Travel

Life in Tuscany is life itself – the beautiful green rolling hills, the wines, the foods, the people, the fresh air – Tuscany is truly heaven on Earth.  And I feel so blessed to be able to venture back to Tuscany for some bella vita. Some of you might remember that I was in Tuscany […]

Heading from Cinque Terre towards Tuscany, I knew that I would need to change trains in Florence, and so I planned for a mini layover to quench my love and passion for Florence.  Why do I love Florence so much, you might wonder?  Well, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but all I […]

I’ve got to be honest, I woke up this morning and my legs are still burning from all of my hiking yesterday.  As a result, I am feeling especially grateful that today I will see the rest of Cinque Terre by train (even if I wanted to hike it I couldn’t – the last 2 […]

Now that I am finally sitting, I can say that I am happily writing this post back at La Tortuga, enjoying my glass of wine and spuntini (snacks).  But to be honest, my whole body is kind of aching. After a seriously rough night of sleep (I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn’t fall […]

So my next adventure has begun!  Those of you who follow me on Instagram have been hearing me drop hints about jetting back to Italy, and now I’m here!  But where in Italy, you might be wondering?  Well, currently I am on a train on my way from Milan to Cinque Terre, and it is […]

Boston is such a fun city to visit – all of the historic charm, the beautiful parks, the amazing restaurants, and the fact that you can literally walk from one end of the city to the other – I mean, come on, whats not to love? Walking the city is one of our favorite things […]

It seems like forever ago now, but really just a few short weeks ago, the hubs and I made one last stop on our holiday travel circuit, Boston.  We had such a great time.  It was the perfect mix of family, good food, long brisk walks around the city, and more good food. It is […]

Our last day in New York started bright and early.  Because hey, the early bird gets the worm, right?  Maybe, but in our case, the early bird gets the bagels…Ess-a-bagel.     A trip to NYC wouldn’t be complete without a serious bagel run – we enjoyed a few for breakfast and packed up way too […]

Our second day in New York started bright and early.  We wanted to make sure to grab some breakfast before a little sightseeing and a show.  So we headed for some grub from the Egg Shop.    The Egg Shop is really cute, and we really wanted to love it; but unfortunately the food was […]

Just before it was time to set out cookies for Santa and celebrate Christmas, the Mr. and I jetted into the City to have a few days of relaxation.  Well, I should clarify, New York style relaxation.  And for us, that really just means that we walked as much as our feet could take and […]
