Sicily turned out to be a beautiful, romantic surprise amidst the backdrop of a very hectic schedule to-date (especially in Rome). We split our four days here between the two towns of Siracusa and Taormina; both of which we recommend highly! It could have been …
We had only about 60 hours in Rome, which was definitely not enough time to see everything on our list. Our Airbnb host Luca told us he’s lived in Rome for 30 years and still hasn’t seen everything. Apparently, the city is constantly changing as …
This post has been a long time coming, but it’s taken us awhile to find the words to express what we’ve been feeling since reading all the news about Hurricane Harvey. We’ve been keeping up with the updates as best we can, but even still …

Ok so I’m going to geek out a little here, just bear with me… Our trip to Athens included flying in business class for the first time ever. What an experience! I have been collecting miles and points quite strategically for quite a while now …
