Far Travels

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

I read this prompt and immediately thought of the few Caribbean cruises I’ve been on since those were definitely when I was furthest away from home. I have so many good memories of these cruises with my husband and his family, but one of my favorites is from when we went to Grand Turk. We did an all inclusive excursion that had unlimited rum and cokes, so my husband (boyfriend at the time), and I were determined to get our money’s worth LOL.

After we were done with the excursion, I wanted to grab a souvenir for one of my friends back home! We went into a shop and I grabbed a cute little container with sand and shells in it that said Grand Turk (I think?) and called it a day. Once we were back home and I was unpacking and getting all of the gifts together, I realized that the cute little souvenir I got for my friend had a name on it… and it 100% was NOT my friend’s name (LMFAO)!

Obviously I couldn’t just turn around and head back to the shop to grab a new item with her name on it, so I ended up having to give my friend that souvenir and explain to her why it said Katherine on it when her name is Alexis. 😂 Overall not the end of the world and is a hilarious story today, but I learned that I should definitely do my shopping when I am NOT intoxicated!
