Condos in Rocky Point Mexico

If you’re looking for a great place on the beach for vacation or just for a getaway I have a suggestion. Try out some of the places in Rocky Point. We stayed at the Sonoran Sea for the 4th of July and I can’t say I was all that impressed. Floors and hallways weren’t as [...]

Finally made it to Hawaii

Finally made it to Hawaii img

I wouldn’t exactly call myself well-traveled though I have managed to make it to Cuba, Rio, Mexico (numerous times), Thailand (a few times), Costa Rica, Hong Kong, and a number of places in the US. Never made it to Hawaii because I thought it would fail all or most of my main criteria for choosing [...]

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner runs right along the ocean beaches north of San Diego, so stops there are possible (light rail in SD connects to SD’s Old Town, eastern ‘burbs, and the Mexican Border). Then it stops at San Juan Capistrano. There are some nice local restaurants right next to the station and the Mission grounds, [...]

Gatlinburg Resort Cabins, TN

Gatlinburg Resort Cabins, TN img

Gatlinburg resort town is nice for a little mini vacation spot, they have little private own shops and eatery along the main road nestle in the foothills of the cherokee forest. But be aware of the cabin rentals especially Baskins Creek cabins because I book one through the internet and paid $225 a night so [...]

Lots of Cool Stuff in Brussels

Lots of Cool Stuff in Brussels img

If you are staying at a hotel you can get a map of Brussels with things to do written by locals. We are 23 and 27 and had a great time in Brussels. I can’t imagine anyone saying that Brussels is boring.. We visited the Cantillon Brewery which only cost 5 euro and came with [...]

Shenandoah Valley, Luray, Virginia

Shenandoah Valley, Luray, Virginia img

Recently I and my wife spent vacations in Virginia and stayed in 8 different B & B’s. From one of them we’d like to share our experiences is Woodruff Inns and Restaurant. Wonderful hospitality, prompt & easy booking process and the directions were spot on. Donna and John were very helpful; our rooms were extremely [...]

Santa Barbara Family Vacation Center

Santa Barbara Family Vacation Center img

There’s not enough good things to say about the FVC. Next summer will mark our 5th year in a row, and we’re even considering a two-week stay! One of the challenges when traveling with kids is that the parents rarely get time to relax. For over 40 years now, the FVC has brought relaxation back [...]

Collette Vacations – Resorts of the Canadian Rockies

Collette Vacations – Resorts of the Canadian Rockies img

My mother (a lively senior) and I had a miserable experience on this tour. Although Collete might have been a decent company at one time, they have truly lost their way. When I contacted Dan Sullivan (President) and Phillip Hobbs (Customer Relations) I received a response that basically denigrated every point that I raised about [...]

Venice Beach, Florida

Venice Beach, Florida img

On the spur of the moment, my fiance and I decided we need really needed a romantic(yet affordable) weekend getaway. So he called our travel agent Karen at All Points Accommodations to see what we could do. I felt compelled to write this review as I know most vacation/travel companies require at least a few [...]

Be Live Hamaca, Dominican Republic

Be Live Hamaca, Dominican Republic img

I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. It seemed that the rooms right at the beach were a little cleaner though our friend had a lizard wondering around. Our room had roaches, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, a broken light, broken window, holes in our bed sheets, and how can I forget the mildew [...]
