1. iPad – To brag – err, post about all your adventures.
2. Sunglasses – When you’re having champagne on top of a Maya ruin, it’s best to have some spectacles.
3. Swimwear – If you come across a secluded waterfall or just hanging in your private plunge pool.
4. Travel Journal – For all the dear diary moments.
5. Evian Face Spray – So we can stay so fresh and so clean.
6. Sunscreen – Jungle sun is so strong.
7. Literature – When you’re down-timing in a Casita.
8. Insect Repellent – Because we all know how annoying itchy bites are.
9. Comfortable Shoes – Let’s be real, exploring the rainforest isn’t the best in Louboutin’s.
10. Sunhat – Best accessory.
1.) One can argue which Jones movie was the best, but he’s hands down the coolest professor/treasure hunter to ever sport a leather jacket.
King Kong (1933)
2.) A unique tale of a ginormous monkey as a transplant New Yorker. This classic never gets old.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
3.) Female version of Indiana Jones – beauty and brains, Angelina Jolie takes us to exotic places and takes down the bad guys all by herself.
Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993)
4.) A hilarious spoof of the original story of a band of merry men.
The Terminator (1984)
5.) Nuclear holocaust future and a cyborg sent from the future on a deadly mission.
The Lord Of The Rings (2001)
6.) Definitely worth geeking out to the entire trilogy.
The Princess Bride (1987)
7.) This is a perfect Date Night movie; it has something for everyone: romance, sword play, giants (Andre The Giant R.I.P.), Princess named Buttercup and quest for true love.
Up (2009)
8.) 78-year-old ties thousands of balloons to his house to visit the beautiful landscapes of South America. Pixar never lets us down.
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
9.) Post apocalyptic times with supped up cars, weapons and a serious wardrobe; definitely inspired a Beyonce video.
Green, prickly skin with soft, fleshy white interior and lots of black seeds. Perfect when scooped out of the skin, served cold with milk and sugar; not overly sweet, but has a distinct flavor.
Custard Apple (Annona)
Size and shape is like an over-sided apple. Skin is a mottled pinkish-red and the actual fruit is whitish-pink with small seeds; sweet, distinct flavor.
Craboo (Nance Cherry)
Small, bright yellow, berry-like fruit with a hard seed inside; sweet when ripe.
Mammy Apple (Sapote)
Hard, brown outer shell while interior is burnt-orange, smooth and sweet; has a large black seed.
Vacation is on our minds. What’s your favorite vacation movie? Here’s our Top 10:
1. The Beach – This is a backpacker’s almanac. After seeing this, who didn’t want to drop everything and move to that secret island? Young Leo and Tilda were amazing!
2. L’ Auberge Espagnole – Not only because Barcelona (One of our favorite cities.) is a beautiful backdrop in this film, but because it reminds us of the fun of studying abroad.
3. Into The Wild – Amazing story of a guy hungry to see the world in a new way (His way is a little extreme.), something we can all relate to.
4. National Lampoon’s European Vacation – Classic!
5. City Of God- Shows the everyday struggle of living in the slums of Rio. Amazing beaches set with the contrast of drug violence – you can’t take your eyes off the screen!
6. Lost In Translation – One of Sophia Coppola’s best movies. You feel for Murray feeling just as lost getting thrown into modern-day Japan.
7. Home Alone – Two words: Booby Traps.
8. Wet Hot American Summer – A hilarious indie film with young Amy Poehler!
9. Dreamers – A stunning and disturbing art-house movie.
10. Motorcycle Diaries – Best friends on a road trip riding an old motorcycle – recipe for awesome!
