Preparation and Excitement

June 11, 2015 By Caroline Peterson

They say preparing and anticipating for a trip is as exciting as the trip itself.

The Anticipation Before a Trip

August 28, 2014 By Caroline Peterson

I imagine Portugal will be much like this: What? Your thoughts don’t usually involve Colin Firth? How sad. This is my favorite time in travel planning – the days before.
