You know you’ve exhausted every possible video on YouTube about your upcoming all-inclusive resort when you start delving into the whole sub-genre of wedding videos – glossy, professionally shot montages of all the expected scenes – the wedding party getting ready while drinking mimosas, the close-up of the rings, the awkward speeches. Okay, I have […]

“I’m Ready For My Close-Up”
(More to come once the final product is edited and posted!)
Music Monday – “I don’t practice Santeria, I ain’t got no crystal ball/I had a million dollars but I’d, I’d spend it all.”
“Santeria” – Sublime
Some Insight Into All-Inclusives (Yay – We Leave In Two Weeks Today!)
In my reading and research about all-inclusives, I’ve come across some interesting articles about the changes in the industry – from the early days of Club Med in the 1970’s pioneering “pay one price” vacations that featured mid-range accommodation, bland buffets and watered down drinks right on through today when all-inclusives are an ever-expanding […]
