Saturday Snap – Adios!

Farewell to this… Spend a few hours on this… Hola to this…

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 […]

10 Things That Make You A Bad All-Inclusive Guest

I had the idea for this list after a couple experiences at the Moon Palace last year and in researching it further, I see I’m not the only one with the idea. So below is a list of my own observations but which overlaps in many ways with some of the articles I’ve found that […]

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 […]

Friday Fun Link – Hyatt Ziva Cancun as seen from a drone

Have been spending a lot of time thinking about one of the great curses of tropical holidays – you usually book them six months or so in advance so you have no idea how the weather will be when you go! We don’t leave for a couple weeks but right now we’re in the midst […]
