the top five reasons we deserve a bloggie
So listen. We weren’t going to make a big deal out of this — we’ve mentioned it once in passing here, and once on Facebook, and maybe a few times on Twitter. Really, we were just gonna play coy and see what happened. Let the chips fall where they may and what have you. But the more we’ve talked about it, the more we’ve realized: this is kind of a big deal. On March 1st, it came to our attention that we are one of five Best Travel Weblog finalists for The 2014 Bloggies. This has happened once before. Last…

(Sorry, we know you totally have that stuck in your head now.)

travel announcement: la france!
Paris is always a good idea. At least that’s what I believe. And apparentlyyy, so does my boyfriend. After telling me for months that our schedules — and more importantly, our wallets — wouldn’t allow for a trip to visit the romantic and the hubs until at least 2014, my boyfriend finally convinced me that Paris just wasn’t in the cards. Cue my twenty-eighth birthday, which apparently is the best and most important of all the birthdays, because I received the best surprise I’ve ever received in my entire life.

travel announcement: st thomas!
Hear ye! Hear ye! It feels like ages since the last time I could post one of these, and I can hardly contain my excitement so I’m just going to spit it out. In April, I’ll be traveling for the very first time to beautiful St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands! Hasn’t one of you already been to St. Thomas, you ask? Why yes, the romantic DID visit St. Thomas, and yes, she DID sleep on a sailboat. While her nights on the open water under the stars certainly earned her some medals of honor, I was looking for…
