I’m grateful to be welcoming in the new year by cataloging the important parts from the previous year. It helps me have the right mindset going forward. In preparing to write this 2023 recap, I enjoyed going over details of events that I had already forgotten about. I am so grateful that I hold myself to doing this annual digest, even though it’s more for me than the readers of this blog, because it brings out incredible reflections on the […]

Our Seven Day Barbados Itinerary.
Ah, Barbados. The place where we learned how to drive on the left side of the road, saw wild monkeys, and drank the best rum cocktails we’ve ever had. It’s a relaxing, beautiful island filled with happy people. There are so many exciting things to do that it can be challenging to figure out what to include in your Barbados itinerary – hopefully, this post can help you decide. I’m sharing what we did with our seven days in Barbados […]
Eight Things I Loved About Barbados (And Four Things I Didn’t Like).

What I loved the most about Barbados was the extremely friendly people! I […]
A Day Trip to Klein Curaçao with Miss Ann Boat Tours.

Klein Curaçao, or Little Curaçao, is nearly seven miles from the southern coast of Curaçao. It’s a small […]

Young or old, adventurous or reserved – the stunning sights at Shete Boka National Park shouldn’t be missed by anyone.

We were staying at the Blue View Apartments in Westpunt at this point on our trip and were less than 10 minutes away by […]
Our Massive 10 Day Curaçao Itinerary.
Our trip to Curaçao turned out to be the dreamiest vacation we’ve ever taken. I suppose a colorful, tropical island with hints of Europe is easy to fall in love with. I spent so much time putting together this 10 day Curaçao itinerary because I did not want to miss out on a single thing Curaçao had to offer. However, having lupus and a six month old baby did limit the trip in some ways. Before all this we would create overflowing itineraries, […]
