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!!

To cap off our Year in Review Series Heather and I talk about our favorite experiences of 2016.

And we had quite a few!

Going through our photos made us long for the road today, as the weather here in Philly was a bit dreary, but it also made us incredibly grateful.

Thanks to all the listeners who supported us in 2016!

Enjoy our reminiscing about some of our favorite moments, some you’ve heard of before, some you haven’t’, but all absolutely wonderful!

2016 Year in Review: Stats and Superlatives

ep-260

Click here to download this episode.

Every year we spend (a little too much) time searching through our emails to find out where we were every night that year. Figuring out how many miles we traveled, how many miles we flew, how many beds we slept in, and of course how many countries and states we visited.

Even though that takes us hours of work, it only takes up about 10 minutes of audio. Not quite fair! So we pair it with something else. Our superlatives.

What were the best hotels, the worst hotels? What was the craziest thing we did this year? The most underwhelming? The most surprising?

Listen to today’s episode to find out!

There will be two more 2016 in Review episodes coming over the next couple of weeks, our best food & drinks as well as our best experiences, so stay tuned!

How many places did you sleep in 2016? Let us know if you beat us this year! Message us on Instagram at @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!
