We’re back in the UAE, folks! Dubai is one of three cities we’ve gone to on this trip that we’ve already vacationed to in the past (Munich & London being the other two). We look back on our first time in Dubai mostly fondly (we seem to have mixed memories), but we didn’t come back …
I’ve collected a lot of things over the past nine months of travel. I’ve got t-shirts from every country, coins in every currency, and thousands of rows of data. Across +20 workbooks, we have meticulously tracked every aspect of this trip. We can tell you how many miles we’ve flown (62,176), how many times we’ve …
In the past nine months, we’ve been to five continents, 24 counties, 53 cities, and twelve Disney parks. That is every single Disney park across the globe, plus the Aulani Hawaiian resort just for good measure. We expected international travel to wear away at some of Disney’s sparkle. We thought that maybe after traveling the …
We’ve passed the halfway point of our trip and it’s starting to freak us out a bit. We knew it would go fast, but we always felt like we still had so much time. But as the time we have left starts to get smaller than time we’ve been on the road, I can’t help …
After four great days in Melbourne, we jumped back on a plane and made our way to Sydney, Australia! And let me tell you, in case you didn’t already know, Sydney is flippin’ GREAT! Like, bust-open-your-piggy-bank-and-book-the-flight-now great. Look at this sunset! Look at this bridge! Look at this beach! Sorry for the exclamation points. This …
Getting coffee is considered a formal travel activity for us. We spend more time researching cafes that have great coffee, reliable wifi, and hip interiors than we do planning actual tourist attractions. While this is totally normal for us, it’s rare that we see coffee shops creep into the list of must-do attractions in a …
I’ve dreamed of going to Australia since high school when my friend went with her family. I thought vacations were for visiting grandparents, and the idea of jet-setting halfway around the world just for fun kind of blew my mind. The only thing I actually knew about Australia was from the time I’d made the …
Aloha! We’re writing to you today from Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii. This dreamy getaway is located on the island of Oahu, about 15 miles west from the state capital of Honolulu. The resort and spa, owned and operated by Disney, is a beautiful Polynesian-themed resort on a private oceanfront lagoon. While the resort features …
Other than the ridiculous airline-issued pajamas I’m wearing, I’ve never felt more legit in my life. Right now, I’m cruising at 34,000 feet, above some country that doesn’t allow me to use my free inflight wifi (India, I think?), sipping on Krug Champagne, marathoning the Batman trilogy (the Christopher Nolan version), with my feet propped …
There are very few cities that so quickly steal our hearts and so fully take our breath away. There’s Munich, where we’ll never forget the moment we stepped out of the train station at Marienplatz and were awestruck by the imposing beauty of Neues Rathaus for the first time. Then there’s Seoul (swoon), and its …
