In April, we traveled to New Orleans with my brother and sister-in-law. After picking New Orleans on a whim, we later realized two things that were going to make this trip even more fun. It turned out that 1) we would be there during the French Quarter Festival and 2) some friends we haven't... Continue Reading →
My childhood BFFs and I once thought it would be a good idea to rent a RV and drive from Philadelphia to Cancun. That would take approximately 60 hours. It never happened but we still joke about it often. We have since road tripped around the Southwest US which involved a brief stop in Mexico,... Continue Reading →
Get ready for a throwback to 2009. I have been wanting to recap this trip for some time. This is the perfect time as it was ten years ago this month that I set out on a 12 day South African adventure. Remember my BFF who lives in Bermuda? She is part of this adventure.... Continue Reading →

This past week I traveled to Bentonville, Arkansas on a business trip. When I first learned that I would be traveling to Arkansas I immediately went in search of my state and country tracker. Everyone has one, right? I have not been to Arkansas before so this was an opportunity to put a pin in... Continue Reading →
Iceland is a popular destination at the moment and has been for a few years. Iceland has been that trip that has been half-planned for two years. I started talking about Iceland at the end of 2015 and even received a travel book and map of Iceland as a Christmas gift that year. We first... Continue Reading →
I first visited Stockholm many years ago when a friend and I planned a post-college graduation European trip. We visited 15 countries in 42 days (more on that in a future blog post) but the very first place we landed was Sweden. We stayed with a Swedish college friend of mine and between the two...

A week ago marked my 18th visit to the island knows for its pink sand beaches, Bermuda shorts, rum swizzles, and more! If you haven't checked out my previous post on Bermuda, my childhood BFF has lived in Bermuda since 2007 so I visit often! I planned a four night trip around a relatively new... Continue Reading →

I don't know about you but I was obsessed with the Royal Wedding over the weekend and couldn't get enough of the pictures and A-list celebrity Instagram posts for a sneak peak into what it was like being a guest at such a grand affair! That got me thinking back to my own wedding that... Continue Reading →
I'm back to share Japan Part II! After posting Japan Part I earlier this year we booked a ski trip to Europe without ever having skied before. This required a crash course in skiing before the actual trip to Munich and Austria. I also spent a chilly weekend in Florida, which wasn't ideal at the time... Continue Reading →
We booked flights in and out of Munich, Germany to spend a week skiing in Obergurgl, Austria. This provided two options for sightseeing along the 3-hour drive from Munich to Obergurgl. On the way to Obergurgl we took the southwest route to Schloss Neuschwanstein, the number one most visited castle in Bavaria built by King... Continue Reading →
If you have been following @champagneonplanes you might have noticed that I like big city vacations where there is a ton to explore but I am open to traveling just about anywhere if there is a promise of good food, great sights, and fun times with friends. I have no idea why it has taken... Continue Reading →
We have a friend who lives in Brussels and he likes to ski. He will travel just about anywhere in Europe to do so.
