I had been obsessed with visiting India for almost 20 years by the time I moved to Bahrain, so obviously it was at the top of our “to go” list from the beginning. The country is so vast and magical that you definitely need more than a few days to even get a feel for […]
I have never been very good at packing light, and packing for summer in Spain last year seemed particularly daunting, since I knew I was going to have to haul my own suitcases through hotels and train stations in Barcelona and Valencia before heading to the US (with those same suitcases)! Plus, since I was […]
Last year, my friend Patty and I decided to take a free military flight to Europe and do a girls’ road trip in Southern Spain for about five days. We visited Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada and Rota before heading home, and it was an awesome trip! Because we weren’t 100 percent sure we’d even get on […]
I’ve visited the Louvre in Paris several times, and was thrilled to be able to visit the brand new Abu Dhabi Louvre. But I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first time my family and I visited the Paris Louvre, it took us 20 minutes to figure out how to get inside (FYI: the entrance […]
Are y’all doing anything for Valentine’s Day? We are going on a trip to an extremely romantic and amazing location, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! But, planning the trip got me thinking about the most romantic places I’ve ever visited, and in honor of the most heart-filled holiday, I wanted […]
Many years ago — long before Magic Bands, rose gold mouse ears, and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train — Toby and I went to Disney World. It was the first time he had ever been to a Disney park, and the first time I had been since my high school graduation. We were going to […]
Everything about Dubai — from buildings to brunches — is super luxe and over-the-top, so it’s not suprising that their New Year’s Eve celebration is one of the most opulent (and popular) in the world. But we learned last year that you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars or stand outside for 18 hours to […]
Bahrain’s location has made it a center for trade for centuries, and the Bahrain Fort — a UNESCO World Heritage site — is a Portugeuse-built structure on the site of the capital of an ancient civilization. It was built between the 15th and early 17th century, and is a must-visit if you’re in Bahrain. It […]
We love Disney, and they have the best fireworks ever. So when we found out we were moving overseas last summer, we knew we had to spend July 4th in the most magical place on Earth before leaving the U.S. It was a fantastic trip, and I would definitely do it again if we have […]
I’ve never been much of a lake person. Maybe it’s the murky water, or the fact that my idea of a “lake” growing up was a man-made MTV Spring Break destination, but I’ve never been super pumped about going to a lake. This wasn’t helped by the fact that shortly after my family moved to […]
