Packing for a Fall Trip in Norway
This isn’t really a blog post. This is more of a “Poe Pat-on-the-Back” post because I really do believe I packed the most perfect suitcase for our recent trip to Norway and I just have to brag about it. (Plus, I’m obsessed with packing and packing hacks – including this one for how to fold…

Poe’s Packing Panic: Safari Edition
We leave in a few days for Africa. So, you know what that means. Packing panic. It’s a thing. And for me, it’s a repeat thing. It’s not like this is my first African safari. Or even my second. No, this is the third time we are going on safari. You could say, we really,…

Cambodia Better Bring It
Ugh. I’ve been slacking on the blogging. I know. The thing is, I had to run all over town to find shorts. In February. In D.C. where the high temps this month have regularly hovered around “freezing your leg hairs off.” (Also, I’ve had a lot of big deadlines to hit in the past couple…

Friday Links: Sassy Cats See Buildings Shaped Like Food and/or Brains Edition
I’m frolicking in Naples, Italy right now, eating all of the thin crust pizza, and pasta, and creamy pastries, and just fried everything I can get my sticky little fingers on while my travel-buddy-for-life XFE actually works.

Giving new meaning to “weekend track work.” (I have no idea what I was insinuating there. Doesn’t really work, does it? Look! Something shiny!) Speaking of…

A New Packing Strategy for Sensible People (Not Me)
I forgot to include this in yesterday’s post. It really is quite impressive. It’s my travel year in review. I flew 59,866 miles. My longest flight was between Munich and Bangkok, twice 5,474 miles. Anyway, our latest trip was a long weekend in Austin, Texas over New Year’s Eve. Usually, I fret and panic over what…

Packing Strategy for a Week in Costa Rica
We leave tomorrow for a week on the beach (And in a fishing boat. And a scuba boat. Basically, we can’t or won’t sit still.) Nevertheless! Vacation looms. Which means so does my favorite part of vacation – packing! I’ve already referred to my obsession with packing. And, I’ve come up with a tentative packing…

Packing for an 18-Day Vacation: Doomsday Preppers
Have y’all seen this new NatGeo show, Doomsday Preppers? It’s about these crazy people who are preparing for the end of the world as we know it by stockpiling food and other products, sharpening their survival skills and basically, polishing their guns. That’s basically how my travel-buddy-for-life XFE and I prepare for a trip. We…
