We're on the road... again!

And, boy, is New England beautiful.

We are super happy to be back in the good ol' U.S. of A! It's not that we didn't like Canada. Montreal was a great place to spend the summer but it's nice to be back on the road again.

We've got five weeks of road tripping ahead of us and, aside from New York, it's all through states we've never been to before. By the end of this part of our road trip I'll have been to 33 states!

How many have you been to? And what's your favourite state in the US? Drop me a line and let me know.

Where We've Been

We left Montreal about a week ago to start road tripping. We crossed the border to Vermont, then headed to Maine. After a few days in Boston (which we LOVED!), we're now in Cape Cod for a few days. We'll be road tripping around New England for another week before spending a week in NYC!

Travel Tip of the Month

Want to know the best way to search for flights?

Forget the other booking engines you've been using! Google Flights is the best way to find flights. It's so versatile and presents better price options, has better filters and an excellent map function.

Travel Product of the Month

If you're not using packing cubes to organise your luggage, stop what you are doing right now and buy some!!! Seriously.

Packing cubes will revolutionise the way you pack, keep you organised and help minimize the amount of stuff you think you need to travel with.

I'm loving these Eagle Creek ones at the moment. You can stuff so much into them. We can get enough clothing for our family of four for FOUR days into the large one!
