When there’s really only one place left in the world that you want to see before you die, you better believe your expectations are REALLY high… That place for me was New Zealand (notice I say was) and I honestly don’t know why.

Since my husband and I love the desert, we often land in Palm Desert and rent a house with my sister-in-law. We mainly do five things during our time there; eat, sleep, walk/hike, shop, and swim. This year was no different, except…
