I’m no stranger to Austin, TX as you all know by now, but I very rarely spend the night in a hotel there or do anything outside of eating at my favorite restaurants and crashing the couches of friends. But after a tumultuous September, we decided to head down for an overnight in Austin and … Continue reading On The LINE

I Still Love You
I am back from an exhausting trip to Austin. Exhausting? Correct! Not just from traveling in a pandemic, concerned about every move I made, but also due to my newfound furlough at work and car troubles on my return trip. But that’s not what we’re here for on this fine Wednesday! I am here to … Continue reading I Still Love You
I’ll Hopefully Go to Paris
I’ve spent a good portion of my adult life traveling and it’s one of my proudest accomplishments. I’ve never had travel anxiety or stress once I step onto the airplane, but the moments leading up to crossing the threshold between airport and airplane are pure agony for me. I’ve had this incredible Germany/France trip planned … Continue reading I’ll Hopefully Go to Paris
Out of Office Replies
I’m a huge vacation planner and am already planning my next vacation, basically six months out. I look forward to it all year, month, week...whatever. If I’ve learned anything in my last year of working for my organization, it’s that sometimes PTO is ignored. It doesn’t take long for me to get frustrated, give in … Continue reading Out of Office Replies
Chasing Waterfalls
After a day of drinking, it was time to get back on the exploration trail, so we headed to El Yunque National Forest! Fun fact: El Yunque is completely free and is the only tropical rainforest in the national forest system...pretty cool and beautiful to say the least. El Yunque is decently far from Old … Continue reading Chasing Waterfalls
Some of Y’all Never Had Bacardí for Breakfast

This was probably my favorite day of our vacation and it was worth every penny spent. We started off with breakfast at Zest, … Continue reading Some of Y’all Never Had Bacardí for Breakfast
Slow M(ocean)
Puerto Rico was incredible...I’m not even going to pretend like it wasn’t the tropical escape that I desperately needed. From incredible food to breathtaking views, it was something out of a Pinterest board. We decided to stay at the San Juan Water & Beach Club and I will recommend it until the day that I … Continue reading Slow M(ocean)
Traveling with Friends
I’m counting down the days until Friday when I can set my out-of-office message on and go see my girl, Margs! Nothing is better than having a weekend with your best girls, literally nothing! Whether it’s a trip to Greece or a quick weekend road trip, traveling with your bestie is the most incredible experience … Continue reading Traveling with Friends
Kicks on Route 66
On a cold, winter night...in the middle of absolutely nowhere on Route 66, there’s the original Pops. In Arcadia, Oklahoma, you can spot the standing soda bottle from a mile away. What used to be a Citgo station, is now a mecca for all bubbly lovers. With hundreds of sodas, from Coca-Cola to Jone’s, there’s … Continue reading Kicks on Route 66
Soothing Contentment
“At some point, you gotta let go & sit still & allow contentment to come to you.” As I shared last week, there was so much hustle, bustle and constant moving on this trip. I’m the type of vacationer that likes to go & go for days, but also allow some time for relaxation. Whether … Continue reading Soothing Contentment
