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, […]

Five Funny Moments From Our Recent Trip to @HyattZivaCancun

  One of the best parts of any trip is the funny moments that happen.  Here’s a few from our recent trip: Hearing Justin Bieber’s popular Christmas song, “Mistletoe” on the van’s radio as we’re shuttled from the airport to our hotel.  (It’s important to note that our trip was in late February, not December, […]

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?
