Cabo Weekend: Nuestro último día en el paraíso

(posted by Emily) 

31 August 2014

On our last morning in Cabo, we grabbed some breakfast and then headed out to the beach for a walk. Even if we couldn't swim in the water, we still wanted to touch the ocean. The bright blue of the water and curve of the shoreline reminded us of Nice--minus all the rocks :) 




We stopped by the adults only pool on our way back, and decided laying out in the shade sounded like a great plan for the morning. Rick stopped for a quick pic in one of the shallow relaxation areas, then we popped upstairs to put on our suits. 

After some quality reading time, a bit of swimming, and some lunch, it was time to pack up and get ready for our return shuttle. The only downfall of having the hotel book the transportation was that we were scheduled to arrive at the airport waaaayyyyy too early. Bummer.

The new Terminal 2 has great amenities--lots of restaurants and shopping, and comfy bench seats for catching a nap on. I let you decide which of those I opted for :) It seems as though the terminal only handles US departures, most to cities in California, AZ, or TX.

In all, we had an amazing trip. Great food, fun adventures, and good drinks--it felt long and relaxing, and we were definitely both bummed to leave!

If you are planning a trip to Mexico in the near future, we would highly recommend an all-inclusive property--especially the Hyatt Ziva! It was such an easy flight, I know we will be back!

Summer 2018: Luang Prabang

Image
With 5 nights, 6 days in Luang Prabang, we had a great opportunity to deeply explore the city. It reminded me of the SE Asian version of Cheers - you will see people you know almost every day (“Oh! There’s that guy who sat next to me on the plane!” “Look! The people we did the elephant trip with!” “Hey! There’s that family we met in Hanoi at the tailor.”). It was fun to people watch, make new friends, and learn about a new place and its people.   EAT :   Bamboo Tree -  Offering both a restaurant and cooking school, Bamboo Tree has great local food. They use fresh ingredients, and prices aren't too expensive! We stopped in for a late lunch one day, and dinner another. Didn't go to their cooking school, but it has great reviews! Tamarind Tree Restaurant -  Down at the side of the peninsula near the Mekong is Tamarind Tree. Cheap eats, great vegetarian options. The restaurant is simply a few easy ups and tables, but we ate there thre...

EuroAdventure15: Welcome to Crete

Image
(posted by Emily) 1 July 2015 Crete, Greece about 5,000 steps (~2 miles walked) After a sleepless night in the Athens airport, we were on the first flight to Crete. We were on Aegean again, and from takeoff to stepping foot in the airport in Chania, it only took about an hour!              We are renting a car in Crete, because of our plan to stay at an Airbnb property up in the hills. Because I don't want to jinx anything or bring about bad karma, I'll just leave this pro tip here for you, and you can infer what you want :) I can explain more later!  Jetsetting ProTip #1: If you intend to rent a car on an international vacation, you'll want to plan to bring your driver's license.  (Shout out to Edith for being the best housesitter and hero of the day!) Waiting for our car and our issues to be resolved Our new frind from Athens Car, explaining how everything works to Rick Phew. On the road. Because we couldn't check in to our Airbnb until 15:...

EuroAdventure15: Off to Naples

Image
(posted by Emily) 7 July 2015 Athens, Greece Rome, Italy Naples, Italy On Tuesday we were up early yet again to head to the airport. Because of the continuing "situation," metro services were still free! That was definitley one nice perk of being in Athens while we were there--we probably saved 30 Euro! Though I think they could have used our money..... Even the Metro trains have street art on them. The first three cars are usually totally covered with colorful tagging and art. At the Athens airport, we had just enough time to pop in to the GlobalAir lounge--a perk of Rick's credit card again. We grabbed a quick breakfast, then it was on to our flight. This was our first time traveling on RyanAir. Just like EasyJet, it's a lost cost carrier that charges for just about everything--checked bags, extra cabin bags, food, etc. They are very minimalist (no seatback pockets), and just about everything is an advertisement.
