    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- 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…

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.
