We're big fans of DIY travel. Curious to learn more? Excellent, let's talk.
When we travel we try, as much as possible, to book ahead and pay for things ahead of time. Sometimes, as with hotels and car rentals, you can actually get a price break if you pay in full at the time of booking (win!). But mostly, we do this to make sure we have fewer …
Only have one full day on the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye and are more the outdoor type? These are our recommendations: Edinburgh to Skye – Get the Car On our most recent trip to Scotland we started with a bit of a wild itinerary. The plan was to fly into Edinburgh and drive to Skye …
As we’ve said in earlier posts, our preferred way to travel is hopping a flight across the pond (either of them) to wherever and, after landing and collecting ourselves, renting a car and going our own way. There are tons of benefits to travelling this way, but to be sure, it isn’t for everyone. In …
If you haven’t picked up on this by now, we love travelling. Like, a lot. We also like to encourage folks to get out and see the world, however much of it they’re comfortable with. And while we don’t usually talk about this explicitly, we like to travel safely. For the most part, that means …
What we’ve Learned about Travelling, Part 3: Packing. Something we strongly recommend that seems nuts, but actually alleviates some travel stress: travel with carry on bags ONLY as much as possible. Get your clicker finger ready, we have lots of products to share that help us dramatically with this! We BOTH used to check big …

Once you’ve settled on a general travel destination idea, you largely have two options for booking your trip: DIY or hire a travel agent. We used a travel agent for our honeymoon and our …
Okay, let’s talk about packing. Yes, yes, we’ve touched on this before, but haven’t talked about it directly, so let’s do that now. But first, a question: Which is worse – packing or unpacking? We’re a divided house when it comes to this. Tasha hates packing with a passion…too many things she wants to take …
In an earlier post we told you about a recent trip we took to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In this post we’ll talk about a more recent trip to Cancun, Mexico, particularly the process of getting in and back out of Mexico. Let’s get started. Whenever possible, we fly out of our small airport in …
As of the writing of this post, the Omicron variant of the COVID 19 virus is dominant (but Delta is still hanging around, too) and, at least partly because of this, multiple airlines have had to cancel thousands of flights. Some European countries are closing borders again or introducing other restrictions on movement within their …
What we’ve Learned about Travelling, Part 2: Technology. Did you remember to grab your noise-cancelling headphones before heading out on your next adventure? No? Bummer. This is probably the single most important thing we take with us on the plane, and it was never something we anticipated wanting (or needing). As it turns out, planes …
