Fernweh...

The travel bug is a real thing.  You feel it in your bones.  And before you know it, it's taken over your mind!  Around this time of year, it's hard not to get the nomad itch.  It's the desire to see, hear, taste, and smell something new.  And of course, buy a few unnecessary vacation necessities.  It's usually things you have plenty of and really do not NEED, but there's something remarkable about the feeling I get when I pack fresh Basic Tees and a brand new bronzer into my suitcase.

During a recent Pin Interest binge, we stumbled across the most perfect word to describe our early Summer travel funk; Fernweh.


We have been officially diagnosed.  Fernweh - proving that the travel bug is real.  SIGH, we feel validated knowing we are not alone.

To make matters worse, we spent a little down time today perusing the store's Assouline books.  We had a hard time making it through In the Spirit of St. Barth's and Paris Hotel Stories, but it was Condé Nast Traveler; Room With a View that really did us in.

The book is literally about the world's most dreamy hotel rooms.  It's cover to cover full of the most vivid photos, detailing the best rooms, within the best hotels, with the best views.  See a few below that made our favorites list.

Call it what you will.  

I've had enough.  Meet me at the Admiral's Club; I'll be the girl with the floppy hat and glass of Chardonnay awaiting my flight.
