While most of the world drives on the right side of the road, there are many popular destinations that like to switch things up by driving on the left. My first encounter with this was in Ireland and then later when I studied abroad in London. I never drove in either of these places, so [...]
I have to say that I’ve been spending way too much money on visas this year. We first went to India in January on our honeymoon so we both had to get 6 month visas to enter the country ($76). Now we will be returning to India again in February ($76). We are also going [...]
A few weeks ago, I shared some tips for earning frequent flier miles. Next up is how to use these frequent flier miles to actually fly for free (also known as “award travel”). It is absolutely true that earning miles is only half the battle. You can accumulate miles forever and ever, but actually using [...]
I’m pretty bad at learning languages. I took Spanish for 5 years in high school and 1 year in college and I can carry on a conversation that a four year old would have. I can cover the following: The weather, but only if its sunny or snowing. Maybe raining. I could probably guess at [...]
As I boarded the plane to Costa Rica, the scan of Dave’s boarding pass showed that he was now sitting in seat 4D, not 21E as his old boarding pass had said. Well, 4D is pretty close to the front, which meant that my loving husband had been upgraded to first class while I was [...]
Warning: this doesn’t always work, but when it does…it is so so worth it Returning on Air France from a whirlwind trip around the Czech Republic, Hungary and the Balkans, Dave and I had a layover in Paris on our way back to New York. The layover was short, certainly not enough time to leave [...]
With all of the sadness and emotional energy spent on my grandmother’s passing, I obviously haven’t given a thought to planning any of our 1-year anniversary vacation to Costa Rica. Who could think of booking fun activities at a time like that? Well, its rather inevitable though, and unless we want to land in Costa [...]
My intentions recently have been to write a post most days of the week, but news I received last Wednesday halted everything. I got word from my aunt that my grandmother had taken a turn for the worst and that I should probably come up to Boston. I waited for rush hour to end in [...]
After taking a honeymoon that used up my entire year’s worth of vacation time before the end of January, I haven’t had the opportunity to travel much this year. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to escape though, so weekend trips have held me over until my vacation days are replenished in January. In March [...]
I had a post lined up for today that focused on my upcoming trip to Costa Rica, but it seems more fitting to reflect on Steve Jobs’ passing and the ways in which he revolutionized technology and communication. I first went to Europe when I was 12 years old. My grandparents took me to see [...]
So you’re going to be on vacation and you’re going to be taking photos, but you don’t want to look like you left every hair care tool you own back at home. Blow-dryers and straightening irons take up a ton of space in your suitcase, so if space is an issue, you may forgo bringing [...]
Whether you can read the language or not, signs in other countries are often incomprehensible. Yesterday my job had me working on languages that do not use Latin characters – namely, I was looking at Cyrillic for quite some time. If you’ve never seen Cyrillic, just imagine that someone took the regular alphabet, added some numbers, [...]
