I made a fun game for you to flaunt your MV-bucket list accomplishments in your social media stories! Feel free to screenshot your favorite town, and be sure to Tag @MVacay on social media if you get Bingo!
I improved our toddler-friendly guide by making an accompanying itinerary that groups the activities. Hopefully this makes it easier to aggregate my favorite walks, eats, and activities for tiny humans (that keep the parents happy too).
