8 Hours in Milan
On my way home from visiting my friend Shelby in Spain, I had an 8-hour layover in Milan, Italy. I knew the short layover wouldn’t give me a lot of time to see the city, but I had to take advantage of the time I had. I flew into the Orio al Serio (BGY) airportContinue reading “8 Hours in Milan”

She lives on beautiful Johns Island, about 20 minutes south ofContinue reading “Charm of Charleston”
Fire & Ice [land] Roadtrip
When IcelandAir opened up direct flights from Tampa to Reykjavik, we knew we had to jump on the amazing flight deals while they lasted. My boyfriend, Jeremy, and I flew round trip for $398 each on a half-full flight, leaving us plenty of room to stretch out in our own rows. This was our firstContinue reading “Fire & Ice [land] Roadtrip”
