When someone tells me they're traveling to Spain and looking for recommendations; San Sebastian (Donostia, in Basque) is my first thought for city destinations in the northern part of the country. It's charming, beautiful, and steeped with history.
Read MoreWhile it's one of the most popular hikes in Banff National Park it's also one of the most beautiful places I've been - the scenes are simply striking.
Read MoreYou've probably seen images of the Blue Lagoon all over Pinterest and in travel ads - in Seattle you'll see Iceland Air advertisements on the sides of buses and on big billboards. Those ads are why we scheduled our 20 hour layover adventure in Iceland and planned the Blue Lagoon as our final stop.
Read MoreMy favorite part about driving through the Kingdom of Aragon was seeing the hilltop villages off in the distance. While many of the villages seem to be a challenge to visit, the abandoned village of Esco sits right along a highway, just a short walk uphill.
Read MoreAre you on instagram? Do you follow me? If you don't, I wanted to let you know about a little project I started; NYC Picture A Day. It's just what it sounds like - one picture a day of New York City. I was sent out here for work for at least 30 days and since I knew my schedule wouldn't leave much time for creativity - I decided a photo a day project would help me meet that need to create something. So here's week one;
Brooklyn (you'll see a lot of that, since it's where I'm staying and working)
For our honeymoon, my husband and I were fortunate enough to visit one of my favorite places in the world - New Zealand. The stars seemed to align just perfectly with rounding together enough funds and getting approval for over 3 weeks of time off from our relatively new jobs. Even with all that time, we still only covered a portion of the two islands that make up this beautiful country. So here it is, our 21 days in New Zealand (in pictures of course!).

When it comes to planning a multi-week itinerary for a trip - I'm in my element.
I love planning and organizing. And yes, you may call me type A. So by extension this post is really meant for those of you that are also type A or for some reason want to be. By no means, is this the only way to plan an itinerary - it's just the way that works for me! My version of itinerary planning involves some level of certainty. The bottom line is that I like to know where I'm sleeping every night.
Does that sound like the kind of trip you like to take? Then read on and I'll take you through the my steps to plan a multi-week itinerary.
A few of my favorite travel bloggers have been posting about their summer plans and it was so fun to read about where they're going that I thought I would join them and post about my upcoming adventures.
This summer, I've got a pretty good line up of out of state trips that will keep me mighty busy. Each month I'm in the air at least 4 times for both personal and work travel. The list below is only includes the "booked" travel - so it doesn't include the camping trips around the Pacific Northwest and Canada that I'm hoping to take. Although, due to the already heavy travel schedule through September - those may get pushed to early Fall instad.
So where am I off to in the Summer of 2012?
