I’m a very brand loyal person and there are a few I always (well, try to mostly) stick to more than others…Coke (NEVER Pepsi), Delta (when we booked this trip, I must have asked my travel agent, Justin, after every segment…it’s that part of the Skyteam? Ha!) and Starwood Hotels. We’ve been lucky enough to […]
India: In a Nutshell
Traveling to India is interesting. I’m not sure if I’d say that this is my favorite country, but I am extremely glad I spent time exploring India. Our friend Luke, who we met on our Ha Long Bay trip came to join and travel with us around India for the month. We were a bit scattered when […]
Goa
Goa is extremely different than the rest of India. You can wear a bathing suit and shorts without getting overly stared at. You can order a beef burger, which I did once and should’ve known that in a place where cows are regarded as holy that it wouldn’t be the best burger I’ve ever had, […]
Another Night, Another Train
After returning from the Maldives, we hopped on an overnight train up to Palolem Beach in Goa to meet up with some friends. Another successful night train for the books! One that even included dinner and breakfast. We’ve now discovered that the pre-paid taxi’s seem to be more expensive than hiring one of the […]
Maldives Part 2: Luxury Living
For the second part of our Maldives trip, we stayed three luxurious nights at the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa thanks to some generous family donations (THANK YOU THANK YOU Grandpa, Grandma Linda, Momma & Bill for buying us a night each) and using some of my horded Starwood points (I’ve been saving […]
Maldives Part 1: Budget Surf Spot
WE’VE ARRIVED IN THE MALDIVES!! And they’re just as amazing and wonderful as I expected. After finding a bargain flight of $240RT, we were determined we could do the Maldives on a budget. In an effort to do the Maldives on a budget, we found an inexpensive hotel in the North Male Atoll on an island […]
My Dream Destination: The Maldives
The Maldives. My dream destination. The place I’ve wanted to go for years and years and years (and years and years). The spot I’ve always said I’m going to on my honeymoon (whenever that eventually rolls around…). It never really occurred to me that the Maldives are a quick 45 minute flight south of Southern […]
A cliff on the beach
Traveling south down the coast of India, we made it to the southern part of Kerala to Varkala. Following a stay in Ft Kochi and two nights in a Kerala backwaters home stay, which was amazing and relaxing. Varkala is on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea lined with guest houses and restaurants. It’s adorable. I’m […]
Varanasi
Varanasi is probably the most intense place I’ve traveled thus far. It’s safe to say that Varanasi (and really India at that point) and I didn’t get along very well. Varanasi is extremely dirty, crowded and the constant horn honking can drive a sane person completely mental. With that being said, I would say that […]
The Taj Mahal
Visiting the Taj Mahal was a highlight of my time traveling in India. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and wonder of the world, the Taj Mahal is one of the things not to be missed on a trip to India. It is widely recognized as the jewel of Muslim art in India. Seeing the Taj in […]
