Found Paradise on St. Barth's

When I think back on our trip to St. Barth's, I think of relaxed opulence, winding hill roads with sweeping ocean views, lively nightlife, warm clear turquoise water, swaying palms, and food to die for. It has easily made its way to the top of my favorite Caribbean islands list. 

Scotland Road Trip

As much as we were sad to say goodbye to Edinburgh, we were excited to venture out and start exploring Scotland's vast countryside.

Touring Edinburgh

It's been awhile since my mom and I took a trip together, just the two of us. We were due for a girls trip. We decided to immerse ourselves in our Scottish roots and take our mother/daughter trip to Scotland. 

We arrived to Edinburgh in the morning and headed straight to our hotel. Our room was not quite ready so we freshened up in their spa changing rooms, then hit the ground running. 

Getting Lost in Dubrovnik

I'm just going to ignore the fact that this trip now feels like a lifetime ago. I am clearly not consistent with posting. 

Island Life of Hvar

Our next stop on our Croatia road-trip was the island of Hvar. We arrived to Hvar by car ferry from Split and settled right into island life. 

Well, it took us a while to actually find parking. Then, even longer to find the hotel as we roamed aimlessly around town. Once we finally found the hotel we were advised we needed to move the car. It was parked on a cliff that we (when I say we, I mean Jer) would have to climb an abundant amount of steps to reach. With the help of the hotel staff, to assist with the luggage, Jer went on a mission to move the car. Upon his return, he was dripping in sweat. I offered him a nice refreshing cucumber water. Then settled in. 

Split Walking Tour

I'll admit, I underestimated Split. It was not high on the list of stops I was most looking forward to on our road trip. Merely, a stopover before getting to the good stuff. 

We decided to take a walking tour, since I had done little research on this area, and I quickly fell for this coastal gem.
