Cabo San Lucas
December 3, 2020
Hola! As always, it's been a long time! A lot has happened since I last wrote, in my life and worldwide. I'm a little rusty but wanted to share a trip I recently took to Cabo San Lucas. I was in desperate need of quality time with myself and this trip was just what the doctor order (and I'm my own doctor, get it? hahaha) Here are a few snaps and outfit details. I hope this is a sign of me dusting off my blogging boots and getting back into it. I hope you're all still up for the ride!
A huge thank you to my dear friend Patricia (follow her Instagram) for coming along with me!

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos where we enjoyed an all-inclusive resort which is perfect when all you have in mind is to relax and not stress about the details of your vacation. On the day we arrived we had a smooth check-in, toured the room/hotel, and celebrated my birthday at the Mexican themed restaurant.
We started our full day at the resort with a massage at Rock Spa. I booked a deep tissue massage and enjoyed from the sauna, steam room, and hydrotherapy experience. It was the perfect way to peel off all the stress I was carrying and start off our vacation! We spent the rest of the day lounging by the pool, walking by the shore, and had dinner at the Zen Teppanyaki restaurant.
This was followed by a tour through the city of Cabo San Lucas and a shopping trip. We found a never ending passageway of local stores and bought tons of souvenirs. I loved all the bright colors! We then spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool.
Day four was spent, you guessed it, by the pool! We took full advantage of the "all-inclusive" situation enjoying pool-side meals and wine. We also had fun painting some pottery as an additional souvenir. Then we saw the sunset, had dinner, and put on some face masks!
For our last full day we went on a boat tour to the Arch, had lunch at The Sand Bar right on San Lucas Bay, enjoyed time at the beach, extra time by the pool, and a final dinner. It all sums up to the perfect holiday!

The Cruise: What We Did and What I Wore
May 4, 2018
¡Hola! Here it is! Today I'm going to let you in on our day-by-day from our 6-day cruise through the Caribbean aboard the Norwegian Escape. Our experience was amazing and we will definitely be booking another cruise with Norwegian Cruise Lines in the future! This is going to be a long one so grab a drink, some snacks, and settle in to enjoy!
We arrived into Miami the day of the cruise, praying that there wouldn't be any issues with our flight. Thankfully there were none and we made it just in time. Since you check in your heavier luggage (they take it to your room later on), we had prepared our carry-ons with a change of clothes and items to freshen up for the night. We explored the ship, which is HUGE, attended the mandatory safety briefing, and had dinner in one of the complimentary restaurants.

We woke up in Nassau, Bahamas! As you'll notice as we continue, we did not take any of the cruise's excursions. They were too expensive in our opinion and we just wanted to enjoy the beaches. We got off the ship, explored the town and shops for a while and then took a taxi to Cable Beach. The taxi was $6 per person including a pay toll. There we rented out 2 chairs and an umbrella for $30 and bought 4 beers for $20. The beach was beautiful with cristal clear water though there were pretty strong waves.

Once back aboard the ship, we actually went down all of the 3 slides the ship has before grabbing a late lunch and heading back to the room for a nap and getting ready for the evening. After dinner in one of the complimentary restaurants, we checked out The District, a bar aboard the ship with craft beers which had great atmosphere and a photo booth!

Day 3 was spent at sea so we explored all that the ship had to offer! We slept in, had a late breakfast at the buffet and checked out the minigolf course. Can you guess who won? We then ended up in an art auction which was a new and cool experience (and they were handing our free champagne!). We even spent some time working out in the gym!

In the evening, we got ready for dinner and joined the fun going on in the atrium where they would host game shows and competitions every night. Then we experienced After Midnight, the ship's own Tony Award winning musical! The tap dancing was incredible!

We arrived into Ocho Ríos, Jamaica on Day 4. Once off the ship, we hired a local tour guide for $30 each (much cheaper than anything the ship had to offer) which took us through all the famous local spots: Dunn's River Falls (we opted not to do the falls because it was an extra charge and was pretty crowded), Fern Gully (anyone remember the movie FernGully: The Last Rainforest?), a scenic stop, the Taj Mahal shopping center, and lunch at Mama Marley's where we enjoyed some of their famous jerk chicken.

On Day 5 we arrived into our favorite island from the whole trip: Grand Cayman! We were the first off the ship, which had to be by tendering (when a small boat takes you from a larger boat to shore). When we got in, all the shops were closed but we still walked around and explored the town. We already knew we just wanted to spend the whole day at the beach so we grabbed some beers and jumped on the local public bus which took us to the beach for less than $3 per person! Once on the beach, we rented out 2 chairs and 1 umbrella for $15 (half of what we payed in Nassau) and just relaxed. The water was cristal clear, calm and warm. It was definitely our favorite beach from the whole trip!

A quick shower and change of clothes and we were off to dinner and a show! This night we experienced For The Record: The Brat Pack, a musical with all the best songs from the 80's. If you're like me and love The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, etc., you'll love this show!

Our last day before arriving into Miami was spent at sea. We just chilled by the pool, ate ice cream, went on the slides one last time and hit the gym.

At night, we had dinner, had fun watching the games hosted at the atrium, and then saw Thor: Ragnarok in 3D in the Theater with free popcorn! It was the perfect ending.
