So now that we have done our trip to Florida over Christmas when Maya was 3 months, and our recent trip to Puerto Rico for my girlfriend's wedding when Maya was 6 months (we got lucky with hot vacay's this winter!), I feel like I can pass on some tips and tricks for flying with a baby. I'm definitely no expert, but both were long enough travel days and used different airlines, so I feel like we ... View the Post
babymoon: the recap
Okay, so time for the full scoop on our trip to NYC!! We stayed with Dan's aunt and boyfriend who live in the Upper West Side (uptown Manhattan neighbourhood that is just west of Central Park). It was so nice to stay with family - not only to get all caught up and do lots of visiting, but it was so comfortable, fun, in a great location, and good on our pocket books! We had ... View the Post
the travel files: an adventure in nicaragua
As you know, I recently got back from a girls trip to Nicaragua. It was amazing. Firstly because the country is lovely (more on that below) and secondly because I just love my girlfriends. They are two of my most favourite people in the world, and it was so good to reconnect with them and get them all to myself for 10 days (they live out on the west coast of Canada, so I rarely get to see them). I ... View the Post

We started off with the most obvious Washington site: The White House. It was actually really sweet - in the ... View the Post
Colorful Front Doors: Seeing the Rainbow
With one last exam and less than 72 hours left in London, I'm getting a little bummed about leaving this incredible city. While I am without a doubt really excited to get back to our sweet Canadian house, see family and friends, and get married (!!), there are lots of things I'm going to miss about London. Do you want to know one of them? The colorful front doors. I just love that people ... View the Post
4 Days in Ireland: Our Trip Itinerary
Dan and I went on another little adventure last week. He had some training to go to in Cork (southern Ireland) for a few days, so I tagged along and we made it a long weekend. Neither of us had been to Ireland before and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. It was so green (seriously, I think the grass is actually greener there somehow), so quaint, and had the friendliest people on earth. It ... View the Post
