LOL ok. I think I’m finally emotionally ready to write about this part of the trip. For awhile, I was kind of sick of rehashing it, and I felt like every time I brought it up or someone asked about it, I was manifesting something. After a little break, and having to recently tell the story again last weekend, I feel a little bit … Read More The Stanley Hotel and Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

This was a trip for Sage’s 30th birthday weekend. For years, he wanted to do Vegas, but similarly to my situation with Mardi Gras/NOLA, he felt that was going to be very anticlimactic during the pandemic. I think it could have been pretty cool for it to be not as crowded, but it’s still a fair assessment, and he’s the birthday boy. In lieu … Read More Denver, Red Rocks and The Source Hotel

Obviously, there are a ton of resorts to choose from on Miami Beach. I spent a lot of time sorting through a bunch of them, trying to find something reasonably priced with a ~vibe~. Bonus points were given for South Beach, since I’ve never actually stayed there. The last time I went to Miami was spring break junior year of college. I stayed for … Read More Miami Beach and Moxy South Beach Review

My mom and stepdad bought a place in Lake Worth, Florida, just south of West Palm Beach, about a year ago. Please make no mistake: when I heard this news, it was potentially the best day of my life. (After having been down there, I still can’t believe it’s real and that my immediate family has a vacation home.) But, covid has certainly thrown … Read More West Palm Beach & Lake Worth, Florida: My First Visit to My Parents’ New Vacation Home

Let me start off by saying: this trip to Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia was probably the most fully successful trip Jannah and I have ever had. We’ve been to Davis, WV / Tucker County before. Back in 2018 we went to Blackwater Falls. While breathtakingly beautiful, it was a very Jannah-and-Rachel trip in that we probably went about it in the most … Read More Leaf Peeping in Dolly Sods

Up until this trip, and not unlike everyone else, I was stuck at home for months due to Covid-19. While I didn’t feel comfortable getting on a plane just yet, I had to get away from my home office (a.k.a. living room), have some relaxation time. I stumbled upon the Bavarian Inn on Instagram a little over a year ago and had been wanting … Read More COVID Getaway at Bavarian Inn, Near Harpers Ferry

This trip was the first time my passport’s been stamped since I went to Italy in 2013. I did a ton of international travel growing up with my family, so while I’d love to do more traveling abroad as an adult, it really just hasn’t been something I’ve felt the need to prioritize financially for the first several years after graduating from college. Now, … Read More Baby’s First Toronto Trip

In some of my other posts, I’ve mentioned I have a hard time justifying spending thousands of dollars on a vacation, but I still manage to travel a good bit. I’m lucky, because I have family and friends in all different areas of the United States. More often than not, this allows me a place to crash and saves the cost of spending ~$200 … Read More Adventures in West Hollywood, Los Angeles
