I’m sad to be leaving the DR after an amazing few days, but I’m happy to be heading home to my own bed and my husband. Our flight wasn’t until 1:30, but with international flights you have to get to the airport 3 hours ahead, so after some breakfast we were on our way around… Continue reading Day 5 : Officially Home!

Day 4 : This Sun is Different
Our last full day in the DR has unfortunately come. After a busy couple of days, today’s plans consist of rest, relaxation, and soaking up the sun on the beach and in the pool. After our wildly late club night last night we woke up around 9 and got ready for the day. Our resort… Continue reading Day 4 : This Sun is Different
Day 3 : Bugged Out
Boy was that sleep last night much needed! Everyone awoke around 8am so we could have enough time to get ready, eat breakfast, and make it to our meeting spot for our excursion today. We’re going buggy-ing! Today’s excursion is our favorite thing we have planned. We got to drive dune buggies to 3 different… Continue reading Day 3 : Bugged Out
Day 2: The Power of Sugar Cane
It’s our first full day in the DR and what better way to start than a cultural tour?! These types of tours might make for a long day, but boy are they worth it. You get to see so much in a relatively short amount of time. It was another early morning with breakfast at… Continue reading Day 2: The Power of Sugar Cane
Day 1 : MY 10th ANNUAL NEW YEAR NEW PLACE TRIP!!
If you would’ve told 20 year old me that 10 years from now (pretty much - I’m not quite 30 yet😂) I’d still be doing annual New Year New Place trips I don’t know if I’d believe you. Of course when I made the goal I aspired for it to never end. There are endless… Continue reading Day 1 : MY 10th ANNUAL NEW YEAR NEW PLACE TRIP!!
Day 4: Time to go Home :(
Our last day has unfortunately come. Since we don't have to be at the airport until around 1 or so, we decided to take the opportunity to sleep in a little. This was great in theory, except the hotel we’re staying at is getting roof work done and all you could hear was banging. We… Continue reading Day 4: Time to go Home 😦
Day 3: Cows do WHAT?!
Our last full day is already here 😦 With a few things planned for today, we were up and at 'em around 10am. After stopping at Panera to pick up some breakfast, we were on our way to the NC State Randleigh Dairy Heritage Museum! NC State owns this dairy farm where they have over… Continue reading Day 3: Cows do WHAT?!
Day 2: “This is so awesome”
It’s a brisk morning here in Raleigh at about 34 degrees. Although much better than Connecticut where it’s in the 20s, Izzy’s Floridian blood is freezing. We’re both wearing thermals, pants, long sleeves, and jackets. I also brought some headband ear warmers and gloves. First stop for today : breakfast. We found an Einstein’s Bagels… Continue reading Day 2: “This is so awesome”
Day 1: First Day Delays are Back
My 9th annual New Year, New Place trip is officially a go! 2024 is the year we go to Raleigh, North Carolina! If you’ve been following along these trips the last 9 years, especially in the beginning, you may know I have a history of bad first days. Or at least day 1s never going… Continue reading Day 1: First Day Delays are Back
Day 3 : Magic Gardens
Today is our last day in Philly and it feels like we’ve been here both a short time and a long time. Regardless, it’s been a great time. Lucky for me, since it was our last day we didn’t have to be up too early. I’d say I got up around 8:30-9 or so, which… Continue reading Day 3 : Magic Gardens
