Favorite Destinations
Hawaii is probably my absolute favorite destination I've been to. I love the people, the culture, and the history. You can always find me with a book on something to do with Hawaii. My love for the islands goes back farther than I ever realized. When I was over at my mother's home, we were going through some old pictures. We found one from when I was about 3, dressed in a grass skirt, flower in my hair, and coconut top. I live and breathe the spirit of aloha, from cooking Hawaiian receipes to driving my family crazy with my Hawaiian and other island music playlist on Pandora to learning how to hula to even learning the Hawaiian language. I won't even go into my Hawaiian shirts and pineapples!
Probably tied with Hawaii would be Tahiti and Fiji. I was in Fiji in February 2019 and Tahiti in December 2019, and they were experiences like no other. From beautiful scenery to equally beautiful people, the South Pacific is a place where you can very easily lose yourself. I definitely left a piece of my heart there.
I am also a huge fan of the all-inclusive resort model. Being a mom, I am all about not having a ton of stuff to look after while we're away. Money is one of those things. With all-inclusive packages, everything is included unless you want to go off property for an excursion. The all-inclusive model makes it easy, and can be found all over the Caribbean and Mexico.
