Minimooning in Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas

Springtime in California Wine Country
So I was supposed to be going to Portugal this spring. Flights were booked, AirBnbs were reserved, activities were bookmarked. Annnnnnnnd then omicron hit with a vengeance.

How I Plan a Trip
The first thing you should know about me is that I LOVE a good, organized itinerary. I am incredibly Type A. Nothing gives me more serotonin than checking a box or crossing something off a to-do list. I have based entire trips on my desire to go somewhere new so that I can scratch it…
