How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Palm Trees & Blue Skies! ~ WW

in Travel on 12/08/16

This morning my view looks like this.  Pinch Me.  As I sit in the warm tropical breeze at Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a little piece of heaves.  How could I not?  Paradise is literally right outside my patio doors.

There are palm trees and ocean views.  Warm pools an sandy paths.  Sunny skies and adventures to be had.  Today will be filled with paddle boarding, kayaking, jet-skiing, food eating and picture taking.  There will be swimming, laughing, and exploring,  Today is going to be a very good day.

Wishing you all a wonderful week and hope you are enjoying a little bit of paradise today.

Disclosure: I was provided a media trip in order to help facilitate my review. As always all opinions on this blog remain my own.

      What a dream come true this vacation would be for my family. We could really use that kind of relaxation after all the stress of the holidays!

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
