The hubbs and I have been married for 4 years now, and we
have done a pretty good job of cramming as much travel in as we could during
these years before baby, visiting over 22 countries together! We traveled
{internationally} at least twice a year, sprinkled with weekend getaways
domestically - fully taking advantage of all vacation days and every holiday, guilt-free!!
We figured once the kids come, we'll be home bound for countless
holidays, and we're blessed to have family nearby and get to see them as often
as we'd like. Obviously a blessing and a
curse. ha! {Totally kidding, family :)}
Earlier this year, we planned a summer anniversary trip to
Portugal. And in God's perfect timing,
it also worked out so perfectly that this trip will double as our
BABYMOON!
My criteria for traveling
while pregnant are 3 things: 1) European destination {non developing or 3rd-world}, 2) timed
during my second trimester {when the health risks are few, and I'm not yet big
as a house} and 3) culture along the coast! Again, even though we planned this
trip pre-pregnancy, it falls seamlessly on all 3 things. So perfect!
So here we go - less than a week from today - we're off to Portugal,
Croatia and Germany for 15 days. It
sounds like a lot but I think its just enough time.
Here are just a few places of the beautiful places on our
itinerary:
Hvar Island, Croatia
Dubrovnik, Croatia
{We're definitely taking the Game of Thrones Tour!!!}
Munich, Germany
Algarve, Portugal
Lisbon, Portugal
Porto, Portugal

Now, the only problem is....WHAT TO PACK?!?!? Check back next week; hopefully I will have
figured it out by then.
XOXO!
So excited for you two! I would love to see a packing post. Exactly what you brought, how much space it took and what you actually wore. :)
