In 45 Days....

THIS will be my view....


We have booked a little family getaway!  It's been 14yrs since we've traveled....our honeymoon to be exact.  I can't wait to get on the beach although I will admit that I'm not too fancy about the travel to *get* there.  LOL  The last time we went to Mexico (not our destination this time) our experience was less than stellar in every respect and has made me gun shy about going anywhere ever since.

Here's where all you seasoned travelers come in;  Please leave me a comment telling me your top 5 travel tips!!  I need advice!  I will say that we are going to the Dominican Republic, but will reveal our exact spot upon our return for safety reasons....

Looking forward to what you have to say!!

Bye for now!

  1. So jealous!

    My top travel tip would be to buy some food at the store and eat in one some day.

  2. whoooooooooooooop! ENJOY! Top five travel tips? 1. Bring your bathing suit, tooth brush & travel sized deod in your carry on...you just never know with luggage!2. Travel with food, 3. don't pack a hair dryer- waste of space because 1. you never want to dry your hair when you're some place tropical and 2. they have a hair dryer in the room, 4. don't forget your camera, 5. Eat lots of fresh tropical fruit!

  3. Ooh FABULOUS! What a fantastic trip! So excited to hear about it! Okay I love Erica's recommendations above. Definitely take advantage of sinks and bathtubs to wash your clothes. Pack stuff like mousse and face wash in ziploc in case they leak. Bring nail polish in the ziploc in your purse instead of your bag, IT WILL LEAK and make a terrible smell. Makeup goes in carry on. SUNBLOCK. Bring bran cereal preportioned in case you get const. Take digestive enzymes. :)

  4. Sounds & looks like a fabulous destination! And the tips in the comments above pretty much sum it all up I think. The older I get, the less "stuff" I bring.

  7. HOW EXCITING!! I'm super jealous, but hey, you deserve it!
    Ok, I don't have 5 tips (I don't travel enough....) but the one tip I will provide is to WEAR SUNSCREEN! Yep, the last time I went somewhere really sunny in the middle of winter I failed to wear sunscreen and I was burned the entire time. It was awful!
    Have a blast!

  8. ohhhh! I'm so excited for you guys and your vacation! My best travel tips are to bring lots of granola bars/trail mix for emergency snacks, always have water, sunscreen and insect repellent are always needed and to make sure you enjoy yourself!!

  9. Yippeee, that is so exciting, Krista! I would say don't over-pack when it comes to clothes (I'm a huge overpacker and always only use about half the clothes I bring!). Also, make sure to bring food for when you're traveling, since it can be hard to find good stuff at airports. Have fun!!

  10. Oh how I am jealous - I so want to travel just for a vacation somewhere.

    My travel tip - buy some of those face wash cloths (you know, made by olay, or whoever) that aren't moistened, and use them to refresh yourself while you are travelling. You can take them on the plane and use them wherever, plus they take up minimal space (pack a dozen in a ziploc bag), and don't count towards your liquid allowance on the plane :)
