Day 1: Pool & Straw Market

I usually spend my first day in the Caribbean hanging out by the pool/beach of my hotel/rental. Make yourself a cocktail and lounge in the sunshine

In the afternoon, head over to the Straw Market to take in some of the local culture. It’s a great place to buy handwoven straw crafts. (Their baskets are amazing.) It is also a nice place to buy souvenirs.

Day 2: Sandy Toes

Take a 25-minute boat ride to the island. So, what is the best thing to do here? SWIM WITH PIGS! I was shocked at how clean the beach/water was with pigs walking around, but it was spotless. They were so adorable and we had fun petting them.

Weekend in Las Vegas with Teens

Weekend In Vegas with Teens

Las Vegas is known as Sin City, but it is actually a fun place to bring teens. There is lots to do besides casinos and bars. With a little planning, Las Vegas can be a vacation for the entire family. Here is our itinerary for a weekend in Las Vegas with teens:

How long would I stay?

Honestly, I would say 2 days is long enough to explore Vegas with teens. We flew in and out of Vegas on our way to Sedona, Arizona and that was enough time.

Friday- Day 1

Fly in to Vegas. I actually love flying into Vegas because you get a beautiful aerial view of the desert and the Hoover Dam. Try to get a window seat.

Check in to your hotel. I recommend the Palazzo Towers at the Venetian Hotel. (Read our full review of the hotel here.) I recommend getting a Luxury Two Queen Suite. With a sunken living room, huge bathroom, and 2 comfortable queen beds, it is a great room.

For lunch, head down to the main pool to where you can eat outside. (The avocado toast is delicious.)

First stop is St. Ann’s Church. This beautiful church was built in 1887, and has been in continuous use as a summer chapel since that date. It is one of the most charming churches I’ve been to in the United States. It is located right on the coast and the views are breathtaking. The architecture of the church matches the beauty of its surroundings. It looks as rugged as the coastline with its stone walls.

Ireland Itinerary

Since my husband is part Irish, Ireland was a trip we’d been wanting to take for years, and I’m so glad we had the hance to take the girls. Ireland is a magical destination filled with historic castles, jaw-dropping landscapes, and charming towns. This 8-day Ireland itinerary takes you through the Emerald Isle’s most iconic sites, from the legendary Cliffs of Moher to the vibrant streets of Dublin. Along the way, indulge in local Irish cuisine like fresh seafood chowder, hearty stews, and, of course, a pint of Guinness. With its mix of history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality, Ireland promises an unforgettable adventure.

How was the driving in Ireland?

Driving was insane! Cars drive on the left side of the road with the steering wheel on the right side of the car. As if that is not bad enough, I can’t stress how narrow the roads are. Lots of people told us that before we went…actually everyone mentioned it…and I can see why. My neck hurt at the end of the day from leaning to the right the whole time. I could never drive there but my husband looked like a pro.

Where do you fly in to Ireland?

The best place to fly in is Dublin Airport (DUB), which services the eastern counties, Cork Airport (ORK), servicing the southern counties, and Shannon Airport (SNN), serving the western

Day 1 was a perfect introduction to Barcelona, Spain, so I couldn’t wait to explore the city more today.

GOTHIC QUARTERS

Since it’s time for some lunch, it’s also time to walk around the GOTHIC QUARTERS. This section of town is filled with historic buildings and mazes of adorable streets. Find somewhere that serves lunch outside and have some sangria. After lunch, keep walking around stopping for a cocktail, some gelato, or souvenir shopping. It is the best place to people watch. (Read my full review here!)

CATHEDRAL OF BARCELONA

In the Gothic Quarters, head toward the CATHEDRAL OF BARCELONA. There is often street performers and musicians playing in the square. Take a peek inside the church.

Dinners is at EUSKAL ETXEA. At this authentic tapas restaurant, you can eat as many tapas as you’d like and at the end of your meal, they will count up the toothpicks to see how much you owe. It’s a great way to try new tapas.
