This trip was a long time coming, and it was worth the wait! Our Greek vacation, originally planned for September 2020, was postponed due to COVID, but good things come to those who wait. Finally, 16 of us jetted off to Greece, kicking off our trip by exploring Athens before embarking on a 10-day island-hopping adventure. Highlights included touring the majestic Acropolis, day-tripping to Delos and Mykonos, and hiking from one end of Santorini to the other (Oia to Fira). We savored mouthwatering traditional foods, explored the iconic white streets and blue rooftops of Santorini, and enjoyed a fantastic meal with a view of the caldera—breathtaking! Our catamaran trip around Santorini was a hit with everyone, and we wrapped up our vacation on the laid-back island of Naxos, where we loved the relaxed atmosphere and charming small town charm.

Vietnam is one of my absolute favorite countries! There’s so much to see and do, with each city offering its own unique experiences. We journeyed over 1000 km by bus, shuttle, taxi, airplane, and train. Our adventure began in Ho Chi Min City, where we savored a delicious home-cooked meal made just for our group by the wonderful hostel owner. We felt so welcomed! Next, we dived into history by exploring the War Museum and Chu Chi Tunnels. A few days later, we soaked up the serene vibes of Da Lat before heading to Mui Ne for some tropical beach time. Hoi An was a cultural treasure trove—we had a blast making lanterns, indulged in lots of Vietnamese coffee (coconut coffee, yum!), and set wishing lanterns afloat on the river. We all agreed we’d need at least a week in Hoi An next time! Another highlight was touring Hue by cyclo and discovering the Imperial City. Hanoi was a bustling metropolis with a vibe completely different from Ho Chi Min. We stayed in the old quarter, wandered through vibrant markets, and ended our trip with an unforgettable three-day Ha Long Bay cruise, where we kayaked, fished for squid, and feasted on traditional dishes.

This vacation we experience everything the Yucatan had to offer.  We climbed a pyramid, toured an island by golf cart, spent the day at a Hacienda and swam in the clearest cenote, toured the ‘yellow’ city, and even explored a flamingo biosphere by boat!  We took a Bike ride around a small town and immersed with the locals. It was an amazing trip!

We zipped around Isla Mujeres in golf carts exploring every inch of the Island. In Merida we wandered the city’s parks and historical buildings then took day trips to Izamal; the enchanting yellow city and Celestun where we enjoyed a private speed boat tour to see the flamingos in the wild. We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon having lunch and relaxing on the most beautiful beach. In Valladolid we swam in the cool cenotes and finally ended our time in Playa Del Carmen where we picked up some last minute souvenirs from the trip. Such wonderful memories and friendships were made on this trip by all!
