Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #5 – Sociability

Okay, let’s resume the series I started before we left for Mexico where I write about some of the major things that have impacted the person I am today. The first four were my parents, my friends, books and travel (I won’t link to them here as I’ll probably do a master list at the […]

Should I Tip in USD or Local Currency While At An All-Inclusive?

Officially, most all-inclusive resorts have a “no tipping” policy. But the reality is that many workers at all-inclusive resorts toil for relatively low wages and many vacation-goers who spend thousands to go to an all-inclusive, don’t mind giving a bit more on top of that throughout the week in tips for servers, maids and others […]

Five Highlights of Our @hyattzivacancun Vacation

Last year, I did a list of 10 highlights of our winter vacation. We stayed at Moon Palace for two weeks instead of one week like we did at Hyatt Ziva this year so I think the math works out if I only do a list of five highlights instead of ten. 😉 First View […]

“Absolutely Stunning!” My @HyattZivaCancun Review

Last Things First! Usually this would be the end of my review but let’s get it out of the way right off the bat: Hyatt Ziva Cancun is the best resort we’ve ever stayed at! I mean, based on Ziva’s overall Trip Advisor rating (#6 out of ~200 Cancun hotels when I booked the trip, […]

Sasha and I visited her classroom earlier this week to share a bit about some of the animals we saw during our Mexico vacation.

Music Monday – “Away from these memories, my life I must spend/Adios amigo, adios my friend”

Back from a one week all-inclusive holiday (even from blogging if you can believe it!) but lots to start catching up on – a review of our resort for sure (last year, it took me three weeks to cobble together a review of our resort – I wonder if I’ll be quicker this year?) Also […]

Friday Fun Link – Library on the Beach?

Many of the resorts we’ve visited have had a “leave one, take one” area for books but this is the first one I’ve seen that’s actually a “Little Library” on the beach (which is a great idea I wish more places would implement!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #4 – Travel

Not sure if I’ll end up blogging much when we’re in Mexico next week but I thought making “travel” #4 in this series would be a good way to head into our holiday either way. The funny part is that my love of travel actually starts from a weird piece of family trivia – I […]
