A Treasured Stay, Ritz Carlton Reserve, Phulay Bay Thailand

February 17, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

One enters this refined state of opulence through a grand entrance - reserved for quiet of which there is plenty of on this property - and a place to decompress once you arrive. Stone tiles line a reflecting pond culminating in a pavilion and some welcome shade. Everyone can use a refreshing chilled towel infused with some pleasing exotic aroma on hot humid days; this along with an invigorating drink are served upon your arrival. If you are … [Read more...]

Kittitian Hill, St. Kitts & Nevis – February 2016

February 1, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

This 400 acre Eco resort is located on the southern part of St. Kitts - on the lower slopes of Mount Liamuiga. The property is centered around an organic farm and features both guesthouses and memorable villas. The property is nowhere near other resorts (or for that matter, the beach) and a visit here is for quiet, privacy and interaction with nature in a luxurious environment. When this much detail has been put into a property - the resulting … [Read more...]

Sunny Las Vegas on a Budget

December 25, 2015 by Kurt JacobsonLeave a Comment

Las Vegas vacations don’t have to be expensive. For starters, airfare from BWI Airport runs just over $200 roundtrip and many other airports have similar deals. On many trips to Vegas I have stayed at hotels on and off the Strip; I highly recommend Excalibur to those that want an affordable on-strip hotel. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and good sized for a fraction of what you would pay other on-strip hotels. Last time I paid just $54.80 per … [Read more...]

Tasty Travel to Alabama, Florida Coasts

December 19, 2015 by Kara Kimbrough1 Comment

My love of the Mississippi Gulf Coast is unwavering. But every now and then I venture farther east to Alabama and Florida to enjoy their beautiful beaches. A few days with friends at Orange Beach’s Perdido Beach Resort was the perfect summer starter. New food finds took it to a near-heavenly level. Reality was left behind as we drove up the resort’s palm-tree-lined hill and entered terracotta stone walls. Ensconced in a glamorous cocoon of … [Read more...]

A Sweet Stay on St. Thomas, #USVI

November 29, 2015 by Dave1 Comment

In 1917 towards the end of World War I the United States made an investment in Caribbean real estate with the purchase of what now are the United States Virgin Islands from the Danish for a cool $25 million. This turned out to be a smart investment; today it has become a popular destination from those on the mainland - especially escaping the colder winter months. There are a number of airlines that offer flights to the airport on St. Thomas … [Read more...]

Mazatlán Food Culture: Beyond Shrimp & Pacifico Beer

November 27, 2015 by Alexa Meisler3 Comments

The beach resort town of Mazatlán has long been known as the home of the Pacifico brewery and the first Señor Frog's. Restaurants like the Shrimp Bucket and Señor Frog's have been legendary spots for tourists to visit while in town, but there is much more you should know about the food scene if you are planning a visit. I recently visited Mazatlán and attended their first Culinary Roots Festival; Raíces Culinarias Mazatlán 2015. The festival … [Read more...]

Best Reasons to Visit Losinj, Croatia

October 17, 2015 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

Croatia’s picture-perfect island of Losinj sits in the Northern Adriatic Sea, a stone’s throw from Italy. It has been luring visitors since the 19th century, when Austro-Hungarian aristocracy first recognized its regal sheen. The curative effects of a near-perfect climate, crystalline sea and air infused with the scent of hundreds of native plant species made it a top health resort. Tourists have once again taken notice of this salubrious … [Read more...]

Ridiculously Awesome Travel Tips For a 7 Day Trip to Antalya

October 1, 2015 by Anam NabilLeave a Comment

This is the sequel to my first post and this one is all about my stay in Antalya. Our trip to Turkey was two weeks long; eight days were spent in Antalya and six days in Istanbul. Although we initially planed to go to Cappadocia, Fethiye and Pamukkale, ultimately we weren't up for all the extra travel and hassle. If you have the time and energy to do so, than definitely check these places out as they are often a part of visitor's typical … [Read more...]
