⁣✈️🤑Airlines will often try to tempt you with buying miles, but is it a good option? It's up to you to do the math but usually buying miles is not a good deal - yes, even when they are on “sale” or have special bonuses.⠀

⁣🗺The Outer Banks, NC - Mini Travel Guide⠀

⁣🗺The Outer Banks, NC - Mini Travel Guide⠀
⠀
The Outer Banks (OBX) in North Carolina are one of my favorite places on the east coast. This area is a line of barrier islands along the NC coast. You may have heard of them from the Netflix show that shares the name. Sadly, the show isn't actually filmed in OBX 😔⠀
⠀
🏠Where to Stay:⠀
There are many quaint towns along OBX and each has its own vibe. Beach houses are great for large groups or if you are staying for a week or more, but there are also boutique hotels and inns, and even campgrounds! Something for everyone and every budget.⠀
⠀
My favorite place is @corollalightresort which is a community of beach houses on the far north end of the islands. The beach is beautiful and the resort has family activities and amenities that you have access to when you rent a home there.⠀
⠀
⛵Things to Do:⠀
Between the ocean and the sound there are plenty of opportunities for your favorite water-based fun.⠀
⠀
There is also lots of history! OBX is where the Wright Brothers first took flight. Lighthouses, theater under the stars, state parks, historic sites, and shopping! Be sure to pick up a kite for the beach at @kittyhawkkites.⠀
⠀
Also, just walking around and looking at the gorgeous beach houses is a favorite activity of mine! I'll hop on Zillow and dream big about getting a beach house.⠀
⠀
🦪What to Eat:⠀
Seafood! You can't go to the OBX without enjoying oysters, blue crab, Hatteras-style clam chowder - I'm drooling over here!⠀
⠀
OBX is also home to the original @duckdonuts and fine spot for Carolina BBQ.⠀
⠀
I've made incredible memories in @theouterbanksnc, both growing up and as an adult sharing this place with my nieces. This is a must-add spot to your USA bucket list!

⁣Want to travel better? Here are 7 things you should do before every trip (save this list for later 😉):⠀
💳Tell your bank and credit card company you are skipping town so they don't shut your card off.⠀
💌Give your itinerary to a trusted friend so someone knows your plans and how to reach you.⠀
💶Either bring some of the local currency with you or have a plan on how to get some when you land, carry a bit of your own currency, too, just in case.⠀
📝Make a plan of how you are going to get from the airport to your first accommodation, write it down and keep it with you. You will be tired and probably disoriented when you get there, this will keep you from having to think too hard.⠀
📑Make copies of important documents like your passport and hide them in your luggage. Make sure someone back home also has a copy and have a digital copy.⠀
📁Print out any confirmations for hotels or tours or transportation and take them with you, you may not have access to the internet to pull these up later.⠀
✈️Double check your flight information, it may have changed depending on how far in advance you booked your ticket.⠀
⠀
Have anything to add?

⁣I must have looked crazy yesterday. I cried my eyes out as the plane took off, like tears were rolling down my cheeks getting my mask soggy.⠀
⠀
Over a year ago I had two major pillars of my identity ripped away; my incredible job in theater and travel. And yesterday I started to feel like myself again.⠀
⠀
My husband messaged me as I was boarding my plane and asked, "Do you feel weird?"⠀
⠀
I replied, "I feel happy."⠀
⠀
Travel is happiness to me. It's joy and curiosity. Travel is the thing that makes me feel connected but also makes me feel small and humble. Travel brings out emotions that are deep and complex and hard to describe.⠀
⠀
For over a year I've felt numb, now I feel happy.⠀

⁣Some of the most popular US National Parks are going to require a bit of extra planning this year. Save this post for when you are planning your next NPS adventure:⠀
🌳Acadia NP - Reservations required to drive up Cadillac Mountain (5/26-10/19) ⠀
🌳Glacier NP - Reservations required for Going-to-the-Sun Road (5/28-9/6)⠀
🌳Haleakala NP - Reservations required for the Haleakala Sunrise⠀
🌳Rocky Mountain NP - Reservations for the entire park and there are options based on which parts you want to visit (5/28-10/11)⠀
🌳Yosemite NP - Reservations required to enter the park (5/21-9/30)⠀
🌳Zion NP - Parts of the park require a reservation, notably the shuttle service to access the park's most popular features. (3/13-"Fall")⠀
⠀
Be sure to check the NPS website as most of the reservations are released in batches as well as to check on current park conditions. Some of the fees for these reservations are in addition to the park entrance fee and are not covered by the NPS annual pass. In addition some reservations are covered by the annual pass but have processing fees that will need to be paid for.⠀
⠀
While it is advised that you make your reservations in advance, there are tickets that are held back for release a few days before the date they are valid for.⠀
