The Top 14 Winter Destinations of 2017


Have you planned your winter vacation yet?

If you’re like us, the answer is no, but odds are, you’re not like us, and it’s time to start thinking about some winter trips.

So today, Heather and I go through our list of top winter destinations. While we don’t HAVE to have been there before, we’ve been to several of these places and could go back to any of them.

It’s time to imagine some snow or get away from the cold with a wonderful beach, and plan that winter trip!

Where do you plan to spend the winter weather? Expand my travel list @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

Destination Diary – Portland (Update!)


Portland is definitely our most visited city in the USA, and it might even be my favorite city!

Since our last Destination Diary, we’ve been back to Portland multiple times, and it’s time for an update!

Sean Ogle rejoins us on the podcast after several years to share his insider perspective on Portland and share some of his favorite spots around the city. Turns out he was holding out on us while we were there! Guess we’ll just have to go back!

We talk about some of the best restaurants in town, including brunch, pizza, food carts, happy hour, and just plain weird. As one of the best cities in the states for coffee, breweries, and desserts we of course touch on these as well. My favorite ice cream shop is there after all, how could we not talk about it!

What are you the most excited about visiting in Portland? Let us know @ExtraPackOfPeanuts!!

Top 12 Fall Destinations

Summer is the prime time for travel. Great weather, easy time off, and beaches galore.

But it can also be expensive, and very, very crowded.

Solution? Fall travel! The weather is still great (most places), the crowds are smaller, and the prices are cheaper! You gotta love those shoulder seasons.

Today Heather and I list our top 6 fall destinations each, complete with some (maybe) cheating, and surprises!

Where’s your favorite place to spend the fall? Let me know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!
