We were last in Europe in the Summer of 2023! It sounds like such a great deal! But there a couple of things you should know when it comes to those too good to be true travel deals. You pay for how your time is used and keep that in mind for everything that you do. Getting a group rate airfare means that there is no upgrading and not many options. In short, the control of your flights does not belong to you. You can’t use points or miles for upgrades You can add the trip to your account though If there is any delay or cancellations, the tour company or cruise line will be in charge of how the problem gets remedied. The before and after Choose to fly in early and explore something close by or stay on later to enjoy after your tour. A few examples are PARIS, ROME, A GREEK ISLAND Even cruises are jumping on board the extended stays! Often, these are offered as an add on but look closely and you will see that they often easily arranged and cover simple venues and activities. The Layover The art of the layover has been analyzed from every angle possible!!! From Anthony Bourdain’s show to movies about airport life. The Layover is a great way to capitalize on your time. Airport Layovers like Munich or Istanbul Get out layovers like copenhagen or Heathrow Airports that might have a tougher layover: Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam You need MORE than 10 hours to make these worth it. You have the options! | |||

We were last in Europe in the Summer of 2023! Dear Babcia and YiaYia- I’ve been researching trips to Italy and Ireland. I don’t want to plan an entire trip DIY style but I don’t want to follow a package deal on a crowded bus either. So far, I haven’t found something that takes into account everything that I’m hoping to do. With so many travel and tour companies to choose from, how do I know that I’m investing my time and money correctly? I don’t want to be disappointed in the end and I don’t want to waste my time. Can you give me some advice? Lets breakdown all the different tour packages that you can use to experience The first rule of travel is that you will always pay for your time. Without a slower travel pace and a flexible calendar you are not going to see a huge savings. This is especially true
Add on to one of those? The second rule of travel is that something will go wrong
Often from a church or a community group (bus tours of ___) The third rule of travel is that you’ll NEVER, EVER get to everything on your bucket list
Not the “best of” The fourth rule of travel is that DIY isn’t always the best option (Christmas cookie ingredient analogy)

We were last in Europe in the Summer of 2023! Not editing your trip well. Not taking the time to Journal Not pre booking the big draws Not leaving the good stuff at home Being the target Additionally, things like statement tees (especially offensive ones) are frowned upon. This isn't a judgement thing, it's simply a safety thing. Take this statement "we love when Americans visit! They spend so much money!" Remember those pick pockets. Lastly, the number one cause of death for tourists is car accident. Predictable. The number two? Accidental falls and drownings. In other words... death by selfie. Not paying attention to the calendarNot Shopping around.Thinking that cheaper is always betterRenting a car for the whole time Not Booking as directly as possible. Breakfast plans, anyone? Not thinking through your breakfast optionsNot putting in the Research time.Not Finding a playground.Not Booking some downtime. | |||

We were last in Europe in the Summer of 2023! Luggage scale Instead of a suitcase scale, choose to pack your suitcase to capacity without over-stuffing it. Hairdryer Umbrella Instead of an umbrella, pack a raincoat. This will provide hands free cover and a little warmth if needed. It can also be layered to insulate in colder weather. Selfie stick Instead of a selfie stick, make a friend and have them take the snap. Many places are banning them anyway. Every emergency item you’ve anticipated Instead of a medication organizer for overseas travel, keep all of your prescriptions in the issued bottle. Additionally, take a picture of each one to ensure you have a copy in case there's a need to seek out a pharmacist. Travel size products Instead of dedicated travel containers for liquids, or worse yet, travel size products, hold back the last of your full size products and toss them at the end of your trip to make room for your travel memories. Good jewelry Instead of a dedicated jewelry container, wrap your jewelry in a beeswax sandwich wrap so you have your jewelry and a way to wrap a mid day snack! The wax wrap will keep your jewelry from tangling and it's washable. Bulky water bottle Neck Pillow Instead of a neck pillow, pack a multi use wrap. It's not bulky and will always come in handy. Every electronic accessory ever Our solution is to ensure that every piece of electronics that we pack does more than one thing. By the time, we examine all of the different gadgets out there, we take our iPhone, a charging pack, and the cords we need to run it. That's all! No camera, no extra iPad. None of it. It's so much easier! We also pack a water bottle that we can lose and we download as many books as we possibly can whether we do that on our Kindle app or on Audible. All the stuff that’s in your purse just because Shoes Fanny packs Over American logos Over colored nails | |||

We were last in Europe in the Summer of 2023! By far, your biggest single expense you will deal with on any trip are your tickets to get you to your destination! How do you choose wisely? Well, there's more to consider than just price. Most airlines like to route travelers from smaller airports to designated hubs that allows for easy transfer to international flights. When deciding which tickets to purchase, take into consideration that hub and whether or not it's convenient for your whole group to meet at or simply pass through. Choose accordingly! In addition to your wait time, you may have others, like grandma and grandpa, joining you on your trip to, say, Europe. Consider having them meet you at your hub so you can all fly to your final destination together. This gives you more adult hands on the longest leg of your trip. Whether I'm traveling on my own or with a group, I use the TripIt app to keep my itinerary straight. This app imports your email details into an easy to use timeline that helps you ensure that all of your reservations are taken care of and not overlapping. This includes flights, lodging, sites and transportation. Once you have a trip started, you can share it with all of the travelers in your group and interested parties who need to know where you are. Everyone in your group can keep up with the planning progress and share in the excitement. You will save time and money by carrying on/Plan your luggage needs. When buying your tickets, check into the luggage policies. Will the amount of bags you are taking be covered? What are the stroller and car seat policies? Can you choose your seats ahead of times? What are the carry-on requirements? Packing for a trip is dicey. You want to take everything you will need but you don't want to lug it all around. Research the best advice out there and keep it to a minimum. Checking for good laundry options will also help you pair down your packing. There’s only one way to get to a destination/ Choose an alternative airport. You are headed to London and the tickets are expensive. However, there's a $500.00 difference from home to Paris. Okay, get to Paris and take the train straight into St. Pancreas Station. You just saved about $1000.00! Consider other airport alternatives: Shannon and Dublin, Warsaw and Krakow, Glasgow and Edinburgh, the list goes on. You may find that you have the opportunity for an adventure you never even considered. having a good plan to get back to reality isn't such a bad idea. This is also a good time to check on customs policies for your destination. For example, travelers go through customs before boarding flights in Dublin. Know what to expect. Everybody has to fly together. Choose a family friendly hub.Share your trip wisely.Have an exit strategy. | |||

We were last in Europe in the Summer of 2023! Top of the Krakow list is the beautiful Wawel Castle, the heartbreaking experience at Auschwitz and the story of Oskar Schindler and his factory. But there is more to this town than just the worthwhile big hitters. Here are five experiences we recommend to anyone who wants to take on Krakow. Admit it, it's the perfect food. Two bites of dough wrapped tastiness is about as good as it gets. Well, maybe being able to make them and eat them is as good as it gets! Check out the cooking classes offered by Delicious Poland as well as walking tours that let you get used to the local menu. We know, we know, but we didn't make a mistake! While the famous Mona Lisa holds court in the Louvre, her cousin, Lady with Ermine, has just recently been reinstalled to her place of honor in the Czartoryski Museum in the heart of the city. Noooo... not a pub crawl! We bet that you've already seen all of those little eco golf carts all over the center of Krakow. They are the perfect set of wheels to explore all of those amazing churches dotting the old town and beyond. Don't get us wrong, there are plenty in walking distance from the main square and you'll get to see everything from priceless altar pieces to the altar dedicated to St. Hyacinth, the patron saint of the pierogi! However, those eco carts can get you to some of the further flung churches like Corpus Christi and give you a little bonus look at the Kazimierz District! Each and every one has a different look and a different feel. Each has a little bit of a different story and plenty of historical references including side chapels with amazing art and architecture and religious references including the hometown hero saints like Pope John Paul II and Maximillian Kolbe. Summer is the perfect season to enjoy the European football season (even if you aren't a die hard fan in real life). In all reality, the game isn't the point. The experience of being in a pub or cafe as the game is on with people cheering for a team is the true fun of it all. So, book a table, figure out which side everyone is rooting for and blindly follow as best you can. Trust us! You'll have a ball! The Vistula River winds its way through Krakow connecting the Old Town and Kazimierz areas with the Podgorze district. The Father Bernatek Bridge was built in 2010 and is a lovely place to cross. This footbridge is dotted with acrobatic sculptures that seem to balance on the high wires above. Rent some bikes and enjoy the crossing as the sculptures dance above you. 5 Things to experience in Europe's best kept secretCook up perfection in a pierogi class.Take in the glory of Leonardo DaVinci.Partake in a Church Crawl.Watch the game!Walk the bridge. | |||
| 4.2 Our solution to overpacking: The capsule wardrobe | 05 Jul 2023 | 00:25:23 | |

Have ideas or questions about what you'd like us to cover? Please e-mail us your questions or ideas at babciaandyiayia@gmail.com Visit our blog and website by clicking here! We were last in Europe in the Summer of 2023! You hear it all the time! Create a capsule wardrobe to be a successful traveler. It makes any potential packer think that they need to order and buy specialty clothes to only use when there's a suitcase at hand. Not so fast! We, here at Babcia and YiaYia, think that you might be selling yourself and your closet a little short. That's right, we think you probably have far more than you think to complete the perfect travel wardrobe. You already know all of the things in your closet that are high maintenance They wrinkle fast and never wash well. You probably pull them out once or twice a year. They probably won't pack very well anyway. Additionally, you probably know what kind of weather your head toward so out of season stuff is not part of your packing equation. It's your favorite one and you pair it with black and white all the time. Ours is blue. It goes with our complexions and never fails to photograph well. You probably have this color weaving in and out of every rack in your closet anyway. Black. White. Denim. These wardrobe basics are the foundation to your mix and match packing style. It's time to start pairing items together so that everything you take pulls a double shift. We start with the amount of days from take off to laundry. Do you have seven days until laundry? Then you need 5 bottoms in cool weather and 6 bottoms in hot weather. (Why six? Try sweating all day and then trying to look refreshed for dinner.) Seven days also needs 6-7 tops. There are many people who will give you different numbers but sweat doesn't lie. Then make sure each top has a different bottom that will make a new look. If you like dresses, simply subtract one for every dress you plan to pack. Just remember that every dress you take needs to pack well. It also needs to be useful. Dresses for a rafting trip won't do you much good but an easy to use maxi dress might be just perfect for evenings in Paris. No matter what the weather, we always pack a wrap, a cardigan, and a scarf. Sounds like overkill? Well, we find that we use every single item every single time. Wraps are perfect as a double for plane blanket or pillow. The most important thing about these pieces is that they go with every single outfit we bring. You are definitely going to need walking shoes. These will most likely be your bulkiest shoes and you will most likely wear them on the plane just like us. Additionally, you are going to want a pair of shoes that turns all of your outfits into a smarter look for evening. This may be a pair of flats or sandals. The point is, they elevate your look somehow to give you a little oomph. Take all of those picks and pack them up. Try not to open it for three or four days. Then, take it all out and decide if it's a keeper. You're ready to make a shopping list of the very few things that may be missing. | |||
