I first became enamored with all-inclusive resorts two years ago. There is something incredibly liberating about knowing everything is all taken care of in advance. No need to budget your dollars over the course of a vacation. No need to even carry around a wallet. It takes an element of stress away allowing your vacation to feel like a royal experience. My most recent all inclusive experience took place at the Park Royal Cozumel. Arriving … [Read more...]
My Puerto Vallarta Taco Adventure
Mexico is many things, but it’s the gastronomic riches that keep pulling me back. This is the land of complex mole, slow-roasted cochinita pibil and simmering pozole, to name just a few of the traditional dishes that I dream of. I recently returned to this country to vacation in Puerto Vallarta. It is a classic Pacific coast resort town, but it’s also a thriving, vibrant and muy auténtico city. As tempting as the sun, sand and surf are, get off … [Read more...]

Pampered Luxury at Hastings House, Salt Spring Island
I was recently pampered with a two-night stay at luxurious Hastings House Country House Hotel on Salt Spring Island. While I've been to Salt Spring several times, I had yet to enjoy this corner of the island, close enough to downtown Ganges yet far enough away to appreciate the solitude and nature that helps define this Relais & Chateaux property. The welcoming hotel grounds are filled with fragrant flowers and colourful birds, all with a … [Read more...]
Riviera Cancun: Secrets Silversands Resort
Looking at numerous websites, Trip Advisor reviews, and tips from friends, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a travel destination and resort. My husband and I wanted to visit the Riviera Maya this month, in a location away from the thumping of Cancun or Playa del Carmen. What we found was Puerto Morelos, a smaller town smack in between the two, yet close enough to get to the Mayan ruins while enjoying the warm, tropical breezes of … [Read more...]
The Allure of Disney World in Orlando
Having made multiple trips to Florida over the years (the first one was in the middle of the summer in the Everglades - think heat, high humidity and a serious mosquito problem, you would have thought that trip would have turned me off of the sunshine state forever). Fortunately that was not the case and I've been able to spend some time exploring Miami and the Keys on several occasions. I have always wanted to visit Walt Disney World located … [Read more...]
Trek Into Wilsons Prom, Australia
This year we decided our summer holiday was not going to be spent fighting impatient crowds at the airport or tourist crowds in fancy resort towns. No, this year we were going to take it slow – slow down, slow time, and live in the moment. So what did we decide to do? A 14km return walk into the Victorian wilderness. Now stay with me here. It may sound strenuous – and trust me, it was – but what a way to get back to the essentials of life, … [Read more...]
Traveller Information For Visiting Kauai, Hawaii
Kauai is an idyllic and fascinating Hawaiian island which looks remarkably untouched, despite being a favourite with US tourists and also home to over 62,000 people. Part of the island's natural looking charm can be attributed to the rule that no buildings can be erected on Kauai that are taller than a coconut tree, so the luxury hotels, shops, homes and other buildings are never tall enough to spoil the view, with tourist accommodation taking … [Read more...]
