Have you ever missed a connecting flight? In another country? How did it work out? This happened to me and my husband on our way to our babymoon in Paris. Our flight was a little delayed out of LAX, then we sat on the tarmac in Toronto for 45 minutes. After running through the airport while pregnant (something I wished I hadn’t done, in hindsight) and being rushed through Canadian customs, we (and about 10 other people from our first flight) arrived at our boarding gate 1 minute after they closed the doors. Our airplane was there, but we couldn’t get on it. Thus began our 24 hours in Toronto!…

3 Reasons to Visit Paris in the Fall (and 3 Things to Keep in Mind)
Paris in the fall! Is it a good idea? After spending a week in Paris near the end of November, I am happy to share that I do think it is a great idea! While we are glad we went for it (because of the 3 reasons I share about in this post!), there are also a few things to keep in mind (which I also share in this post!). In other words, I’ll share both the good and “the bad” (although “the bad” wouldn’t keep us away!). My husband and I knew we wanted to go on a babymoon when I was pregnant with our daughter, and we needed…

A few months before our babymoon trip to Paris, I came across a mention of Flytographer on Facebook. I had never heard of it but was ecstatic when I realized that they are a company that arranges photo shoots for travelers…

4 Packing Must-Haves for Easy Travel
Packing. People seem to either love it or hate it. I am the type of person who loves it, but only if I’m able to stay organized. I can’t stand an overflowing suitcase, where everything is mixed together. Often a suitcase is nice and tidy when you first pack it but then a tornado seems to take over by the end of your trip. You can’t find that cute sundress you packed for your last night out (or you found it, but it’s a wrinkled mess), your dirty clothes are mixed with your clean clothes, and your toiletries have leaked. Just typing this intro causes me stress! Here are my…

5 Tips for Traveling Internationally with Food Allergies
Food allergies… they are a pain. Many people (myself included) get nervous when traveling (especially internationally) when food allergies are a part of their everyday concerns. But they don’t have to get in the way of your travels! And they certainly do not need to stop you from going on an amazing adventure! As someone who deals with this, I can attest to the fact there are few things as stressful as being in a foreign country, hungry, with no idea what to do about it. I’ve been in this situation too many times. Should I just go hungry? Should I cheat and eat something that I know will make…
