First time flyer?

There’s nothing quite like the excitement (and nerves) of your first time on an airplane. Whether you’re heading out on a dream vacation or taking a short business trip, flying can feel overwhelming if you’ve never done it before. But don’t worry—I’ve got your back. Here's a complete guide on packing, airport navigation, and in-flight comfort to ensure a stress-free travel experience.

FLY FOR FREE WITH CREDIT CARD POINTS

I’m going to be very upfront: I am not a professional at the points game. I know some of you could read this and think, wow, she could’ve squeezed 10x more value by transferring points to X. That’s fine. This worked for me, I was happy with it, and I would absolutely do it again. If your goal is to fly for free with credit card points without turning it into a second job, this is a very realistic approach.
I wasn’t expecting much. I just needed dinner. 🍽️ Kome ended up being one of the best meals of the entire trip.

Wood-fired everything. A menu that actually makes you read it twice. A vibe in Pietermaai that feels nothing like a tourist restaurant and everything like somewhere locals actually go. I didn’t rush. I didn’t check my phone. I just ate, start to finish, and enjoyed every single second of it.

If you’re in Curaçao and you only have one nice dinner make it this one.

Renting a golf cart in Bimini was genuinely one of the best decisions we made the entire cruise, and if you have a stop there, I cannot recommend it enough.

✨ Off the ship and behind the wheel within minutes 
✨ Multiple beaches, food stops, and random pull-offs 
✨ Zero tour schedules, zero waiting on strangers 
✨ Just the island, at your own pace

Honest caveat: if you prefer a guided experience with everything planned out, a tour might suit you better. But if you like doing your own thing? This is it.

If you go to Bimini and don’t get conch salad… what are you even doing? 🐚

I’m not exaggerating when I say this ended up being one of my favorite parts of the whole trip. It’s a local staple, and after talking to enough people on the island, I realized fast, Bahamians have very strong opinions about where to get the best one.

So we made it a mission.

We tracked down the three spots that kept coming up over and over again, and I tried them all so you don’t have to guess.

Full breakdown is linked in bio. 🔗
