Travel: Beach Must Haves
Beach must haves – here are the top 9 items I need to hit the beach. Now, I’m not a beach girl at heart. Nope, put me on the beach and I’ll probably last 3 hours, and only if that includes a snack and lunch. On our recent trip to Akumal, Mexico I lasted an amazing 6 hours. Two key reasons. One, it included two snacks and lunch. Two, we got a cabana. The shade and comfort is key. Now, I still don’t think I…
Travel: Hopper Experience
Our hopper experience – using the hooper travel app – was awesome. Set to travel to Mexico in February (we just got back on Monday) I signed up for the app in about June of 2018. The app functions around predictions, yet from all of the things I’ve read, it’s not a guarantee you’ll get the lowest price.

Travel: Tulum Snapshot
About 3 weeks ago I saw an article and the headline read ‘Tulum is so 2018.’ It talked about new and exciting places to visit.

Check out this Tulum snapshot. Riding bikes, visiting the ruins, or eating authentic Mexican food is what Tulum is about. Oh, and smelling the warm…
Travel: Akumal Snapshot
Here is a little Akumal snapshot – we’re staying about 100km south of Cancun in Quintana Roo, Mexico. The town is small, yet has a lot of personality. Oh, and if you were curious, we’ve done pretty well by just packing for Mexico in a carry on. It’s been great! My favourite thing about Akumal? The food – it’s delicious. From beach days, to reading quietly by the pool, all the way the swimmable lagoon, Akumal has so much to offer. The warm days are…
Travel: Mexico in a Carry On
We’re travelling to Mexico and we love to travel light. Not only does it make the travel days easier, yet it also makes prepping for the trip and the trip itself smoother. So, here we go – Mexico in a carry on. I’m not about sacrificing style, yet about maximizing pieces and being comfortable and stylish. Too many options, for me anyway, causes anxiety about ‘don’t wear that yet’ – fear of wasting an awesome outfit on a boring day – it’s silly, I know.…
