Back in July (of 2017) a friend mentioned a trip to Belize that involved golf carting around to bars and town, with drinking along the way not only allowed but encouraged.  Say what?!  Obv, we were sold.  Since our honeymoon would be our next trip, naturally, we’d have to lovingly rent golf carts and party …

Munich/Ireland: September 2017 Yes, we went back to Oktoberfest.  It was fun, but the shock value was gone, and we didn’t get amazing weather like the last time.  Jon went on a rollercoaster, so that was a plus. The square, Karlsplatz Stachus, by the main train station is a great place to have some great …

Dubai/Oman: April 2017 Tips: We went to see some friends that live in Abu Dhabi and made a trip of it.  Dubai is a bit lower on our list of recommended places to visit (although we love Jenny and Kev!) – it’s like Vegas without the booze everywhere (what?) because only hotels can serve booze. …

The Highlands, NC: July 2016 Tips: Another wedding, this time our friends Kelly and Cory.  Really charming village at the top of a mountain.  Quaint, you feel a little like you’re back in time, and our hotel (Main St.) was adorable, with a fireplace in the room.  Great hiking and waterfalls too. Bit of a …

LA: July 2016 Tips: Our good friend Jen got married in Simi Valley, at Hummingbird Ranch.  Beautiful wedding, grounds, people: http://www.thesoutherncaliforniabride.com/2016/05/a-romantic-hummingbird-nest-ranch.html.  Amazing wedding to be a part of, and we did party until 6am (reception/open bar until 2am!) just like Jen wanted. We stayed in Venice Beach the next night – Jon’s first experience in …

Nashville: February 2016 Tips: Might be a tourist haven, but we love Broadway.  I’m sure you have friends who live in or have frequented Nashville – ask them. Eat fried chicken and find the good brunch places. Staying at the Hilton right downtown is nice, but I’m guessing a bnb in Midtown works well (much …

St. John: December 2016 Tips: We love St. John!  And hope the post hurricane rebuilding is going really well. We did our open water dives here, to get PADI certified.  I’m happy we did our certification dives here because I think we saw better sea creatures on our later dive trips. We had one million …

Munich: September 2016 Tips: Prost!  Oktoberfest (which runs for much of Sept, into early October) is a must do.  We did our bachelor/bachelorette party here and had a group of about 25.  In one bnb, you do the math on the bathroom nightmare that was. But, so. much. fun.  Get a place within about 20 …
