2017 Travel Planning


The only trip we have booked, signed, and sealed is Boston in May but otherwise K and I have just started planning our one big trip of the year and some smaller trips to cities around the US.

2016 was a year filled with lots of travel adventures from Jamaica to Nashville and Canada to the Bahamas plus a few other fun places in between (recaps one / two / three) so I plan to check off a few more of my bucket list travel destinations this year. These are the places on my radar for 2017...

Boston
The trip is booked and accommodations are confirmed but I've yet to start researching things to do or planning any sort of itinerary.

Ft Lauderdale Beach
This is not a new destination for us but we're thinking of returning to enjoy the beaches for our anniversary this summer.
Most recent trip to Ft Lauderdale.


Europe
This is a vague one because we're still figuring out what countries/cities to visit but the travel dates have been decided on so far.


Houston
One of my close girl friends is moving to Houston this year so I'm hoping to visit her but this is not a definite travel plan so far.
 

Chicago
Another city we've already been to but K wants to return for his birthday and to visit a friend.

Austin
Austin is the other option for K's birthday which falls on a long weekend and is my personal preference since it's a new city to the both of us.


Charleston
I have my heart set on Charleston for my birthday weekend but this could change between now and December, although I highly doubt it will.

  1. You rightfully have your heart set on Charleston for good reason. We have friends there and have been a handful of times (and will be going back next weekend for a wedding). It would be the perfect city to go and visit for your birthday!

  6. Why is Birmingham never on anyone's travel list?! LOL. I cant wait to hear what you guys decide on for your Europe trip!!! Honestly, all the cities on your list are places I would love to visit one day. I have been through SC a million times but never Charleston. I have been through IL several times but not Chicago. And I went to Houston for a wedding a few years back but didn't get to do much site seeing. Can't wait for your trip recaps on these. Happy planning!

  10. Such an awesome roundup! Loved Chicago when we all went a few years ago, and Charleston has been on my list for a while. I need to just go already especially since it's within driving distance! Cannot wait to see what cities you guys choose for Europe <3

  13. Chicago is always worth a return! I used to live in Austin and have a travel guide in my email if you need recs. What a great year of travel to come!

  14. If you need Charleston recs, please ask!! I haven't spent much time in Chicago, so I would love to go back there or see more than just the airport in Houston ;)

  17. So many fun trips planned! Chicago is always great, but I do love Austin (and you can add Fredricksburg to it if you have time. The Texas Hill Country is gorgeous and has great wineries!) I've always wanted to go to Charleston too!
