We’ve made it a habit to go somewhere warm every MLK weekend, and even though we are saving for our wedding this year (!) we didn’t make an exception. Nestled between work trips, we spent the long weekend in Playa Del Carmen in Mexico; Florida is much easier, but we wanted a change this year….

Chiang Mai, Thailand
How can you visit Thailand and not play with the elephants! Honestly we flew to Chiang Mai just for the elephants, which were totally worth it. It was also a bit cheaper here than in Bangkok, so we spent some more time here to relax. We stayed at the Shewe Wana Boutique Resort &…
Hoi An, Vietnam
After running around for weeks on end, I’d planned our time in Vietnam for recharging. We spent almost an entire week in ONE city (town? village?) at the same hotel, and were happily able to slow down. We even spent a few days just lazing around our hotel rather than sightseeing – very out of…
Bali, Indonesia
Bali is one of those “exotic” places that’s exploded in popularity lately – perhaps as a result of the instahealth craze. Everyone wants to have their honeymoon there, and because we don’t like following the crowd, we figured we’d visit during our SE Asia trip so that we didn’t have to make a separate trip…
West Palm Beach, FL
This was so long ago that I don’t quite remember what to write, except that this was super relaxing! I had a few days to simply unplug and not worry about anything at work – I had just finished my last final for my masters and felt like I deserved it 😉 M had a…
Miami, Florida
As previously mentioned, M and I are taking a bit of a travel hiatus this “semester” as our time away from our respective jobs will be spent on non-vacation trips: weddings, interviews, weekend class, etc – and as we save up for some upcoming ~ big things~ (like our month- long travel this upcoming summer!)…
Los Angeles
This was the first trip in a while that I took just for fun. It started with MF visiting NYC a few months ago and us joking about going to Disneyland (since we both loved DisneyWorld), and actually making it happen with a bundled trip to LA! I haven’t really visited the west coast since…
Bermuda
*featured image is of a moondoor, said to be good luck to newly wedded couples if you kiss under it! “Bermuda is the right country for a jaded man to “loaf” in. There are no harassments; the deep peace and quiet of the country sink into one’s body and bones and give his conscience a…
Fire Island
Holiday long weekends are always so hard to travel, since flights are expensive and so is decent lodging. I try to compensate by going somewhere cool on non-holiday weekends and mostly staying put or doing day trips on holiday weekends! So, over Memorial Day weekend, two of my friends and I decided to do a…
Assateague Island & Ocean City
Roadtrip 1: Assateague Island, VA- Ocean City, MD – Winterthur, DE One last roadtrip before going off to summer camp! On our May roadtrip, we had passed by Chincoteague Island and drove by to look at the wild horses. I wanted to go back to the adjacent Assateague Island and actaually do some beach exploring,…
