A Day Trip to Florence

When planning my trip to Rome, I wanted to make sure I made the most of my time in Italy. I had only been to Florence once, and only for a couple hours, so I knew I had to make a day trip happen.

Where to stay: Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City

I planned a rather last minute solo trip to Quebec City at the end of 2018. I was really obsessed with going to Quebec City in the winter and had the motivation for one last trip before the new year.

I had this picture in my head: snowy cobblestone streets, eating French Onion soup in a cozy bistro, curling up in a castle for a few days to relax before returning to work. I needed all of that, and the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac was just the place for me to stay during my little getaway to Quebec City.

Where to stay: Whitehall in Camden, Maine

Nestled on the mid-coast of Maine, Camden exudes every charm of a small town in New England. Or so I heard. Up until last weekend, I had never visited Camden, but with peak foliage happening right now, I had to change that. So I booked a room at Whitehall, Lark Hotels’ Camden outpost, and jumped in the car.
