Travel With AW… Girls Gone GREECE!

Good morningggggg! Oh my goodness WE ARE SO EXCITED to announce that THIS FRIDAY 12pm EST is the official launch of our GIRL’S TRIP TO GREECE! Yep, the launch was delayed a bit from our first projected date but we are all set and ready to go! So I wanted to get on today and chat about that PLUS give you more details about the trip in general before we open up booking! As y’all know I absolutely LOVE to travel and beginning this travel extension of Addison’s Wonderland is a dream come true.

First let’s chat about the trip… our very first “Travel With AW” trip is a girls’ trip to Greece! The trip is October 7th-13th and will begin in Athens, Greece and end in Santorini, Greece. I have been to Greece, both Athens and Santorini, twice now and it is truly one of (if not) THE most incredible places I’ve ever been and I cannot WAIT to experience the beauty of it all with 20 of YOU!

The trip will be seven days and six nights… two nights in Athens and four nights in Santorini. Both hotels will be four star accommodations and each room will be double occupancy. If you are traveling with someone, great! If not, wonderful! We will chat with y’all after all spots are booked to determine how best to pair those traveling alone. This first trip will be a girl’s trip but we will definitely be doing lots more including couple’s trips and even some more adventurous ones headed up by Ab. This trip will be such a great opportunity to see the world, meet new friends and have some serious YOU time away from it all! Throughout the seven days, we will be doing lots of adventuring, shopping, eating, drinking and relaxing. We’ve planned it out to be what I feel like is the perfect mix of it all!

The trip cost is $3799 per person and includes six nights of accommodations (double occupancy), airport transfers (depending on arrival times), two group dinners, all breakfasts, several tours all led by our own personal local guide, a ferry from Athens to Santorini plus a few extra things Ab and I will be throwing in! The trip does not include airfare to Athens, Greece or airfare from Santorini, Greece back home. We are happy to answer any questions about that and will be putting together a private Facebook group to aid everyone for the trip!

Now let’s chat about why I delayed the launch a bit. As y’all know, I LOVE TO TRAVEL. Ab and I want this “Travel With AW” venture to be all kinds of amazing with several different trips each year so perfecting this first one was beyond important to me. For our travels, we are utilizing a group travel platform called Trova Trip. They have lots of pre-set itineraries and are able to organize, plan, and book it all for a lot less with a lot more ease than for Ab and I had we arranged it alone. I quite honestly went round and round about it because while the cost, knowledge and liability benefits were amazing, their itineraries were very set in stone… So I thought…

After going back and forth with Trova A LOT, speaking with our planner, and pricing out the trip with several travel agents, we decided to continue with Trova because we were THRILLED to find out that they agreed to make all of our requested changes even though that’s not something they’ve done before. The first change I wanted to make was to end the trip in Santorini rather than Athens. Sounds strange, BUT I felt like possibly for a few of you, six nights may seem a bit short for a flight to Europe. We felt it was perfect for a fun-filled girl’s trip, but also wanted to offer the option to extend your time in Santorini on your own OR to island hop if you decided to! Since we have a local guide leading our trip, it took a little more configuring than it may seem. Next, we wanted to upgrade the hotels a bit and change up the location. After having visited each place twice before, I knew what I wanted and it wasn’t part of their set itinerary. We also chose to change up the two local group dinners (small detail) and for Ab and I to add some fun little touches. ANYWAYS, I promise promise promise the delay was worthwhile and we sooooo hope you will join us!

P.S. Space is limited… we have 20 spots with several already filled so if you are in, make sure and book THIS FRIDAY!!!

XOXO, Brit and Ab

    The views of this vacation is amazing! I so wish I could do this and it was in our budget. It would even be better if it was a couples trip. Going with you would be cool since you have the experience of Greece already.

    Hi! OMG…this itinerary would definitely be a “bucket list” trip for sure! I have three grown daughters and would love to do a girls trip like this one with them! The only problem with this one is the timing of the dates. My youngest daughter is getting married October 14, 2023. Hoping you will do this again maybe next year?

    My husband and I love to travel as well! If you ever do a couples trip, we are in! šŸ™‚ I’m a retired school teacher and want to travel as much as possible now that the school calendar is not a factor! Please keep me/us in the loop!

    Thanks so much! Kelly

Can’t even remember the last time I posted a ran Can’t even remember the last time I posted a random house view šŸ’— Gosh I miss the old IG days! Earlier this week I was drying my hair and saw the sunlight shining through the mirror and had to snap a picture. I’d say our 1908 home ā€œlibraryā€ functions much better as a bathroom these days 🄰 Just might be my favorite room renovation!

It just went up in our historic renovation project and I’m in LOVE ā™„ļø Sharing more new renovation/design updates on stories today! P.S. We are lowering it for the actual room design but the ā€œbox installationā€ šŸ˜‰ had it up a bit higher.

Renovating cabins together is where it all began f Renovating cabins together is where it all began for us ā™„ļø Looking back I can’t believe how much John just leapt right into it all with the first cabin I purchased just six months into dating but those moments are ultimately what led us to eventually take a chance and merge careers. I’ll never forget our 7am chat on the beach over Spring Break 2021 when we decided to go for it. We chose his resignation date and prayed we could make it all work! Needless to say, one of the best decisions we’ve made. It’s not for everyone but working alongside my spouse is something I genuinely love. It’s the joint passion, path, visions, sacrifices and small victories that you get to experience together that makes what we do seem less like work and more like an adventure. Of course this project is complete but y’all know me… always adding and fluffing and zushing and dreaming! Here’s a peek at what we were up to last weekend. P.S. I shared a much bigger and better peek at the newly installed and newly styled pot rail in our kitchen on the blog this morning along with a tutorial on how to drill into tile. P.S.S. @serenaandlily is having their Spring Design Event where EVERYTHING (including sale items and this gorgeous new rug) are 20% OFF with CODE: SPRING 🌺 Happy halfway to the weekend again!

Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest and most adorable student from France this month and it just so happened to be her 15th birthday yesterday! Although I thought it might be a bit creepy for me to stick to our standard tradition of sneaking into the girlies bedrooms at night for their birthday balloon wake-up ā€œsurpriseā€ā€¦ I did sneak in Caroline’s room while she was in school yesterday. I know it can’t be easy to be away for so long so I wanted to treat her like my own and do a little simple something. It’s been such a blessing to have another kiddo join our big, crazy family this month. Joyeux Anniversaire Caroline! šŸ‡«šŸ‡·
