saturday, October 11 Saturday was Sarah's first full day in Nova Scotia, and of course Elisabeth had Plans for us!! I feel like this day ended up being the perfect mish-mash day, or, as noted in the title, an "amazing fall smorgasbord". I LOVE these types of days on vacation. Of course, it can be… Continue reading Day 4 Nova Scotia: an amazing fall smorgasbord!
Friday, October 10 I slept quite gloriously in my King sized bed and woke up on Friday to shower and get ready in my beautiful room. We had some loose plans in the morning, but the big ticket plan was picking up SHU from the airport!! And then, assuming her travel all went smoothly, we’d… Continue reading Day 3 Nova Scotia! SHU + Peggy’s Cove (and more)
Thursday, October 9 After a good night’s sleep, I woke up, showered and got ready for our day’s adventures, while Elisabeth shuttled kids out the door and off to school. We had a light breakfast (leftover homemade biscuit and peanut butter and tea for me) and Elisabeth took care of a few things on her… Continue reading Day 2: Nova Scotia! Cape Split, brewery lunch and more
Ahhhhh, I have been dying to start writing recaps because I’m just bursting to share how incredible these last few days have been, but I have also been just too busy actually EXPERIENCING all of the awesomeness, so… I just haven’t had time! 🙂 Obviously. 🙂 I have a sliver of time right now though… Continue reading Day 1: Nova Scotia!!
Good morning! According to the handy dandy “countdown timer” at the top of my screen courtesy of the United app, I have 28:43 minutes until my next flight starts boarding. As such, I’m currently sitting in a pleasantly uncrowded lounge area eating a surprisingly tasty egg and cheese sandwich with breakfast potatoes. Evidence exhibit A… Continue reading Hi from Newark… it’s happening!
GRATEFUL KAE
