What inspired me
If you organize trips for friends and family, this is one for you. When I think group, I think easy wins with an all-inclusive, but after reading this, it makes sense that there are some destinations best suited for different types of travel groups. I might have to try a new approach next time.
It's still August, but we've already started to see fall creeping into our feeds, and for me, that means it's time to start planning a winter escape. I've been to a few of these, and a few are on my radar. Maybe the list will inspire you to start planning, too.
When people see a list of beaches, they often ask me how many I've been to. Thankfully, no one has asked me about this list (although the answer is two)! Maybe I'm missing out on some great beaches...
Somewhere new
I've only done one sleeper train trip, but it's something I want to do more of. These new routes seem like they would be a great place to start.
