Do you remember March 2020? Like many, I was stranded at home due to the pandemic but was supposed to be on vacation with my partner in Belgium and Amsterdam. Almost six years to the day, that dream trip finally became reality. We flew non-stop to Amsterdam from Logan Airport in Boston. We took the…
Once a year my sister and I vacation together. We both go with the flow and have a good time doing even the stupidest things, however, neither of us can make decisions and are unwilling to put effort into planning. So, this year we decided to do a bus tour from Connecticut to Saint John,…
Bonjour! Bienvenue a Quebec! This week my partner and I decided to road trip it to Quebec City because it’s roughly a seven-hour drive north of us, it wouldn’t be any hotter than Connecticut and it would feel like a whole new country…well it is, but Canada doesn’t really count. All I knew about Quebec…
When my partner and I were debating where to take our first vacation and flight since the pandemic started, we wanted something low-key and no stress. We settled on Puerto Rico because we could fly direct from the airport a half hour from our house, no customs or passports, no money conversion, and just a…
My sister and I were planning a vacation but not sure where to go or what to do. My sister wanted to go to the Florida Keys to show me around, since it’s one of her favorite places, so that was our original plan. Then flights started getting cancelled and people mentioned it’s Florida’s hurricane…
My partner and I have been talking about visiting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a while. After Boston and New York, it’s the next major city close enough for us to easily get to in a few hours. When Amtrak offered a BOGO deal, we decided now was the time to visit. In my…
In high school I had a geography class where I was given a test with a blank map of the USA and had to fill in the states with their capitals. My teacher believed this was such an important nugget of knowledge that all students who failed had to retest after school every day until…
Last week I went on vacation with my two favorite people, my partner and my sister. We went to Washington DC for five days. We arrived Tuesday afternoon by Amtrak train at Union Station (50 Massachusetts Ave NE). Sure we could have drove in roughly the same amount of time but I wouldn’t drive in…
I never had much interest in visiting Nashville because it’s the country music capital of the world and I’m not much of a country music fan. However, after getting hooked on the TV show Nashville, I decided it was somewhere I’d like to visit. My sister came home a few years back raving about it…
My partner and I had a week off this month and were looking for somewhere to go on vacation. My partner suggested Atlanta, Georgia for a couple reasons. First they have good public transportation (neither of us like to drive when on vacation), secondly it was more in the path of the eclipse than Connecticut,…
