Organized Travel with the TUO from Origami Unicorn

Posted on by Posted in Gear, Reviews by Type 3 Comments

While there are many packing tricks and hacks for getting as much as you can into on bag, they often leave you with quite the mess when it comes to unpacking at your destination. This can be especially true of your smaller items like, socks, undies, and accessories. Origami Unicorn, the team behind the TUO ( travel undergarment organizer), recognized this and came up with a purpose built solution that not only helps you save space, but actually keeps everything supremely organized! Plus, how cute is that logo!?!

The 2015 Rambling Holiday Gift Guide

Posted on by Posted in Gear 2 Comments

The holidays are upon us once again and while Kenin and I don’t really exchange gifts, we do an annual gift guide to inspire those that need a little help. We test many products on our travels and sometimes find little treasures that we fall in love with. I enjoy taking these things and sharing them in our guides to make your shopping and holiday experience a bit easier. Also, if you feel the need to send some of these gifts our way, we’ll be more than happy to accept. :-) Seriously though, we travel full time and don’t buy a lot of stuff for ourselves (not much room left in the car), but we do enjoy the occasional shopping trip to buy things for our friends and family. Without further ado, I present to you the 2015 Rambling Holiday Gift Guide.

The Benjamin Hotel in New York City – Pet Friendly Paradise in Midtown

In the heart of New York Cities Midtown is a hotel that takes the term “Pet Pampering” to a whole new level. The Benjamin Hotel was Zoe’s first stay in the city and I have to admit, she seemed to be very happy about it. The hotel is definitely a pet- friendly paradise as far as Zoe was concerned.

The Von Trapp Family Lodge – A Touch of the Alps in Stowe, VT

Posted on by Posted in Hotels, North America, Pet Friendly Hotels, USA, Vermont 2 Comments

From the moment we pulled onto the entrance for the Trapp Familly Lodge, I knew that Lauren and I were in for a truly special getaway. Even though we were surrounded by the rolling hills and luscious landscapes of Vermont for the entire drive up from New Hampshire, there was something more than the surrounding beauty that gave us that feeling. The property had a certain quality that we couldn’t quite put our fingers on, a “je ne sais quoi” if you will. Then we passed a sign on the way in that said it all: Welcome to the Trapp Family Lodge, a little bit of Austria a whole lot of Vermont. In a nutshell that was it. From the second we stepped foot on property we were transported into a whole other world where pampering and relaxation were the top priority. We sought out the Trapp Family Lodge because we were looking for a great romantic, pet friendly getaway and we found it in Vermont.
