I don't really even know where to begin. I literally was just cleaning up my photos from 2017. That's two years ago. It just hasn't been a priority and to be honest, in part, it's because 2017 was just great. We went to Mauritius and the Seychelles, two of our dream destinations, … [Read more...]
It’s Been Six Months…
Though I decided to renew my hosting, I didn't renew my interest in blogging.... In the last six months, so much has happened: slightly different job, new house and lots of insanity in the middle. Staging a house and buying a house is quite the adventure, but now that we are … [Read more...]
Exploring Nordic Cuisine at (the One Michelin Starred) “Relae” in Copenhagen
I love to try new food, and when we started planning our trip to Copenhagen I figured it was a great opportunity to try out a restaurant in the city. I chose Relae, and carefully stalked their website 2 months in advance (when future reservations open) so I could have a … [Read more...]
Tivoli Gardens at Christmas: Full of Lights & Holiday Cheer
Tivoli was said to inspire Walt Disney before he created his theme parks, and it is easy to see why. It is charming in every way. Its beautiful, a tad quirky, and suitable for adults and children alike. At Christmas, it turns into a spectacle of lights, snow, and elves. It's a … [Read more...]
Le Meridien Fisherman’s Cove in Mahe, Seychelles
We planned to use points for our entire trip to Mauritius and the Seychelles, and Le Meridien was the only Starwood or Marriott property in the Seychelles, so the Le Meridien it was! The Le Meridien was much smaller than the hotels we stayed at in Mauritius (the St. Regis and the … [Read more...]

I'd never been to visit any of the Christmas-festivities in Europe before, so we decided to head to Copenhagen to check out Tivoli and the Christmas markets around the city. We spent a long weekend exploring Copenhagen--which I loved. It's probably my favorite European city thus … [Read more...]
Quick Review of the Longchamp Expandable Tote – The Perfect Road Trip Bag
There are a couple of travel purchases I made last year that I really feel are worth their weight (and cash), so I'm going to be highlighting them here over the next few months. If gear posts aren't for you, don't worry, there is also travel content (and maybe some triathlon … [Read more...]
Quick Trip to Atlanta: The AC Hotel (by Marriott) & the Georgia Aquarium
Back in late November, I headed to Atlanta on a quick trip for a work conference. I hadn't been to Atlanta in years. Atlanta is...interesting. Downtown is a dead zone on weekends. And I saw more shoplifting in 3 days there than I've seen in 3 years in DC. It isn't my favorite … [Read more...]
Visiting the Archaeological Site of El Cano in Panama
As I mentioned in my last Panama post, I made it about two days before I wanted to go do something. I had read about the archeological site of El Cano, and we decided to hire a car to drive over and explore for the morning. It was about an hour drive from the resort. We … [Read more...]
2017 Wrap Up & Obligatory Stats Post – It’s Been a Busy Year
As our Christmas card said, 2017 was a year full of traveling and triathlons. I'm glad it was a great year of both, as it seems like 2018 is going to bring some changes and probably significantly less time/ability to travel due to work. I knew this day would come, and I think … [Read more...]
