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 […]

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 […]
