Condos in Rocky Point Mexico

Condos in Rocky Point Mexico img

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 [...]

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner img

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 [...]

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 [...]

West Rim Grand Canyon

West Rim Grand Canyon img

While the views are absolutely breathtaking, the Hualapai Nation charges quite a bit for entrance.  On their website they show a “legacy package” that must be purchased for entry at a price of $29.95 plus a permit fee.  However the permit fee is not shown. When we got there the cheapest package wsa the Legacy [...]

Montreal – Canada’s Cultural Capital

Montreal – Canada’s Cultural Capital img

One of my favorite things about Montreal is that it feels like nowhere I have visited in the US, whereas Toronto to me felt like Chicago. Montreal is not only very diverse ethnically but it has a strong French feel to it, from the language people speak to the road signs to the food you [...]

A visit to Georgia

A visit to Georgia img

If you dig those Georgia peaches, you may be thinking of a delicious fruit that grows so abundantly in the peach’s perfect climate. Or you may be thinking of the beautiful women that grace the state known for its Southern charm. A visit to Georgia often begins in Atlanta, home to the busiest U.S. airport. [...]
