Cartagena

Cartagena de Indias is a city in Colombia founded in 1533 on the Caribbean coast of South America. The old, walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reminiscent of an upkept Havana or a quieter New Orleans. The little city is full of romantic Spanish-Colonial architecture with bright colors and flowers, flowers everywhere!

Los Angeles, California, USA to Auckland, New Zealand. $225. Yes. You read that correctly. 

So off we went. Another adventure chosen FOR us, rather than BY us. 

Here’s how my husband and I visited both islands in one week:

Cuba Vive

For my birthday this year, my husband surprised me with the best gift: a surprise trip to Cuba!
