The Pink Palace of the Pacific, Our stay at the Royal Hawaiian, Waikiki

Royal Hawaiian Hotel Honolulu Waikiki Beach

When I was pregnant, it felt like a broken record hearing that I wouldn’t be able to travel as I did before or that traveling with a baby would be difficult. We decided early on that, although our travel dynamic would change, it wouldn’t stop us. So here we are, just returning from a trip we planned at the last minute. By "last minute," I mean we decided to go to Hawaii on a Thursday and were on a flight by Friday morning. A separate post about traveling with our literal bundle of joy is coming soon. This post is dedicated to the hotel we chose. Nothing seemed more perfect than taking our little prince to the “Pink Palace of the Pacific.”

Our First Trip As New Parents, The Intercontinental Monterey, CA

Intercontinental Monterey California

As someone who loves to travel, it was a blessing to meet a partner with a similar case of wanderlust. Discovering we were pregnant kept us grounded, which was something new for us. But the time has come, and we are excited to share our love of adventure with our bundle of joy.

New Year's Eve, coinciding with baby Rio's two-month birthday, was the perfect time for a getaway. It was an opportunity to dip our toes into traveling with our new addition.

Hotel Figueroa Downtown Los Angeles, CA

Hotel Figueroa Los Angeles Travel

 I have a love-hate relationship with Los Angeles. I love this city, love the weather, the people, the food but hate when I have to leave. Another thing I love about LA is the abundance of stylish hotel options. With a last-minute trip to LA and a need to be downtown, the Hotel Figueroa pranced through my mind. I stayed here previously when it was still under its Moroccan-themed demeanor.  The hotel has since undergone a renovation, and I was curious to see if I liked this latest LA facelift. 

Tropical Vibes, Puerto Escondido, Mexico

 

There are some places based on photos alone that beckon your name. When researching Puerto Escondido in the state of Oaxaca, the images that popped up had my name written all over them. A beach town with an infamous surf reputation drawing a bohemian crowd, I was intrigued.
