So remember how I was wishing I had a warm weather trip coming up in the near future? Well my dreams came true and at the end of next week I am heading to Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and St. Maarten with my good friend Krystal, courtesy of Celebrity Cruises!

I am very excited, but admittedly a little nervous only because I have never been on a proper cruise before. I grew up spending time on boats, but was always with my family versus thousands of people, and we were never out far out at sea and could get to a harbor very quickly if necessary. So even though I have a bit of anxiety around the idea of boarding a gigantic cruise ship, I think it’s mainly because I am not quite sure what to expect, you know? Have you guys been on one before? What did you think?

Regardless, I am still super excited to have a week away with a good friend where there will be ample time to relax, spend time by the pool catching up on books I’ve started and haven’t finished, and of course experience places I haven’t been before! It’s about a week and a half away so I am definitely starting to think about what I want to bring with me on this excursion, which is why Shopbop’s sale couldn’t come at a better time!
