Puerto VallartaÂ
Best Neck Pillow for Travelers
Researching through countless travel pillows and tons of reviews I finally found a great travel pillow to travel with. This is luxurious and easy to blow up- actually no blowing up at all just push the button and it inflates. It fits very easily in the bag and you can hook it on your carryon luggage. So excited to finally find something that you don’t have to blow up. Its a great neck pillow, check this out on the link below.           Â
DJI Mavic Mini Drone
We have finally found a drone that is lightweight and easy to carry in your suitcase. Works directly with your iphone so you can see the video as you are flying. So thrilled to have purchased this, great price and takes great drone videos. Check out our latest one on our YouTube channel of Puerto Vallarta.Â
MY AMAZON PICK OF THE MONTH
My favorite iPhone Case!!!!!
Hi There!  I’m Lara and I am from Scottsdale, Arizona. I have lived here for more than 25 years and Iove it. My hubby and I are fortunate to be able to travel the world to explore exciting destinations. When our son went off to college we became empty nesters and decided to go for it. No sense in staying at home when the world is your oyster!! Follow along with us and learn about interesting places an “off the beaten path” experiences.  We are not the type of people who like to stay in fancy hotels all the time – for us its about the experience! Well let me rephrase that, I do like those fancy hotels but the only way to learn about the city and the people is to immerse yourself.
This travel blog originated in 2018 and since then we have really traveled the world, check out our passport page and read about some of the exciting places we traveled to the last couple years.
Thanks again for checking us out.

The perfect take-along on road trips

Read more about some of my favorite accessories under my travel tips.
Lightweight Rain Jackets
This jacket is approved from The Scottsdale Travel Chick, used this jacket on a recent trip to Costa Rica. Not only is it ACTUALLY waterproof but also has vents on the side that you can unzip to keep cool in the humidity.
Charging Case
Airports can be one of the hardest places to find an outlet to charge your phone. Luckily, iPhone came out with a charging case! This makes it easy to charge your phone at any time, even when there’s no outlets available.
Bose Noise Cancellation Headphones
How many times have you been on a flight and questioned why you are sitting next to a family with a screaming baby? These headphones go with me on every flight, don’t fly without your Bose headphones.
Backpack
We use this backpack on all of our trips. This one folds flat and easily can fit into your suitcase. It has 3 compartments and one side can hold a large water bottle. This is a great backpack to take if you are walking around the city or taking a bike ride through the countryside.
