How to plan a delightfully romantic honeymoon

The dishes Most peoples Thanksgivings staples include the usual…turkey, family, friends, over-eating, and the occasional indigestion. My last few thanksgivings have included all those things plus trips in small planes. This year was no different. Not nearly as exhausting as last year but fun none the less and it has held true to the these new traditions. The weekend started out with a bang. After touring Jasper and Banff for a couple days, Erin’s folks came to Edmonton in search of excitement, good times, and exciting good times. We didn’t disappoint as the first couple days were split between shopping for dishes and snaking sewer drains. Intense. What better way to bring family together than wondering countless stores in search of the perfect dinner setting? How about being elbow deep in a toilet drain? Cherish those moments people. I did. Bored and fed up with the chipped and mish-mash collection of bowls and plates in my cupboard, Erin decided it was time for me...

Only have 48 hours in Montreal? When it comes to planning out a short trip to Montreal, strategy is key. Don’t let Google Maps fool you —no matter how close they look, m ost attractions are over thirty minutes apart by foot! Not trying to break a sweat? Opt for Uber or a subway ride.

If you’re like me (in which case, God help you) you’ll do anything to leave home for the weekend and see a new place. (As in, take a 2:45 AM flight back from Puerto Rico and roll up to work with sea salt still in your hair kind of anything) So naturally, when I lived in New York, I was obsessed with ways to get away for a quick weekend trip, and guys? If you have 3 days, Montreal is one of the best possible cities you can visit, especially if you’re on a budget. In fact, I loved my first Montreal weekend trip so much that I actually went back for another trip in the spring and saw even more, so now I feel doubly prepared to give you the best possible advice for seeing the highlights on Montreal in 3 days. I’ll warn you now that I’m not really a “tick-all-the-boxes” traveler — I’m more interested in experiencing the culture of a city through its restaurants, coffee shops, bars, parks, and maybe a few museums rather than working my...
