One glance at the city of Lafayette’s name (and its former name, Vermilionville), and you’ll know you’re in Cajun Country. Despite being Louisiana’s fourth-largest city, I confess that I could not have located Lafayette on a blank map of the state before we booked our trip. So how did I end up there? Well, a …
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I have a love-hate relationship with packing. I love planning outfit combinations and picturing all that I am going to do at a destination, but I don’t really love the actual packing part. I’ve made a great effort to consolidate all of my travel items to …

I hopped on a $60 roundtrip flight to explore the best of New Orleans in just one day.
Everything I packed for a long winter road trip through Alabama.
My visit to Montgomery felt like a whole lot of “hurry up and wait.” Michael and I arrived in the early afternoon from Birmingham, located about an hour north of the state’s capital. We headed downtown and paid for a metered spot near the Civil Rights Memorial. My first impression of the city’s downtown area …
