#SouthwestPassport Surprise Trip and Giveaway
I’m very excited to have been chosen to participate in the Southwest Passport trip. You know I love a packing challenge and this is as difficult as it gets! I have NO idea where I’m going.
Possible Surprise Destinations
The only clue I have is that I’ll be going to either Mexico, Central America or the Caribbean. Some of the possible destinations are:
- Cancun
- Puerto Vallarta
- Cabo
- Liberia, Costa Rica
- Aruba
- Belize
- Mexico City
- Montego Bay
- Nassau, Bahamas
- Punta Cana
- San Jose, Costa Rica
- Cuba
Southwest Airlines flies to all these places and I have a feeling I’ll be going to one of them. I just don’t know which one. I haven’t spent much time in the Caribbean so I’d love to go there but Costa Rica would be a close second.
Which of these destinations would you choose?

I’ll be finding out where I’m going on FACEBOOK LIVE Friday December 2nd at 12pm EST / 9am PST. I’ll be unboxing my itinerary with Southwest live that day so we’ll find out where I’m going at the same time. Can’t wait! Make sure to tune in.

How to Pack for this Surprise Trip
I’m actually flying to Los Angeles right after I find out my secret destination so I’m not going to have too much time to pack. I have to really prepare in advance.
My goal is to travel luggage free so I’m going to do my best to succeed in this challenge. Rest assured, I’ll be making packing videos to show you everything.

Cool! I’m sure you’ll have so much fun! I’d love to go to Belize right now — some beach time would be great.
Aw yeah always great getting a little beach getaway in the Winter! Thanks for reading Elizabeth!
Such a fun idea! I’d love to go to Belize!
Me too! It’s at the top of my list 🙂
I would pack a bathing suit, hat, cover up, beach shoes, cardigan, skirt, tank top, sunglasses, sunscreen:)
Thanks Karla, sounds perfect!
I hope you get to go to Costa Rica! Was there in May and LOVED it! I’ll be tuned in Friday for the reveal!
