Trip Planning

  • I’m here, I’m here!

    ByJay M

    It’s been a busy spring at home, but travel is back on the agenda in a big way. We are heading to Washington D.C. and Baltimore for a quick baseball getaway before prepping for another trip to the other side of the planet. That’s right, we are heading back to Australia for the second time in six months, with a pit stop in Fiji thanks to a great deal with Fiji Airways. Beyond the upcoming trips, there is a lot of writing in the pipeline from past adventures, and the It’s How I Travel store is growing with a fresh focus on fun, eye-catching t-shirts. There is a lot more to come!

    We’re heading to Australia in just over a week! In this first chapter of our Australia adventure, I break down everything that went into planning this trip—from finding the best flight deals and navigating Delta upgrades, to the unexpected move that changed our departure city, securing our VISA, and booking hotels in Brisbane and Sydney. If you’re planning your own trip Down Under, this behind-the-scenes look at the research and booking process might just help you save some money and stress along the way.
