#adayinthelife of a #boy mom 🥰🥰🥰 @kimlewandowski92 you feel me, right?!
Our last little side trip before boarding our 2023 - yep, still behind in sharing all the deets - #virginvoyages #transatlanticcruise on #valiantlady was a stop at #monjuic in #barcelona. 🚢BONUS: It's right next to the cruise port. 🧳So we dropped our luggage off as early as we could - 9:30am - and grabbed a taxi to the station to catch the cable car. 🚖The cable car ride was smooth and long enough to feel like you were getting your money's worth. It also hadn't gotten crowded at that point. You hit those views, though, and realize you'd gladly spend twice that! We did not have time for the whole castle tour, so I can't speak on that, but the cable car ride itself was worth it. You can walk around the castle walls for no charge. If you're a planner, you could grab a picnic lunch from a local cafe and bring it with you or eat at the restaurant that is at the top of the hill outside the ride entrance. We decided against the restaurant because it was out of our budget, and we would be getting on the ship soon and could just eat at The Galley onboard. It was the perfect icing on the cake after all we did in Barcelona.
🌴TAKE ME BACK!!!🌴
🥳This summer party island is PERFECT in mid to late September and October for beautiful weather and fewer crowds. May and early June can also be a great time with warms temps and sunny weather.☀️
🚗Renting a car and driving is a breeze - lots and lots of roundabouts - so you'll have a wonderful time exploring beaches and sites around the entire island!
🛳Like cruising? Ibiza is also a popular cruise port. Enjoy your port day exploring Dalt Vila (Old Town), touring sea caves, or relaxing on one of many gorgeous Ibiza beaches. [I highly recommend renting a car for your port day, too.]🚗 If you're lucky enough to have an overnight port stay, be sure to catch a stunning sunset at one of the best viewpoints on the island. 🏝
✈️ It's gonna be a looooong one! 🥴 Can't wait to see my kid. And I'm *sure* he can't wait to see us either, and it's giving him the will to continue. 🤣 At least that's what I'm going with. In reality, he's sad to leave, as I knew he would be. And #timetravel really needs to be a thing! #DeltaAirLines
🦒🐘Just a few more #safari sightings and a #sharkdiving adventure! 🦈 Three more days, and he will be heading home. I can't wait to hear all about it. As much as we miss him, this has just been the trip of a lifetime, and I am here for every second of it. #tripandfalltravel #adventuretravel #southafrica
This is what 3# of dry pasta (cooked, of course), 20 hard-boiled eggs, onions, dill relish, and celery looks like 🤪 Let the mixing begin! Can't wait to dig in tomorrow.

🌴✈️Planning a vacation doesn't have to be stressful or cost you hours and hours of your time, only to find out when you get there that you picked the wrong resort for your vacation needs.😫
‼Psst! RESORTS are NOT a one-size-fits-all solution. Mexico alone has over 140 all-inclusive resorts, so what might be great for one family may not be great for yours.
🚫Don't get too caught up in online reviews. The good or the bad. High praises from someone who has completely different expectations than you will only lead to disappointment. Low marks may simply mean that person went for a resort that they *thought* was a "5 Star" resort because that is what it calls themselves, only to find out it's mediocre at best.
❓Do you interview a resort to find out the nitty-gritty? Probaby not. BUT I "interview" you during the consultation to find out exactly what you are looking for and to set your expectations based on your budget. This does two things: saves you from wasting your money on something that won't work for your family and matches you to the best resort for your vacation investment based on your needs.
