1. Phoenix, AZ - we have actually been twice to visit our friend Tony and for his wedding.
2. Denver, CO - this is one place that I have been that P has not. I first went to Colorado to visit a close high school friend when her family moved there and was back last summer for a work conference.
3. San Diego, CA - another place I've been a couple of times. First time P and I went together, then for my bestie's bachelorette weekend, and just this past June for a work conference. I feel like each time I've gone I discover something new.
4. Los Angeles, CA - during our San Diego trip, P and I road-tripped up to LA to meet up with his cousin and got an awesome tour of the WB lot. We came out again for a friends wedding a few years ago and got to spend time in Santa Monica with our buddy Matt.
5. San Francisco, CA - you may remember that P spent an extended period of time in San Fran last year for a trial and then I joined him for a mini-vacation. Fortunately for me, he is most likely headed back there in December for another trial which means I get to go back!
6. Maui, Hawaii - we both went here for the first this past June and absolutely loved it. All return trips to Hawaii will include extended time in Maui.
7. Oahu, Hawaii - I was fortunate enough to live here for a year in high school and then P and I spent a few days here this past June.
8. San Antonio, TX - during college I attended a conference in San Antonio for a week. It was a lot of fun but I remember not being able to do as much since I wasn't 21 yet.
9. Orlando, FL - I have been several times for fun and work. Obviously most trips have involved a visit (or two) to Disney and Universal Studios.
10. Harpers Ferry, WV - P and I took a day trip here one fall and absolutely loved it. It's a quaint town with good hiking trails nearby.
11. New York, NY - I've been a couple of times now and each time it grows on me a little more.
12. Boston, MA - Boston has and always will be an all time favorite. I went for a conference in college and loved spending time with P there. I'm sure we'll be back!
13. Philadelphia, PA - the City of Brotherly Love has such a special place in my heart. It is truly where P and I fell in love. We haven't been back recently but I sure hope we do!
14. Cleveland, OH - all of my visits to Cleveland have been with P since he grew up outside of there. It surprisingly offers lots to do. At the the very least I recommend checking out the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and West End Market.
15. Ann Arbor, MI - we road tripped here once in college for a Penn State vs Michigan football game. I wish the game had a better outcome, but we had a fun day!
16. Quebec, Canada - speaking of road trips, P and I took a week long road trip that included stops in Canada. Quebec is just as charming as everyone says and really is a piece of Europe in North
America.
17. Montreal, Canada - Montreal was part of the road trip to Canada and such a fun city. While I found it to be more urban than Quebec, it had a beautiful area for walking/biking along the water.
18. Paris, France - need I say more? I have been a francophile since my first French class in 7th grade and feel so so so lucky to have visited Paris three times. The first time I went was in 2008 with P and I just remember being in awe of it. The second visit was in 2010 with my MBA program. That was a completely different experience since it was for school and gave me a different perspective. Then of course the most recent visit was last November where we had the most gorgeous pictures taken.
19. Munich, Germany - Munich is a favorite city of both of ours. We stopped there during our 2008 Europe trip and P studied here for a month during law school. I got to visit him for a few days in Munich that summer after my grad school program ended in Paris.
20. Dublin, Ireland - last November we had a overnight layover in Dublin and did not even get to scratch the service of all that the city has to offer. Going back to Dublin and Ireland is high on our travel list.
21. London, England - on a whim in 2009, I hopped over the pond to spend a long, whirlwind weekend with my best friend Aubrey. She was working in Manchester for 6 weeks so I flew there to meet her and then we drove to London. It is by far one of our favorite memories together.
22. Prague, Czech Republic - we visited Prague during our recent trip last fall. It is a charming city and I would love to go back.
23. Budapest, Hungary - this was our first stop on our trip. We both loved the architecture of the city and regret not going to the Turkish baths!
24. Salzburg, Austria - we visited Salzburg in 2008 and I remember being surprised by how much I loved it (although I tend to love most European cities). One of the highlights there was the Sound of Music tour we did.
25. Vienna, Austria - this was hands down my favorite stop on our last trip. I could have spent a whole week in Vienna soaking in its culture, drinking wine, and eating delicious food.
26. Bruges, Belgium - we decided we wanted to go to Bruges after seeing the Colin Ferrel moving In Bruges and it did not disappoint. It is a town with lots of character and is reminiscent of a medieval fairy-tale.
27. Brussels, Belgium - during that 2008 trip, we had one night in Brussels. I remember trying beers, eating waffles, and visiting the Mannequin Pis statue.
28. Montego Bay, Jamaica - this is where we honeymooned! It was our first time going to an all-inclusive resort and we absolutely loved it. After all of the wedding planning it was nice to just relax all week.
29. Charleston, SC - I ended up going to Charleston twice in 2014. Once for a friends wedding and then a few months later for a bachelorette party. It is a quentessential southern city with lots of charm, hospitality, and delicious food.
30. Millinocket, Maine - I visited Maine during a summer vacation in high school with my mom and younger sister. Family friends of ours had a cabin on a lake where we vacationed for almost two weeks. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I would love to go back to Maine, especially in the fall.
Here's to another 30 years of traveling!
