Thinking about traveling the world? Featuring our travel adventures from around the world.
Here are 5 DIY Projects to share you travel adventures. Where will your travel plans take you in 2017? Last year, we ended up in London. It was mostly Fatima on business with me tagging along. But in the 36 hours of free time we had to explore, we covered every inch of that city. We woke up early, put on our sneakers and began walking. This year, it’ll be Maui…
Did you know May was National Photo Month? Now that we’re settled into our new place (more on that soon!) we wanted to refresh our DIY Instagram Photo Collage we put together last year. Since then, we visited Cabo, London, Orlando, celebrated birthdays, and discovered new brunch places. Our favorite destination, by far, was Orlando because we explored Diagon Alley and Hogwarts/Hogsmeade in Universal Orlando’s The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Refreshing…
After a beachless summer last year, we vowed to try to make this summer full of beach weekends. We won’t count our week in Cabo as part of this challenge, but we made the effort to get to the beach twice. Yes, TWICE! Living in NYC, we are surrounded by beaches in Connecticut, New Jersey, Long Island, and even right here in the city. Our first #beachweekend was at Coney Island…
We went to Coney Island, twice!…
We finally got to go to Cabo! After Hurricane Odile devastated Cabo about 10 days before our Honeymoon, we weren’t sure when we’d be able to go back. However, we made it a point to get out there this summer for a get-away. When looking for a vacation destination, especially one that’s coastal, Fatima and I just want to relax and take in the sun. With Fatima’s busy work schedule,…
As you may know, last September we got hitched! What you may not know, was that our Honeymoon was washed away with Hurricane Odile when it devastated Cabo San Lucas, 10 days before we were supposed to leave last year. So we had to shift our plans and ended up in Martha’s Vineyard for the week. It turned out to be fantastic. However, we wanted to get out to Cabo,…
Summers on Lake Winnipesaukee have been a staple in our vacation plans for over two decades. We would spend a hot summer day, all day on the boat tubing, zipping around to different islands, and exploring various bays, coves, and inlets. Since we’ve always been on our boat, we’ve never had the need to try out a cruise on the Mt. Washington. The first Mt. Washington ship was launched 1872. Today, the ship holds 1250…
The summer is a great time to freshen up your apartment or office space with some new decor. My collaboration with Lilies & Loafers as part of their #LoveSummer series introduces fun DIY projects you can do to satisfy that travel bug you have in you this summer. A few weeks ago, I shared how you can turn all the paper goods that you amass during a trip into a decorative…
One of the things on our bucket list this summer, was to visit the American Museum of Natural History. Right in our backyard, we hadn’t been to the museum in years and thought it would be a great thing to do on a rainy day. So far, this summer has been a little rainy on the weekends, so we used on of our rainy weekend days to hit up the…
Summer is usually a popular time of year for vacation and travel, right? Well, if you’re staying local this summer and skipping out on a jet-setting trip – here’s a fun DIY project you can work on to still make you feel like you’re a world traveler. And it doesn’t even involve having to pack a suitcase or having to get past pre-flight inspection. #winning Remembering past travels is arguably…
Last summer, we were a little preoccupied with wedding plans and didn’t get to have a whole lot of time to enjoy events in the city or go on weekend excursions – traveling back and forth to Connecticut was exhausting! This summer, we’re trying to stay planted in the city and enjoy summer as residents and take advantage of all the events like tourists – and maybe a few excursions…
Summer is in the air. The NYC parks and other venues offer free movie screenings all summer long. It could be Sharknado 2 under the Brooklyn Bridge, Apollo 13 on the flight deck of the Intrepid, or Ghost Busters in Bryant Park. So whip up some food, grab some friends, and go have a picnic! What’s better than a free movie in the park? Making a picnic out of it! We pulled our blogger…
It’s important to note that NYC’s name change process will be very different from another city in NY State and even elsewhere in the country. Check with your local government for the rules, processes, and paperwork requirements. Ok you’re married, now what? You may change your relationship status to married and possibly change your last name on Facebook. And that took all of 1 minute, so what’s next?! One of…
In January 2011 I lost one of bridesmaids, J. Scarlett Hubbard. I was one of the lucky people who had the honor of calling her my best friend. But Scarlett struggled with cystic fibrosis from birth and at age 22 she was taken from us. As I plan my wedding, I can’t help but feel like something will be missing. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life threatening genetic disease that primary…
US Route 1 extends 2,369 miles from Fort Kent, Maine (my Nana is from there) to Key West, Florida. On our bike ride, discussed in the last post, we biked along the end of route 1. Photo credit – my dad. You’ll see my sister and me on bikes… Cuban Coffee, Cafe Leche: Wake me up! Our first cup of cuban coffee – or mostly espresso. It was delicious! No, we…
At the beginning of the month, we went on a much needed vacation to Key West. It was awesome! As we left LaGuardia, we flew right over Harlem/Bronx where I snapped this pic. If you squint, you can see our neighborhood! And before we knew it, we had left NYC and were in paradise… We went snorkeling, kayaking, biking, swimming, visited sandbars, hung out at the beach, and had lots…
