Our Trip Itinerary in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Puerto Vallarta aerial view We have stayed in Puerto Vallarta for 10 days, this includes the two travel days and two remote work days. On the first day we have arrived very late in the evening and on the last day we have left for the airport by noon. So, technically we have spent only 6 full days in Puerto Vallarta. Having said that, we were still able to get out of our Airbnb and take a stroll at Malecon Boardwalk and get some local food on the remote work days. At the end, Puerto Vallarta turned out to be a great place to relax and enjoy food as well as to have some adventure and get to know the locals.

Tobago, Uncharted Waters: Our Trip Itinerary Parlatuvier Beach, Tobago Where is Tobago? Fresh fruits At Buccoo, Tobago Tobago is an island located in Southern Caribbean. It is officially part of the country Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and 35 km / 22 miles away from the main island Trinidad. Why did we visit Tobago? It is a Caribbean island full of sand, sunshine and ocean, so it is perfect for a beach vacation. Furthermore, it is not your average resort island, well it is not a resort island at all, which makes it great of travelers looking for authentic experience. Majority of the tourist in Tobago are local tourist visiting from Trinidad. It is one of those off the beaten track locations with white sand empty beaches. Our Traveler Profile Two 30 something travelers with limited time. One vegetarian and one non-vegetarian. We both enjoy water and active life style as well as human interaction and authentic experiences. Englishman's Bay, Tobago

Barbados: Our Trip Itinerary 🇧🇧 We have spent two full days in Barbados. We have arrived on an evening, spent the next two days on the island and left in the morning on our last day. I wish we could have stayed longer, but this was part of our two weeks Caribbean island hopping trip and two days was the only time we can spare. I would like to return in the future and definitely spend more time. I know most people who visit Barbados, do so on a cruise, and spend only one day on the island. In that aspect, our two days trip was actually longer than how long most travelers spend on this island. Though I still envy people who is either retired or working remotely so they can stay longer. Let us start from the beginning. Why did we pick Barbados as one of our hops in our Caribbean island hopping trip? I will probably have a separate post on this whole island hopping trip, but in short, I specifically wanted to visit Southern Caribbean. The reason being I wanted to go to the islands that I...
