The Red-Eye Remedy {Travel Tips}

1/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Catching flights is one of my favorite things to do. Over the years and airline miles I've learned a thing or two about how to make the journey more enjoyable. 

This series of {Travel Tips} will help you learn my very best ways to make the most of your travels. 

The battle between spending money and using vacation time is a tough one. We often chose to fly out of town on a Thursday night, after work, in order to arrive in our destination on Friday morning. Catching a red-eye flight has its benefits: the ticket price is better and you also don't need to spend a cent on a hotel for that night! 

The flip side to the cost savings is the way you feel, physically and mentally, when you haven't slept in a bed since the night BEFORE last. 

I've found the remedy for a red-eye flight: it's a massage. 

Here's why a massage is just what you need after an overnight flight:
  • You get to lay flat and stretch out comfortably - the exact opposite of being cramped in a plane seat
  • A massage is going to relieve you of the discomfort of the plane and make you feel refreshed
  • Most spas offer you fruit infused water, tea, coffee, showers, a steam room, etc. You can get hydrated and clean before your day begins in your destination
  • There's somewhere to stash your suitcase - this is especially handy if you're not checking into your hotel, AirBNB, or accommodations until late afternoon/evening

Ocean City, Maryland - Fav 5 {Travel Guide}

9/10/2017

0 Comments

 
Ocean City, Maryland is a classic East Coast beach town. It's located in a super flat part of the country and is home to a long stretch of beach and a lively boardwalk. There are tons and tons of hotels and vacation rentals, miniature golf courses on every block, and souvenir stores as far as the eye can see. There's also an Ocean City in New Jersey. This is not the Jersey shore, kids, it's Maryland.

While most of my high school classmates from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania went to Ocean City, Maryland (OCMD) for "senior week" at the end of our high school careers, I didn't. The last time I visited  OCMD since I was 12 or 13. I fondly remember playing mini golf with family and spending my hard-earned-babysitting-money on souvenir t-shirts and necklaces! Other than those memories, I have very few so I was excited to visit again.

Flights to Pittsburgh and Plane Snacking Strategy {Travel Tips}

6/28/2017

Pittsburgh here we come! Tonight my husband and I will take two flights to get us across the country to my hometown for a week long visit. It's been almost a year and a half since I've been back home and this summertime trip is long overdue.

Bagheera, our cat, is less than thrilled to be left behind in Seattle but is always excited to see a bag to jump into. Hopefully I can continue my ongoing trend of carry on bags only later today!
