| You know the feeling: someone you know – in this case, my colleague, Melissa Killian – is living it up on what seems to be the trip of a lifetime. It was not FOMO, though. This was JOSH (joy of seeing happiness) because our darling Mel was on her honeymoon in breathtakingly beautiful Sardinia. And it got me thinking: deciding where you and your freshly-wedded spouse take your first adventure as a connected pair can be as stressful as planning a wedding itself. A trip this major deserves special attention, so my next move was to reach out to our colleagues at Elsewhere by Lonely Planet for a Sardinian itinerary to cosplay Mel (and to help me decide between Sicily and Sardinia this summer). Here’s the deal: Elsewhere by Lonely Planet is our boutique travel-planning company. It has a network of local experts who have the hook-up, the down-low and the inside goss on where to go, what to do and where to eat and sleep – and they’ll plan the whole thing for you.
