no travel required
I got nervous this was us until I realized we haven’t flown anywhere recently, have never flown first class, and aren’t a drunk German couple. Otherwise: demanding more champagne? Could have been us. Flight Diverted Due to “Unruly” Passengers in First Class Requesting Champagne This can also be titled “New Places for The Romantic & The Wino to Lust After.” What? We love a good castle. World’s Prettiest Castle Towns YEP adding these all to our must-do list: 10 places for a boozy brunch in New York City And, in honor of the day: A Martin Luther King Jr. Tour of…

a perfect day at toscana saporita
It’s no secret that we’re food lovers. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a foodie–both because I think that term is silly and because I have been known to choose Shake Shack over Smith & Wollensky–but I definitely appreciate both eating and making good food.

The hubs is currently in Alabama for work (lame), so last night I hunkered down. I made use of my alone time, and conquered a little list.

the traveler’s diet woes
Happy hump day, lovelies! Wednesday typically means two things in the Lazy Traveler universe: wine and Jetsetters. Tragically, this Wednesday, we have neither. GASP! I know what you’re thinking. What went so wrong in our lives that led us to a Wednesday without these two staples? As far as our weekly Jetsetters feature, it’s a lot of work lining them up and we are lazy really busy! As far as the wine…well, this is the most tragic story of them all. We’re in the midst of our annual January Panic. You know the “I ate too many cookies in December and now…
