I'd like to recommend a game that brings me joy and would be great for traveling with! It's called Qwixx! It's a very easy-to-learn and fast-to-play dice game! Each game lasts maybe 20 minutes or so depending on how many players you have. And, it's the rare game that is just as fun if not more fun with two people! (Though you can have up to five players.) I highly recommend! My husband and I like to bring it to friend's houses and on trips, and we also like to play a quick round after lunch or dinner! https://gamewright.com/product/Qwixx

Well, this was delightful in every way. It's so true that real calm can be found in nature. <3 I've never been to Belize, but it sounds awesome. So glad you got this time.

I also grew up playing cards with family (always Hearts) and always travel with a deck. My husband and I tend to play Rummy 500 on vacation, though now we also, dorkily, play Settlers of Catan against each other on our phones. hehe

Hearts! Yes! I played that a lot. Also, imho, the dorkier, the better....

I KNEW a pack of cards was going to be your must-have item! I'm so glad we got to spend a week together, in the most beautiful place, with a lovely group of new friends. Can't wait to return to Belize. xoxo
