Some trips change your plans. Others change your life. ✨💍

Annecy Part 2 is where adventure meets romance. From long bike rides around the lake to paragliding off a mountain and floating high above Lake Annecy… this episode takes a turn straight into the heart. 🏔️🪂💙
And somewhere between the adrenaline and the views, James asks a very important question.

🎙️ In this episode of Connections & Carryons, we share why Annecy became more than just a destination, and how it became the beginning of our married life together.

Welcome to Part 1 of our Annecy series, where we discover why this lakeside gem has become our #1 pick for a future retirement escape. We wander the canals of the old town, savor Alpine classics like raclette and fondue, and find ourselves swept up in a surprise festival filled with alpine animals and outdoor activities.

Join us as we fall hard for Annecy’s charm, flavor, and unexpected magic.

London gave us everything—from Sunday roasts to fever-dream pasta palaces. 🇬🇧✨
This week we’re spilling the tea on The Hereford Arms, the wild interior of Ave Mario, the magic of Dishoom, and why Flat Iron has us dreaming about steak… and ice cream.

Join us on part 1 of our London trip where we go back to the 90s, get recruited to become a potential traitor, and take in the fall vibes around the city. 

It's a reunion many years in the works. Join us as we discover dairy farms, a walk through the history of the US Air Force, and our search for Dave Chapelle in Yellow Springs so Jess can yell "What?!" at him. Join us as we make our way through my high school stomping grounds that is Dayton, Ohio. 

Join us on our adventure around Chicago where we sing Oasis songs, discover bike trails, 3 Dots & a Dash, and a late night trip to Chicago emergency rooms.
