Wastin' Away Again in Margaritaville...
I made myself a tropical yogurt bowl that included:
- 1 c. pineapple Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
- 1 kiwi, sliced
- “Overnight” barley (I put this on top of the yogurt last night & let it soften in the fridge overnight)
Tropical Delight
I also enjoyed a banana on the side.
Kiwi + Barley + Yog
Spoonful of the Tropics
When I sliced the kiwi, I took a cue from Kath and actually ate the skin! It was fuzzy but I enjoyed it! Who knew kiwi skins were edible?
As I enjoyed my tropical dish, I started thinking about all of the tropical places I would like to visit in my lifetime:
- St. Lucia (Honeymoon, what, what!? 🙂 )
- The Maldives (Ryan and I have a dream of going to this resort)
- Hawaii
- Australia
- St. Barts
I better get traveling! 😀
Questions of the Morning
- What tropical location would you like to visit?
- What has been your favorite tropical vacation destination?
My favorite tropical vacation destination would have to be Costa Rica. I went with my family when I was younger and had the best time zip lining, swimming in the ocean and exploring the jungle.

I just tried kiwi fuzz the other day too! i actually enjoyed it. it was crunchy and sweet, and not as furry as i anticipated it being! who would have thought?? you learn something new every day…
I would love to go to Costa Rica! We went to Jamaica for my brothers wedding last year which was beautiful, Hawaii was absolutely gorgeous, and St. John was also just as lovely. 🙂 I love, love, love beach vacations where you can be lazy!
I would really like to go to Thailand…and my favorite tropical island has been the Caribbean, we went on a cruise there when I was younger and it was amazing
I’ve never had kiwi fuzz, but I guess it’s not that different from eating the apple peel…funny how we pick only eat certain skins!!
St. Bart’s is gorgeous, as is St. Maarten, right next door. I’d love to go to Fiji one day!
A taste of summer! I’ve never eaten the kiwi skin, even though I hear it’s ok. It’s just too weird for me! Love the ocean pic:)
I agree!
I want to visit Bora Bora and stay in a hut over the water…. looks like a fantasy to me!
Oh, and the resort you’re spending your honeymoon at… it looks gorgeous!
Oops…I meant to agree with this comment! 🙂
I would love to go to Costa Rica! I love the adventure-oriented, tropical atmosphere.
I went to the Dominican Republic this spring as part of a university learning experience course. It was great!
Then I went back to Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvadore this summer to go backpacking for a month. It was incredible! I love El Salvadore.
Costa Rica for sure! And I definitely want to go back to Hawaii–I loved it there so, so much!
I’ve only been to Cancun once, but wow, it was so beautiful. I could see right through the water, it was amazing. I would love to visit Hawaii though. Maybe for a honeymoon one day!~Sophia

Hey Jules!~
You definitely just put me in a tropical mood! 🙂 I did not know about the Maldives until you posted about it and want to stay at your dream resort also!! The tropical places that I would like to visit are: Fiji, Bora Bora, St. Lucia (so jealous!), and Hawaii. The most beautiful tropical spot that I have been to is Aruba. Can’t wait to see pics from your honeymoon!
The only tropical place I have been is Hawaii!
Your banana looks perfect! lol
kiwi skins? sounds to fuzzy for me.
We will be going to Hawaii on our honeymoon. SO EXCITED!
This past spring we went on a western Caribbean cruise. Our favorite port was Isla Roatan, which is a BEAUTIFUL island off of Honduras. Seriously, just gorgeous!
I don’t think I could ever pick just one tropical place. Maybe the Bahamas?
Three of yours are on my list – St. Barts (where i’m hoping to go on my honeymoon..someday), St. Lucia (looks gorgeous of course), and Hawaii.
I too loved Costa Rica…so pretty!
Florianopolis Brazil was pretty amazing as well.
I’d like to go Fiji I think.
OMG….meeee too JB! I’ve been cutting out and saving articles on the Maldives for years! I’m dying to go there. Poor Ryan will need to be comotose for that trip, it’s a LOT of travel. I actually looked into flights because I’ll be just East of the islands when I’m in Singapore next month. It wouldnt be that much fun all by myself though!
doesn’t it look AMAZING??? i gotta start saving my money!
My favorite is probably Hawaii. I really want to go to Costa Rica!
I’d love to go to Grand Cayman, the Maldives, Bali, and Australia/New Zealand. Maybe someday!
My favorite destination, tropical or otherwise, is Aruba! My family goes every year and it even became the home of my 2008 beach wedding to the love of my life! Bonus: we get to go back every year for our anniversary!
I have never been to a tropical location and I don’t really have any plans to. It sounds so hot! I am not a fan of the heat. Oregon summers are already too hot!
But I would love to travel back to Switzerland. I went there over a decade ago and I definitely want to go again!
I’m SUCH a nerd- I totally forgot that you guys were going to St. Lucia!!! I think that is where we plan to go too!! We were looking @ Antigua, but St. Lucia just seemed more appealing. We both loved the idea of just laying on the beach all day- and the flight is not too bad..so, that’s nice. Do you have the resort picked out? (ok, dumb question, OF COURSE you have it picked out already! lol) We are looking @ the Sandals resorts – I know that there are like 3 there…so it’s kind of up in the air right now about the actual resort we plan to go to, but I’m 96.5% sure it’s going to be St. Lucia. I would definitely LOVE your review once you guys get back!! 🙂
I haven’t been to too many tropical places. Although I spent two years in Honduras which has tropical parts, I was in the very south where it is all dessert and no rain forest. I did take a trip to Roatan, an island off the northern coast of Honduras which was fantastic – it was my first time seeing the white beaches and blue-blue water. Loved it!
I’d love to go to Puerto Rico because of the hiking and beaches. I’d also enjoy the Canary Islands and Mauritius. Both look amazing but sadly out of my very low price-range!
I’d go back to St. Lucia in a HEARTBEAT, but I’d really like to visit Antigua. I hear it’s beautiful!
I’ve never been to a tropical location — so I have no idea!
Jason and I are planning some sort of caribbean vacation for next spring — we’ve paid off $30K in credit card and debt in the last year and now that we have some money saved we want to treat ourselves 🙂
I would love to bring my boyfriend to any tropical place. He hasn’t been many places and I’d love for him to see some beautiful beaches. My favorites place was Aruba.
Also- you inspired my lunch today. Ever since I saw you eating the cheese/avocado bagelwich I have been thinking about it. It was delicious!
Oh the Maldives sound amazing, I would love to go there also. Tahiti and Hawaii are some of my other dream vacation places.
Kiwi skin is awesome…I never peel mine! haha! You have GOT to go to Hawaii!
The only tropical island I’ve been to is Antigua. I would love to go to Costa Rica someday!
I love kiwis. I wish they weren’t one of the more expensive fruits. I’d love to go to the Maldives!! I think so far my favorite tropical place was Fiji.
Oh anything with pineapple is delicious…and kiwi, love that too though I never knew you could eat the skin…really?! lol…Delicious!!
Where would I love to travel to: Hawaii is the first place I would want to go. And then: Carribean Islands, Costa Rica, Mexico and France.
I’ve been to Hawaii. Its so beautiful there! I miss the hot weather already! =(
I’d love to go to Hawaii and also an Island in Malaysia! My favorite so far was a cruise stop in Jamaica – visiting the Dunns River Falls was beautiful!
I have yet to visit any sort of tropical location. Although I am beyond excited to go to Jamaica in April for my wedding! 🙂
ooooh fun! congrats!
The only tropical place I have been is Mexico in the Mayan Riveria! It was soo beautiful. I have been back to the same resort with my family 3 times. I got to go parasailing about the Caribbean Sea..so breathtaking!
i so desperately want to go to borabora!!!!
Definetly Mauritius!
I went to St. Thomas last month and it has by far some of the best beaches. Loved it!!
Hands down thee British Virgin Islands. They are ther most gorgeous place on earth, any of them.
Just took my 11th trip to Hawaii. (guilty pleasure) It’s my “happy place” I hope at some point everyone gets to see it in their lifetime it’s worth it, and easy to do on a budget. Most people think it’s very expensive, it really isn’t and worth every minute of the trip…. Can’t wait to see your honeymoon pics of St Lucia….
