I don’t know where to begin when trying to tell you how absolutely incredible this trip was last weekend. Should I begin with talking about the city? Or the food? Or my family? Or meeting all of these long-lost distant relatives? Or should I tell you about the absolutely incredible wedding I went to? So […]
Part I and Part II here, if you haven’t read yet. On our final full day in Tenerife, we wanted to go visit some other towns and explore more of the island. We had plans to hit three towns in the north, but only made it to one. But primero, breakfast! And then we got […]
Just checking in? Here is Part I. We woke up on Saturday morning and started with breakfast and coffee. As you might imagine, it was a sloooow start for some of us (me). I actually didn’t have coffee since I couldn’t stomach it. Once we were somewhat fueled up, we packed our bags and headed […]
Spain is famous for a lot of things (siestas, flamenco dancing, paella, wine, olives), annnnnd it’s beaches. The majority of Spain is surrounded by water, except for that little annoying bit that keeps it attached to the rest of Europe ;). So anyway, there are a lot of beaches and a lot of really incredible […]
You’re here because you want to go to the best, non-touristy restaurant in Paris. You want to eat what the Parisians eat, without using up your entire paycheck. You’re in the right place because I am about to tell you about the best restaurant in Paris! That title doesn’t even do this place justice, as […]
Since I only had plans for the first half of Semana Santa, I really wanted to take advantage of the open days of the second half of the week and do some exploring. I had never been to Segovia, even though it’s an easy day trip from Madrid, so I dragged Luis and we went […]
Our final leg of the trip was for 1.5 days in Dublin. Strangely enough, when we told anyone that we were heading to Dublin after Galway, their reaction was always “noooo, don’t go to Dublin!!!”. We started to doubt whether we made a bad choice by including Dublin in our itinerary, but can you go […]
On our second day in Galway, we booked an all-day tour to The Cliffs of Moher, with various stops along the way. From the time we began planning our trip, we knew that the Cliffs of Moher was one site we definitely wanted to see, so we were all really excited for this. Spoiler alert: it was […]
What a whirlwind the last few days have been! Last we left off, Shannon and Teresa were here for about a day and a half before we picked up and headed into greener pastures- Ireland! We had a late afternoon flight, which had us touching down in Dublin at 7 pm before quickly getting on […]
Morocco isn’t like the other cities you’ve traveled to in Europe, therefore, knowing what to take to Morocco can be tricky. There isn’t a corner pharmacy to buy medications, big supermarkets for your favorite foods and drinks, public bathrooms when you need to go, and easy public transportation to help you get around. There isn’t a […]
