Cuba: Ready Or Not, Here We Come!

December 29, 2016 By Caroline Peterson 4 Comments

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 9 Comments

You may remember, I contemplated going to Cuba last year on my first solo trip. While the US-Cuba traveling restrictions certainly improved, things were still a bit too unpredictable at that point with getting into Cuba that I didn’t feel confident in it. I knew it would ease up soon, but not soon enough for […]

How I Pack Just A Carry-On For Long Trips

June 2, 2016 By Caroline Peterson 1 Comment

I’m leaving on a jet plane for South Korea and Japan today, with only a roller carry-on and my laptop bag. We’ll be traveling for nearly two weeks. Boom. Nailed it. Bloody Mary in hand, of course. I won’t lie — packing can be the bane of my existence. But I’ve found that packing for […]

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

February 25, 2016 By Caroline Peterson 4 Comments

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 2 Comments

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 […]

My Next Adventure: Take a Guess Where & I’ll Buy you Something

September 17, 2015 By Caroline Peterson 10 Comments

It’s been a rough and tumble, rock ’em, sock ’em few months in our household. Things are certainly looking up after having to cancel our trip to Southeast Asia and finding a healthier balance with the hubster’s med school schedule though. After sitting down with him to make sure he was in a better place now both […]
