Travel Plans for 2017

If there’s something I like more than putting down my travel plans on paper it’s talking about them. I feel like the more I talk about them the more real they become. It’s already March and I have a few trips planned for the year, so here we go!

For quite a few reasons, I was torn when my older sis asked if I wanted to join her for a weekend in Cuba. My entire family is from Cuba and they fled the island many years ago because of political reasons. So, I wasn’t totally on boat with the idea at first, but after I had time to think it over I thought “What the heck! Let’s go!” I will be in Havana, Cuba for just a short weekend at the end of this month (in 5 days to be exact). I am very excited to see where my parents & grandparents grew up, as well as dance some salsa with the locals!

Thailand has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember and I am finally going this year! My older sis & I bought our flights in January and we will be in Thailand for about two weeks and a half in late May. We plan on seeing a little bit of everything including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, & some of the islands. So, to say that I am ecstatic would be the understatement of the year.

In August, my ohana and I are taking our annual vacation to Hawaii 🙂 We’re all super excited about it because we’ve never been & we’ve heard such great things from Hawaii. We decided that the best way to see the most in the least amount of time would be if we took a cruise, so we booked with Norwegian Cruise Line and will be able to see about 5 to 6 islands.

I’ve heard rumors throughout the family about Colorado in the Winter, but they’re only rumors. Other than that, I don’t know where else I might go or what opportunities might come up or where the year will take me. All we can ever hope for is grand adventure.

Until the next adventure.

La Taqueria, San Francisco CA

La Taqueria is the holy grail of burritos. It has been named the best taqueria in San Francisco, won an award for the best burrito in the nation, and was recognized as having the best tacos in the United States.
La Taqueria is a small hole in the wall with limited seating and a line that ends outside the door, but they are ridiculously efficient and usually have a mariimg_0039achi band in full form in the background. Go in hungry and I guarantee you will walk out rubbing your belly in the good way. The carnitas were outstanding, the beans were flawless in seasoning, and they did not add rice to the burrito, which highlights the flavor of the meat. Its capability to make people genuinely happy post burrito consumption is the true power of great Mexican food.

Until the next adventure.
