We made it to Oktoberfest this year - the actual, real authentic Bavarian Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. And it was A BLAST! I'm so glad we made this last minute decision to go - it was a once-in-a-lifetime, check it off your bucket list experience. We left Saturday afternoon and took a straight flight on [...]

Our Roman Holiday
I have had a hard time writing this recap post because honestly, part of me wants to keep it all to myself. I think Italy does that - romances and seduces you so much that my limited vocabulary is not enough to explain its gloriousness! Since my clients would be celebrating the US Labor Day [...]
