Travel Articles and Deals From This Week
I have unfortunately not been a beach bum this summer, which is quite tragic for someone who lives in San Diego. I was all prepared to go today – no day plans and no work that HAD to be done today – and then…clouds. We’ve been having an absolute heat wave in San Diego for the past month and I’m finally ready to take advantage of it and the darn clouds decide to roll in. If you’re also stuck inside thanks to weather, check out some of my favorite travel articles and best deals from the past week:

I'm a travel marketer and travel writer. My husband, Tom, is getting his MBA and never stops studying. We have two cats. We have a mortgage. We have a passion for traveling. We have limited vacation time and funds.
Our friends and family wonder how we travel so much.
Here's how I balance it all and maximize travel time and getting the most out of a destination when time is short.

What – you haven’t been to the beach! Wow – with the weather this summer, I would love to be close to one! Travelling through Croatia right now and can’t get enough of it!
Great round up of blogs – will make for perfect reading on the ferry to Italy!

I know, I know! I am a bad San Diegan. Luckily, the warm weather and water usually lasts into the beginning of October here, so hopefully I’ll still be able to fit in a couple beach weekends. Enjoy the rest of your time in Croatia and hope you have fun reading the articles!
Thanks so much for the mention, Gina. I hate to hear about your beach day ruined. If it’s any consolation, it’s raining in Houston today.

Thanks Leah, I really think it should be a law of nature that it’s always sunny during the summer on weekends.
Ahh nostalgia… I miss my San Diego. Please have breakfast at the Mission and think of us! Thank you for the mention

You know I’ve always meant to, but have never had breakfast there! Going to make it my mission to get there soon. (pun intended)
Sometimes you need a summer doing the opposite of what you normally do. Busts up the routine and maybe starts something new?

That is true! My weekends have been busy traveling and planning new writing stuff. Has definitely been a productive summer but I do miss the beach!
