Day Trip to the Berkshires
This trip was unplanned…. My aunt called me last minute and asked if I’d accompany her to Claremont, MA for an overnight girls trip. Needless to say I have no regrets. I went straight from work on Friday and met her at Gypsy Apple Bistro for dinner. This was a cute restaurant in downtown Shelburne…

Saturday/Sunday in Miami
Have you ever played Grand Theft Auto Vice City? I felt like I was in that game the whole trip. We had a bit of a late start on Saturday. But our first stop of the day was a restaurant called Bacon Bitch about a 5 minute walk from our hotel. We googled the area…

Miami Miami
Days and nights blend into one another here in Miami. Our first day was rather eventful. We had major drama with our hotel. Allow me to explain. We arrived at Miami International Airport about 10:35 pm Thursday night. As you can imagine, we all had long days before hand. Some of us had to work,…

Miami Vice
It’s that time again folks. It’s time for Miami! This trip is all about my baby cousin Shannon. She just turned 21 yesterday and wanted to do something special. So me being the wanderluster that I am, we had to get on a plane. With this Polar Vortex at hand, this is the perfect time…

Last Day in Iceland
Where do I begin….. I’m back home now. And absolutely everyone has been asking how I liked it. As I’ve been saying over and over, I loved it. I honestly can’t put it into words. Iceland is one of the most unique places on this planet. It’s so far removed from the rest of the…

Day 1 in Iceland
We arrived in Keflavík safely at 04:55. We flew on Wow Air, which is an Icelandic airline. The plane was a bit small for my taste. I’m only 5’3″ and my legs were cramped. But the ride was very smooth. I guess you get what you pay for. Again our tickets were only $260 a…

Today’s the day!
I’m currently sitting in the airport terminal. I guess now is as good a time as any to address all the potential questions you may have. Why Iceland, why now, who am I traveling with, what will I be doing there, etc. My travel companions for this trip are my BEST friend Eliza and my…
Got any book recommendations?
