When my husband, friends, and I flew to Paris to attend a wedding in Germany, we enjoyed high speed train travel between pre- and post- wedding destinations such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Paris.

I never really cared to visit Amsterdam, or at least, it wasn’t on the top of my travel bucket list. So when my husband, friends, and I traveled to Germany for a wedding, we collectively decided to travel via high speed train from Paris, and we would visit a few other cities while we were […]

This antebellum plantation, featured in Interview with a Vampire, is as lovely in person as it was on film. […]

Every year for our anniversary, my husband and I usually go on a cruise. However this March we are going on a big cruise for my 40th birthday (yeah that’s not a typo, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it myself). And by big I mean many many vacation days planned, several countries on the […]
