    Packing for the Mystery Vacation

    At this point we’re leaving for our mystery vacation in just a few days and I am positively dying of anticipation and excitement! Chris still hasn’t told me where we’re going, or really, very much at all… but he has given me a few hints that might maybe help me narrow it down? A little? We spent our weekend packing for this trip – here’s how that went: So as you can see, I don’t know what I’m packing even. Chris is packing FOR ME. We picked out outfits based on either cold or warm weather, ultimately he’ll choose the…

    Remy Dessert Experience on the Disney Dream

    At this point in our cruising series it should be obvious that we LOVE food. It feels like all we did on this cruise was eat! But for our last day on board, we had planned the most special experience yet. We would be dining at the super fancy and high class adults-only restaurant, Remy! On day 2 we took a tour of Remy and on day 3 we had dined at its neighbor, Palo. But we saved the best for last with Remy. It’s considered the ultimate in luxury dining at sea, and our tour guide estimated that a…

    Dinner at Palo on the Disney Dream

    If you’ve read my blog for a while now, you probably know that one of my favorite parts of traveling (maybe THE favorite part) is food. We’re always looking for the best dining experiences we can find wherever we go. So it was only natural that when we set sail on the Disney Dream, we knew that dining at Palo was an absolute must-do. We ended up eating there for dinner on day 3 of our cruise and it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! While most of the dining on board is included in the cost…

    A Mystery Vacation?

    Since I’m in between vacation series right now – just finished blogging the honeymoon and am about to start my cruise posts – I figured it would be a good time to tell you about my next vacation.
