jetsetters: AP
This week’s jetsetter is the godmother every girl needs and the wino is lucky to call her own. Rarely seen without a glass of Pinot Grigio in hand, AP is known in the family for her humor, fashion sense, and signature Mary Poppins-esque bags that always produce whatever you need- regardless of the scenario (see below.) She rocks Chanel, has the largest shoe and accessories collection I’ve ever seen in real life, and enjoys jetsetting with her handsome husband. She’s Karen Walker a la Will & Grace – with a heart a gold. Favorite Place: Can’t say. There are so many…

euro adventure // a 10 day trip to amsterdam, bruges, brussels, & london
The hubs & I are just nine days away from our trip to Amsterdam, Bruges, Brussels, and London! Flights are booked, hotel rooms are reserved, and train tickets from Brussels to London are secured. So, since I’m sure you’re wondering “how DOES she do it?!!?” I’m going to tell you. Even if you’re not wondering that. Which I realize, you’re probably not wondering that at all. But, hear me out because we really do have a method to our lazy madness. Since we’ll be there for 10 travel days, we really don’t like to leave EVERYTHING to chance. We always…

Because we only had a long weekend and a very limited budget, we chose to stay in Ireland — Galway was an easy…

beer > oscar wilde
You all know the story- While studying abroad in Paris, Gram took me on an eight-day tour of Italy, stopping in Milan, Florence, Venice, and Rome. We saw the Uffizi, we saw David, we toured the ruins and Vatican City, and thanks to Gram’s meticulous planning, we successfully packed weeks worth of tourist sites in eight short days. On our last night, Gram scheduled in free time for me to visit with friends studying in Rome. Six “vodka ananas” later, I was falling down in the cobbled streets of Trastavere. Flash to the next day, when Gram’s last day of…

travel tweets and the travelers who tweet them
With my trip only two short weeks away from today (eee!!), one thing has me both excited and anxious: disconnecting from my New York life. I’m refusing to go international on my blackberry, and this is the first time I’m going away while working somewhere that generally expects me to be available at all times. Sure I’ll be able to check in every few days, and I don’t think this will really be a problem, but it has heightened my awareness when it comes to people who stay connected while traveling… especially on Twitter & Facebook and, as is standard…
