Sitting here blogging in our cozy home while listening to the sound of the pouring rain outside&#8230; is a Sunday I sure love. I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already June. Half of 2016 has come and gone &#8211; time keeps on flying faster and faster. I&#8217;m feeling the itch to travel; the past 8 months have been religiously dedicated to the house and travelling has taken a back seat. So lately, my heart longs to plan a trip, even just a smaller one for this year.  <span><a href="https://www.charleneprecious.com/blog/where-to-travel-this-year/" class="readmore">Continue reading &rarr;</a></span>{"id":17866,"date":"2016-06-05T15:46:17","date_gmt":"2016-06-05T19:46:17","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/?p=17866"},"modified":"2016-06-05T15:48:16","modified_gmt":"2016-06-05T19:48:16","slug":"where-to-travel-this-year","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/where-to-travel-this-year\/","title":{"rendered":"Where to travel this year?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Sitting here blogging in our cozy home while listening to the sound of the pouring rain outside&#8230; is a Sunday I sure love.

I&#8217;m feeling the itch to travel; the past 8 months have been religiously dedicated to the house and travelling has taken a back seat. So lately, my heart longs to plan a trip, even just a smaller one for this year. Here are the 3 we&#8217;re deciding between:<\/p>\n<p>OPTION 1: Havana, Cuba &#8212; to see this city before it changes forever<\/p>\n<p>OPTION 2: US road trip. Route 1 Pacific Coast Highway drive from San Diego to Santa Barbara, with stops in Los Angeles and Santa Monica &#8212; 2 years ago, we drove from San Francisco to Santa Cruz so it&#8217;ll be nice to see the southern coast this time.<\/p>\n<p>OPTION 3: Similar to Option 2 but start from Santa Barbara, drive down to Los Angeles, and onto Arizona. The scenery changing from blue oceans to the red desert is just going to be absolutely breathtaking.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m leaning towards Option 3, just have to get the hubby to buy in. :)<\/p>\n<p>Back again soon and happy Sunday!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05.28.16.jpg\" alt=\"cinque terre, travel, travel photography, travel art\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05.28.16.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05.28.16-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05.28.16-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Where to travel this year? - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/where-to-travel-this-year\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Where to travel this year? - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sitting here blogging in our cozy home while listening to the sound of the pouring rain outside&#8230; is a Sunday I sure love.
