A Carry-On Packing List for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Typically I title the posts in my packing series “Traveling Light,” but I didn’t feel that was a fair statement to apply to my Puerto Vallarta packing list post. In fact, I could almost title this post “summer travel capsule” as it includes nearly all of my warm-weather items! This post contains affiliate links and …
A Vibrant Travel Guide for Five Days in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
We were so delighted to receive an invitation to attend the wedding of two dear friends in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico over Memorial Day weekend. Neither Michael nor I had ever visited Mexico’s west coast, and we were grateful for the excuse to get away to a destination we might not have normally selected. Getting to …
Traveling Light: A Packing List for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
I’ve always found packing for cities with a more “classic” style (say, Rome, Paris, or almost any Southern U.S. city) easier than packing to visit “cool” cities (New York, London, or San Francisco all come to mind) since my wardrobe is very low-key and contains very few “trendy” items. Still, I find I feel more …
Steel City Escapes: A Weekend Travel Guide for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
I always knew Michael and I would make it to Pittsburgh one day; the art, history, and food culture rival many other large American cities, and its off-the-beaten-tourist-path status is a draw for us as well.

36 Hours in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
It’s my Spring Break this week – and about two weeks ago I realized Michael and I didn’t have anything planned. I’m fortunate to get a full week off of work due to my industry; however, Michael doesn’t have another holiday on his work calendar until May. Since he needs to save up time off …
Traveling Light: A Winter Packing List for Washington, D.C.
Opening up my suitcase and sharing my packing list for a winter weekend in D.C. The last time I visited Washington, D.C., the weather was in the nineties and I nearly sweated through my tanks, dresses, and shorts. For a mid-January trip, the highs were barely above freezing, meaning there would be no easy packing …
Travel Diary: Winter Weekend Getaway to Washington, D.C.
I may have been a little dramatic in my Instagram Stories while waiting to board my very delayed flight to Washington, D.C., but to be fair, by the time I boarded, we were already supposed to have landed. Normally losing a couple of hours of vacation time is merely a nuisance, but not highly impactful …
