I think what people consider “luxury” versus “normal” or even “budget friendly” when it comes to travel is all in the eye of the beholder. To me, saying that something is a “luxury” item when it comes to travel really means that (i) it’s a bit more money than I would normally spend to eat,… Continue reading My Definition of Luxury Travel
As today is my wedding anniversary (16 years), I thought it would be a good time to think about what we would like to do over the next several years. Steve and I have so many places I want to travel to and explore over the next five years. This past year Steve and I… Continue reading Travel Wish List for the Next 5 Years
Last week Steve and I traveled to Oregon for vacation. We spent our first three days on the Northern Oregon Coast at Cannon Beach, which is about a 2.5 hour drive west from Portland. I’ll post a review about the hotel we stayed at on Cannon Beach separately (spoiler alert – we LOVED our hotel)… Continue reading Things to do in Cannon Beach, Oregon
I previously wrote about some of my travel fears, the chief among them being my fear of flying, which I’ve managed to deal with pretty well. I did start thinking about a few others that I have in connection with the link-up, though. Fear of Losing Key Items I can’t think of any worse feeling… Continue reading Travel Fears
Living in Dallas, Texas, we are right in the middle of the country, albeit the southern middle part. So, flights to California are plentiful, usually very reasonably priced and not very long (about 3 hours max). I’ve visited San Diego, Orange County/Laguna Niguel, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley. Still on my”to… Continue reading Dream Hotels – California Edition
Sometimes I randomly check airfare and hotels in certain destinations just to see what the prices are like and occasionally I find a great deal. I often find better deals during the summer to places that are hot – like Phoenix, Austin, Las Vegas or Palm Springs. Steve and I really weren’t planning to go… Continue reading Last Minute Trips and Vacation Deals
I have been to Cancun/Playa del Carmen a few times and Cabo once, which Steve and I loved, and we visited Zihuatanejo once several years ago, which I am sad to say we did not enjoy, but there are many places on my wish list to visit in Mexico. While most of them are beach… Continue reading Dream Hotels – Mexico Edition
Steve and I are between trips right now and our next getaway isn’t until the last day of June when we head to Las Vegas for a long weekend. So, whenever I am in the travel doldrums, I start thinking about where would I like to stay one day? This gave me the idea to… Continue reading Dream Hotels – Caribbean Edition
Most of the time before I leave for vacation, my day goes something like this: Up at 6:00am to get ready and head to work, fighting traffic in an hour+ commute and trying to get in by 8:00/8:30am. Spend the day putting out fires and desperately trying to get as much done as I can… Continue reading How to Ease Into Vacation
We left Dallas on Friday evening and headed to LAX to catch our late night Air Tahiti flight to Papeete. Unfortunately, we flew coach and I have to say that Air Tahiti has probably the narrowest and most uncomfortable coach seats I have experienced in a really long time. The flight from LA is about… Continue reading Moorea, French Polynesia and the Sofitel Ia Orana Hotel
