the emotional stages of going on a short trip, as told in GIFs
The saddest, most emotional news: #LTfrancais has come and gone. It wasn’t our shortest international reunion (that prize goes to our twenty-four-hour rendezvous in London back in 2008), but the three days we spent together in France certainly wasn’t long enough. In 72 hours, we bounced around Paris, visited FOUR chateaux, drank approximately 15 bottles of wine, AND the wino even got engaged! BEST. TRIP. EVER. And now… now we’re back to our normal everyday routines, and truth be told, it’s making us just plain miserable. Ohhh the rollercoaster of emotions felt in only a few days time. How’s a…

sneak peek: the medieval city of lausanne
We’re still trying to wrap our minds around the fact that a week ago we left for Switzerland & Ireland. Yesterday we were drinking pints in Dublin! And today we’re… well, not. And in between, we used our Swiss Passes and fell in full-blown love with the charming city of Geneva, the adorable village of Bern, and the medieval city of Lausanne. Being back in New York has never been so miserable! But never fear! We think we have a cure: booze, yes, but also regaling you with tales from our adventure abroad, courtesy of this little blog. While we…

the five stages of vacation withdrawal
It’s been four days since I’ve returned from the Jersey Shore, and I have to admit, I’m fully consumed by vacation withdrawal. As a travel enthusiast and ardent advocate of weekend getaways, I’m very familiar with the sequence of emotions that takes place after a really great trip. I had full intentions of writing up a detailed vacation recap for you. But since I can’t break out of the funk I’ve gotten myself into the past couple of days, I thought I’d share with you a breakdown of the withdrawal process. Plus, of course, a few ways I’ve learned to…

i got the blues!
Help me, travelers! I had a three day taste of summer and now I’m having a majorly difficult time getting back to my old routine in Rockville. In three short days in Barnegut Light, I managed to completely remove myself from real life and reach the ultimate stage of relaxation. I imagine this had a lot to do with the amount of beer and ice cream I may have consumed. Besides the embarrassing amount of calories I absorbed, my weekend looked a lot like this: After looking at these photos, can anyone blame me for my post-vacation blues? Any advice…

aaaand she’s back!
Happy Monday! SOOO… little bit of a shock back into reality, and I’m not loving it. Between all the real-job procrastinating the wino did last week to maintain the blog, and my own absence from real life, today was the worst. Sorry for our lack of posting/tweeting/general ability to entertain you, but lots of posts and pictures to come, I swear it. Our trip was amazing and I can’t wait to share! Since we also were slacking on No Travel Required today, I’ll at least supply you with a photo of the day. A Hipstamatic photo of the day from…
