Looking to book a trip to Paris and don’t know where to start?

From the hotel we stayed in, to the restaurants we chose to eat, here is the full list of everything my husband and I did on our three days in Paris!

If you want to worry as little as possible, book an all-inclusive or find someone who will plan much of the trip for you. 

But if you’re a lover of trip planning, like myself, here’s how to make sure you plan yourself the most epic honeymoon you can!

I don’t remember what I expected from the food in Amsterdam, but I didn’t expect to be so blown away by the quality of every single thing we ate!

Waking up on the last day of our honeymoon felt so sad. We’d been married during the pandemic, and the honeymoon was something we continued to look forward to for so long. And now it would be over.

Our first day in Amsterdam was absolutely magical, but it was a lot of going from place to place and seeing the sights.

By day two, we’d gotten the initial excitement out of our system and gave ourselves the grace to take our time exploring.

After three days in Paris, my husband and I said goodbye to Paris and headed to the station to hop on a train to Amsterdam! 

I knew the food in Paris was going to be on another level. But I didn’t expect every single thing we ate to be spectacular. 

Here are all of the things my partner and I ate on our trip to Paris!

Our last full day in Paris would be heavily indoors, which I was thankful for, because the weather was looking very grey and rainy.

After a pretty incredible first day in Paris, Brandon and I were looking forward to what day two would bring.

And day two was looking to be a lot more laid back. We had no plans. No tickets, no reservations – Paris was our oyster.

Postponing the honeymoon meant we could save up some money and take a trip we really wanted to take. After a lot of waffling back and forth, we finally booked a 10 day trip in Paris and Amsterdam.

In August of 2023 I went with my friend on my third Contiki trip, this time it was LA to the Bay, exploring the American southwest.

It was such a great time, but of course, I’m here to share the good, the bad and the ugly.

Before we knew it, we were arriving at the last stop on our LA to the Bay Contiki trip – San Francisco. 

I’d never heard of Bass Lake before taking the LA to the Bay Contiki trip with my travel bestie, Sophie.

We’d be travelling from Las Vegas to Bass Lake, spending a night in a cabin, and then heading to Yosemite National Park for a day of hiking and gorgeous views.

I’m not usually one to have specific restaurants on my travel bucket list. But Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen in Las Vegas is the exception. 

I never really had a desire to go to Vegas, until I visited with our LA to the Bay Contiki trip.

Then I caught the Vegas bug and wanted to go back.

Getting to visit the Grand Canyon for a couple of days with my travel bestie and our LA to the Bay Contiki trip truly was an incredible opportunity.

I’d never thought about travelling to Arizona. And then it was a destination on our LA to the Bay Contiki trip.

Now it’s one of my favourite states, and I can’t wait to go back one day.

I’d never had the desire to go to San Diego before my LA to the Bay Contiki trip, but friends, I get it now.

We had met both travelling solo for 3 weeks across Canada, but instantly became close friends, and we knew we wanted to do it again.

So we looked at some overlapping bucket list destinations and chose to go on Contiki’s LA to the Bay trip together.

One of the reasons I love New York City so much is the incredible food options.

No matter what you’re feeling – whether it’s a tasty brunch, an authentic Asian dish, or a classic New York slice – there’s somewhere that will hit your craving.
