Saturday marked a special milestone for us—nine years since Michael nervously asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend. My response? “I guess that sounds alright.” (Okay, maybe he wasn’t that awkward about it.) In the weeks leading up to our anniversary weekend, we began looking for flights. As I’ve mentioned before, we typically look …
In Monday’s post, I shared my experience hiking from Monterosso to Vernazza in Italy’s Cinque Terre, and today I’ll pick things back up with the second day of hiking: between the towns of Vernazza and Corniglia. Michael and I actually started our hike in our “hometown” for the night, Manarola. We hiked around the marina …
When we were planning our trip to Italy, I had one stipulation: “We have to stay in one of the Cinque Terre towns.”
Well, we didn’t get into Neptune Oyster. The Boston restaurant is well-known both for its seafood and its incredibly long lines (just Google it – you’ll read about both just in the page summaries alone).

I’m fortunate that my workplace provides a week off for Spring Break, which gave Michael and me the perfect excuse to get away for longer than just our typical weekend getaways! This year, we chose to fly to a destination I’ve wanted to visit forever: Montreal, Quebec. We expected a beautiful city, sure, with lots …
It’s set in a strip mall, but once you’re inside you’ll forget about that.
My birthday was a few weeks ago, and since it was on a Sunday I wanted to take advantage of the occasion and get away for the weekend. As I always do, I scouted some potential flights on Google Flights – and when it came time to choose the destination, Michael suggested picking the city …
