Budapest, Hungary

Drew has been bugging me to put up this post. I don't have an excuse other than I've been lazy. Which is perfectly fine because I am on summer break and allowed to be lazy! :) In July of 2013 we took our first our of the country trip to Budapest. We took our first trip with United European Airlines. We heard about it from a random solider who was passing through the Graf area. Drew and I were...

Cruising: What to Bring?

I've seen so many people asking what they have to bring when they're on a cruise, I am definitely not a pro at cruising, but I decided to put together a list just for future reference because like many others I love cruises, I think it's the best way to see a lot of places in a short amount of time. Itinerary/Tour Plans for Port Passport/Orders/Important Documents & Extra Copies (I put it in a different place from the originals) Hand Sanitizer (Stations are all over the ship but...

Deployment, Round 2

Don't get me wrong it still sucks that he's gone. But in all honesty some time a part does us good. Maybe it's just a military thing, I've had this conversation with so many of my friends who's...

Usually we follow the Rick Steves book (this time I remembered...

Lake Bled, Slovenia

Till this day Lake Bled is still one of my absolute favorite places in all of Europe!  In October 2013 we headed down to Croatia for a weekend getaway. On our way back from Croatia we stopped off in Bled, Slovenia for the night to break up the drive. Slovenia, is a little land locked country that often gets confused with Slovakia. I know when I was planning the trip Drew kept asking me why...

MSC Orchestra: Gdańsk, Poland

Our second stop on our anniversary cruise was to Gdynia, Poland. To us this stop was the most pathetic, (no offense to anyone who lives or loves it.) The only reason I can assume MSC actually ports there is because it's cheap. At the port, there is nothing beside rude cab drivers that don't want to take couples anywhere. We were told by MULTIPLE cab drivers that they would only take us somewhere...
