Throwing back to last November when we day tripped to Slovenia from Italy.
Day Trip: Gorizia to Ljubljana, Slovenia
Stockholm, Sweden – Where Cinnamon Buns Rule
We flew direct from Stuttgart to Arlanda - Stockholm's main airport. There are multiple ways to get into the city center direct from the airport: express train ($35 per person each way in 20 minutes), bus (about $15 per person each each way, 50 minutes), or there is a super shuttle type service too. There... Continue Reading →
Edinburgh, Scotland in August
To get the flight times we wanted, we connected in Brussels (Brussels Air) on the way there, and returned direct on on the way back on EasyJet. Direct is about a 2 hour flight, with an hour time change from Stuttgart. Uber is a thing there, however there is a premium charge for an early... Continue Reading →
I Love Berlin – when it’s warm
This is our first time to Berlin despite being in Europe for over 2 years now! Our M.O. is to travel outside of Germany but we are glad we made it to Berlin. It will be a regular trip for us now since it is easy to get to, reminds me of NYC's creative coming-up... Continue Reading →
Birthday in Crete, Greece
Again, this needs to be a Part 1. We had no idea how huge the island of Crete actually was. We had been to Greece for my birthday two years ago for an amazing vacation booked through an Amex travel agent to Athens, Mykonos and Santorini (must stay, or at a minimum have a cocktail...

Split: Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast Part 1
I am calling this one Part 1 because we MUST go back to finish our list and make it down to Dubrovnik too. That will be Part 2. We loved Split for a bunch of reasons mainly being the food, the price of the food, the city's proximity to the water and islands, it's history, and...the... Continue Reading →
Firenze
The flight to Florence connects through Zürich and is an easy one (plus Zurich airport has the best edamame at their asian bistro/bar for a snack between planes), the harder part is monitoring the trends in flight costs to get there, for some reason the cost fluctuates from as little as 100 euro one day,...

January in Budapest, Hungary
Our friends traveled to Budapest over Christmas and their pictures inspired us to finally book the trip there during our next available long weekend, (a long four-day weekend is definitely not enough time in Budapest, we needed another three days for a full week at least). The direct flight from Stuttgart is under two hours.... Continue Reading →
Paris for New Year’s
From Stuttgart, there is a TGV fast train that runs a few times per day and takes about three hours to get to the east train station. From there, the metro lines run to all the main points in the city. The metro in Paris is cheap and much faster in terms of frequency of trains... Continue Reading →
