When I am getting ready to travel, I am usually good about remembering to pack or do most things. But there are certain ones that don’t really fit into any easy category (such as pieces that make an outfit, items for entertainment, tasks to help with planning, etc.), and I often forget them. Even on…

The Real “Turtle Beach” on Oahu (AKA Laniakea Beach)
This is the post I wish I had seen before going searching for sea turtles on Oahu. If you’ve read any of my other posts, you’ll know I’m a major travel planner. Before we left, I had read about Oahu’s “Turtle Beach,” where you are “nearly guaranteed” to see honu, and marked it down on…
Hawaii Outfit Round-up
Time for a more vapid post. This may seem superficial, but I know I enjoy outfit round-ups when I’m trip-planning and packing, so I’m paying it forward today. We again took only carry-on bags with us on our recent trip to Hawaii. You might think that packing carry-on for warmer weather would be easier because…
2 Days on the Big Island of Hawai’i
People will tell you that you have to spend at least a week on each of the major Hawaiian islands. They’ll say that it’s not worth going for only a few days. I know, because I got a lot of that when I asked in online travel forums earlier this year. Of course these people…
How we’ve been able to go on 1-2 trips a year
When Kevin and I got married on a Mediterranean cruise in 2013, we knew we loved to travel, but we figured we’d only get to go somewhere once every few years. That’s all we saw as real-life examples; I was barely paying attention to “travel bloggers and influencers” yet, and most fellow Wisconsinites we knew…
What We Wore in Morocco in November
Morocco is a more conservative country than any we’d been to previously. It’s widely written online that men and women should keep both shoulders and knees covered when traveling there. However, we did see tourists who did not follow this “rule.” Before we left, we checked out some YouTube travel videos, which showed people in…
Our “Booked Upon Arrival” Sahara tour in Morocco – Part 2
In the last post, I left you in anticipation at the point of our trip where we were starting to see sand and camels and knew we were close to the Sahara desert! It was quite strange how suddenly the dunes appeared. It was not as gradual as I had anticipated. This is the point…
Our “Booked Upon Arrival” Sahara tour in Morocco – Part 1
“What happens if we wait to book a Sahara tour until arrival in Marrakech?” I searched this phrase and others worded similarly before we took our trip to Morocco late last year, but I never really got much for an answer. I read that it’s really easy to find someone to sell you a Sahara…
What are the Toilets like in Morocco?
One of the biggest questions I had before heading off to Morocco this past year was “What is the bathroom situation there??” I was a bit worried about the new-to-me bathroom etiquette, since I am ultra-modest when it comes to privacy. It didn’t help that the only information I could find online skewed scary and…
Four Faves: Morocco
Kevin and I just got back from a 6-day-long whirlwind trip to Morocco. Before we left, strangers online told me we couldn’t do this country justice in only 6 days, and that we really should consider extending it. Well, that wasn’t an option for us due to scheduling. And while we certainly didn’t see even…
