And So It Begins . . .

Alyssa & Keith, your favorite rookie world traveling pair, will soon be exploring the world!  But, even before that whirlwind adventure begins, we will be making some pretty incredible warm-up trips in the good ol' USA. So we thought we would begin our travel blog now, to update our friends and family on our whereabouts, explorations, and mishaps as we make our way across the map.  We will update this blog periodically with pictures, maps, and entries to stay connected!

Our First Stop:
Newport is only a short drive away from our hometown of Boston, MA.  It is a popular vacation destination for New Englanders.  It is known for its nice beaches, quaint character, and above all for its famous historical mansions along the Cliff Walk.

We will be staying at a local B&B (through a sweet deal - courtesy of Alyssa's amazing online shopping skills).

Stay tuned for answers to your burning questions?  Will Alyssa finally get a tan? How many margaritas can one couple drink under a beach umbrella?  Will Keith finally make Alyssa brave the frigid New England ocean water?

We leave on Monday!  And the weather is looking pretty good!  Wish us luck!
