The Re-Entry Process & My New Intentions

January 5, 2017 By Caroline Peterson

After nearly every international trip and cultural exchange, I go through this re-entry type-process back into my daily routine. It’s more than reverse culture shock, this is walking back into your routine with new a perspective, an appreciation for the things you have and a mental note of what’s truly important and needed in your […]

Cuba: Ready Or Not, Here We Come!

December 29, 2016 By Caroline Peterson

As you know, I’m a pretty good little planner. I like having my ducks in a row when I travel. Not every moment of every trip planned, just documents ready, arrangements made and bags packed in Tetris-like fashion. Cuba is probably the one country I’ve traveled to that having that planner personality is key. Except, […]

I’m Going To Cuba!

December 8, 2016 By Caroline Peterson

You may remember, I contemplated going to Cuba last year on my first solo trip.

My First All-Inclusive Resort: The Hyatt Zilara Cancun Review

April 22, 2016 By Caroline Peterson

But, it’s true. Hands down, an all-inclusive resort is infinitely better to me than cruising. I almost wrote cursing, which, as we know, is […]

Adios, Bitchachos! My First All-Inclusive Experience Begins.

February 25, 2016 By Caroline Peterson

I’m leaving on a jet plane for Cancun this weekend. My first time in Mexico. My first time at an all-inclusive. (Not my first rodeo with beergaritas.) My Type-A planner mind isn’t quite sure what to do. I haven’t felt it necessary to look up the best restaurants or bars because, well, I’ve got that […]

2016 Travel Plans

February 9, 2016 By Caroline Peterson

February: Cancun, Mexico Yup, you read that right. I’m finally letting go of the planning reigns and doing an all-inclusive resort for the very first time. We’re using points to fly and stay there. Duh. (Less one night paid in cash, so I can earn some points). A couple of our pals were planning on […]
