Hi!  I’m Amy!

My family and I have always loved to travel.  We started when our kids were very young, became addicted, and have been traveling ever since.  We started with fun places like Disney World and the Great Smoky Mountains.  The more we went, the more we wanted to go. I decided to make it my mission to find a way for us to do it often.

When our boys were 10 and 12 years old we spent a week in New York City over Thanksgiving.  Its vibrant energy was contagious!  From the bustle of Times Square, Broadway shows, and iconic landmarks to the diverse neighborhoods, cultures, and cuisines, we were hooked.  I was determined to search until I found another trip.  And I did!  Then another and another.

We love visiting Europe, so I’m always planning our next trip across the ocean.  Between our trips abroad, we cover as much of the US as we can fit into our schedules.  My husband travels frequently with work, so I create a getaway from many of his business trips as well.

We are fortunate that we have the flexibility to go as much as we do, and we are able to afford it with careful budgeting, prioritizing our spending, finding really great flight deals, and using credit card points whenever we can.

If any of this sounds like something you might want to do, I hope our experiences can help!  I’ve created this website using all the photos, videos, checklists, and spreadsheets from our trips to show you what we do and how we do it.  You can find all of my blog posts here.

Seeing the world is an experience unlike any other.  I encourage everyone to just DO IT!
