After our first two days on the Norwegian Getaway, we had played both the ship’s escape room game and the ship’s murder mystery game, and outside of a few remaining trivia games, we were left to our own devices for thought-driven games. The good news is that I brought along a supply.
I had an unfortunate adventure on our most recent road trip. The good news is that there’s a lesson to be learned from it! The story begins below, with the lesson at the end.
I’m coming today with a new travel hack that’s changed the way I think about summer travel. The short version? Step 1: Go to Florida. Step 2. Leave.
Travel tip: Don’t rule out a journey that doesn’t come full circle.
When booking a flight recently, I saw a tremendously intriguing option. Frontier Airlines offers a “GoWild” pass promising unlimited flights for the next 1.25 years for only $349/year!
I have a curse. Any time I drive more than an hour south of Chicago in the winter, I hit a blizzard on the road. I’m 4/4 on winter road trips, and in every single one of these cases, my drive home is 100% clear. All that is to say that when I recently took a road trip to Atlanta, I most certainly hit a nasty blizzard in Indianapolis that cost me a few hours.
I recently advised not to underestimate the potential of a two day adventure, and I’ve got another data point to add to the set. A day and a half in Washington DC and I’ve rediscovered the US capital as a wonderful place to stop, even if it’s just for a short while.
Today, I’d like to make one assertion- it’s possible to have a vacation that’s full, relaxing, and a complete disconnect from the daily grind using only three calendar days. I’ve gotten a bit lazy with my vacation planning and have been taking a week off at a time, but from Thursday to Saturday I enjoyed the heck out of the southeast US.
I have a hot new recommendation for a vacation destination for anyone living in the Midwest US. Hear me out- Fort Wayne, Indiana.
My most recent travel post was from Florida in early November. In early December, I have another Florida trip to report on. Last time, we explored the eastern coast of Florida leading up to a Caribbean cruise. This time around, we flew out early for an event in Orlando. Different circumstances, but one big commonality- the Kennedy Space Center.
