MUST SEE Grand Cayman
Grand Cayman. Raise your cyber hand if you’ve watched The Firm. Growing up in the 90’s, we were definitely intrigued with John Grisham, Tom Cruise, and the Cayman Islands. My husband and I visited awhile ago (almost 7 years now!) with our then 1 1/2 year old and really enjoyed 7 Mile Beach (pictured below). One thing that I love about our family is all of the travel we have been able to include in our lives. It has been rare lately that we are all home at the same time. Our sister and brother, Priya and Chris, recently visited this past June (actually at the same resort!), and they…

Island Travel Interviews- Caribbean Islands, Take 10 (St. Barts)
Hi there! In my opinion, you can never plan too far in advance for a Caribbean Island getaway, especially if it is to a dreamy place like St. Barts. Two of my neighbor couples (plus one additional couple) recently traveled to St. Barts on a couples’ trip. Read on to learn more about what to do on St. Barts.

Let’s learn about the Gold Coast in Australia with Megan from A Traveling Tribe! Megan and I went to the same college and then coincidentally (and so fortunately for me!) ended up at the same elementary school (for our children). And then, she moved on me! To Australia!!! It has been so much fun for my kids and me to FaceTime with Megan and her kids to hear firsthand all about their fun adventures and discoveries. The first time we attempted FaceTime, the kids basically just stared at each other, but…

Island Travel Interviews- Cambodian Islands, Take 1 (Koh Rong Samleom)
Before we begin this week’s Island Travel Interview series on Koh Rong Samleom), here is a bit more information about the Honeymoon Backpackers, taken from their bio: Mon and Dyl are newly wed Aussies, who quit their jobs and gave away everything they own, to travel the world on their endless honeymoon which began in May 2016. They’ve since witnessed the northern lights in Canada, surfed with dolphins in Australia, swam with whale sharks in the Philippines, bathed with elephants in Thailand, sand boarded down a volcano in Nicaragua, bungee jumped 147m in Costa Rica, conquered the world’s highest tandem skydive in America, scuba-dived with turtles in The Caribbean, snowboarded…

**This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Aruba. How I love Aruba. It’s been awhile since we’ve been but I’m quite certain I would still love Aruba. Just off the coast of Venezuela, this Dutch Island had the warmest of breezes and seas when we visited. I’m excited to compare experiences as Megan from Some Places I Am Moderately Excited About shares a more current view of the A of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao).

Where to Eat When Visiting Paradise Island
We have been to Paradise Island several times. While it seems that the majority of restaurant options are in Atlantis, we have found several alternatives. So, if you feel like venturing off the resort grounds (which isn’t far since the entire island is something like 4 miles long and half a mile wide) or are not staying at Atlantis and don’t feel like walking over, here are some options.

The Cloisters on Paradise Island, Bahamas
Island Travel is amazing… white powder-sand beaches, clear turquoise water, peach-colored sunsets, blue skies with wispy white clouds, and, of course, yummy drinks. Paradise Island has all of these things… and more. *This post may contain affiliate links, meaning that, at no cost to you, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Having a father who used to teach history, I have become accustom to travel that involves some sort of history lesson. This schooling, however, has the benefit of taking place in paradise. The French Cloisters is located in the One and Only Ocean Club’s Versailles Gardens. It overlooks Nassau Harbour. The Cloisters is what remains from a 14th century…

Island Travel Interviews- Caribbean, Take I
Island Travel is one of my favorite kinds of travel. There are so many activities, beautiful sights, and pretty drinks… and the pure relaxation… I have my favorite, first choice, don’t-have-to-ask-me twice island, but I thought it would be fun to ask some other travel bloggers about some of the islands they have traveled to. Get ready to be amazed! (Every week I will feature 2-3 Travel Bloggers sharing their island experiences.)
