Well, our bags are packed and we're ready to go! We're Ireland-bound, and we're so excited. But the blog won't be dead while I'm gone; I've lined up several guest posts from some of my most well-traveled friends, all writing about their favorite trips, things they've learned and very best travel tips. If you're curious, btw, our passport covers are from Gent Supply Company and the Gap outlet.
I can't promise I'll be able to post to it during the trip, but you can now follow me on Webstagram!
I thought I'd share a peek at my "Going on a Trip" to-do list, after the break.

Don’t forget
- To xerox your passport just in case you need something to show a consulate if your passport is lost.
- To figure out a phone plan that works for you...my in-laws have a plan that works internationally, so we’re going to use one of their phones.
- Any extra cords you need for your electronics...I will likely need to charge my Kindle, camera and other items at some point.
At Home
- Unplug your electronics to save energy...the TV still sucks energy even if it’s turned off.
- Keep the thermostat in the mid-70s unless you opt to completely turn off the air.
- Take any perishables out of the fridge
- Put a hold on your mail (you can do this on the post office’s website)
- Share your itinerary with relatives so they know where you’ll be.
