While we still travel to new places whenever we get the chance, there is just something magical about Napili Bay, on the west coast of Maui, that keeps drawing us back like the tides at sunset. Napili Bay is a little, unspoiled, corner of paradise, free of high-rise mega resorts, crowds, and the chaos from which we came to Hawaii to escape. Read the Article »
This is day three of driving a Tuk Tuk around Sri Lanka with Large Minority.
Today was the longest drive of the trip and honestly, it was the toughest. I love that Large Minority is never more than a quick text away, because I honestly don’t know if we would’ve ever gotten up that mountain without them. 😫
Also, have you heard of Short Eats? If you’re ever in Sri Lanka, be sure to try as many of them as you can. We had a hard time finding one we didn’t like.

Have you seen my sunglasses? Seriously.
These were my favorite sunglasses, and they’ve officially been missing for a year now. A whole year. And yes, I’m still sad about it.
I’ve actually been scrolling through old photos trying to retrace my steps and figure out the last time I wore them, because apparently this is who I am now, slightly unhinged over a pair of Kate Spade sunglasses from 2019. 😫
I guess I’m officially at the age where little things like this drive me absolutely crazy. A missing pair of sunglasses is what’s sending me over the edge.
At this point I’m not sure what I’ve lost more, the sunglasses or my sanity.
Is it silly that I still have hope they’ll randomly turn up in a beach bag, the back of a drawer, or some mysterious pocket I’ve somehow missed 47 times?
Please tell me I’m not alone.
What’s something small you’ve lost that still haunts you to this day?

What’s one of your favorite family trips?
This list came up because I was curious if my favorite trips match my kid’s favorite trips. I asked them for their top five and compared their list to my husband‘s and mine, and the results actually surprised me.
I couldn’t believe that Greece didn’t make the cut. ( it’s one of my favorites) I was even more surprised that Ireland scored really high. ( We were only there four days.) What my little poll really showed me is how much timing can make or break a family trip. Where you go, what you do, and how old the kids are really matters.
We first visited Costa Rica back in 2019, so I thought it might fade from memory, but it’s still topped both of their lists, which showed me that some places just stick when the timing is right.
Now truth be told… Our road trip didn’t make either kids list, but I added it anyway with hopes that one day they’ll look back and think of all those crazy roadtrip memories as some of their fondest as well. I guess only time will tell. 😜
You can read more about some of our most loved destinations, and the ages the kids were when we went over on the blog right now. Link in bio. #familytravelblog #travelwithkids #travelinspo #familytravel #familytravelideas

As promised, this is our second day of driving a Tuk Tuk around Sri Lanka. Day 2 was our first official day on the road with Large Minority.
Every day on these trips comes with a map, an itinerary, and a challenge. Each challenge is designed to pull you a little deeper and immerse you into the local culture.
I won’t lie… today’s challenge (and hike ) tested us, but the view? 100% worth every step.
And, can you believe somehow my blessing bracelet is still holding on today!
Oh! Tuk tuk tip of the day: invest in driving gloves. Tuk tuks are not kind to dainty hands.
Follow along for Day 3 #tuktuklife #srilankatravels #adventuretravel #travelinspo #srilankatuktuk
Who would you invite?

Who else loves this feeling?
How lucky was I to wake to this beautiful sunrise on the first morning before we set off on our Sri Lanka tuk tuk roadtrip. I freaking love the feeling of waking up the first day in a new place.
