When I think about traveling, I’ll admit I don’t think out of the box. I know I want to travel more and visit Egypt one day with my kids but other than that, I have yet to expand my horizons when it comes to travel.

Check out these tropical beauties perfect for unwinding, communing with nature, and creating awesome memories.
