NICARAGUA.

I'm in the process of moving Tiny Bits from Boo to my new site, haleycarpenter.com, and can't wait to share it with you all when it's finished. I'm finally getting around to sharing photos from my birthday trip to Nicaragua last year. We stayed at the Mukul Resort, and it was absolutely magical. Located on Nicaragua's Emerald Coast, just two hours outside of the capital of Managua, Mukul is one of those rare places that has not been discovered yet. The pristine beaches, breathtaking views, and exceptional staff made this an unforgettable vacation.

GUANTANAMERA, TEQUILA, AND LOTS OF SUN!

My mom, sister-in-law Julia, and I returned home from 5 days in MEXICO last week and it was pretty wonderful. Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE Mexico, everything single thing about it is pretty FABULOUS.  My love of Mexico stems from growing up visiting this country for as long as I can remember (Hello, Texas and Mexico are literally next door neighbors!). We stayed at the Villa Rolandi and it was absolutely fabulous.  I would highly recommend anyone vacationing in Isla Mujeres to look into staying at Villa Rolandi.  Everything from the rooms to the service was wonderful and we would definitely go back to this quaint little island.   

I have to admit, for the past 20 plus years I have heard the song "Guantanamera" in all of its' many forms, the good, the bad and the ugly.  Somehow until  searching for a link to the song for this blog post, I had NO idea that the song was not called "wonton tomato" or some play on those words, yes I'm very serious! Wow, all these years and I finally figured out the real name of the song... learn something new everyday, right?  You can check out the song "Guantanamera" here.  

MEXICO!

DREAMING OF MEXICO.

I'm headed to MEXICO in less than two weeks and SO looking forward to basking in the sun and taking a break from this chilly weather here in NYC.  Just a few of my must-haves for a Mexican getaway, and did I mention I'm even more excited to over indulge in MEXICAN food while on vacay!
