Give the Gift of Memories this Holiday Season

Some of you may be already done with your holiday shopping. Good for you! I'm one of those that is often out at the last-minute finishing everything up. I have found that it's tougher and tougher to buy for my kids as they get older. Of course I want to get them what they have on their wish list, but I also want to get them something that they need. And the most important thing I want is to spend time with them. I know that my time is short with them, and I want to make the most of [...]

Beaches Negril

Beaches Negril

There are two Beaches resorts; one in Jamaica and one in the Turks & Caicos. I visited the Turks & Caicos location with my family a few years ago, and last month I was fortunate enough to be invited to explore Beaches Negril.

This beach has amazing white sands, and I’ll bet that you will want to spend most of your time there. And with the many water sports that are included [...]

Cruising Through the Holidays

Cruising Through the Holidays

When you think about the holidays, particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas, what do you think of? Is it the presents or the decorations, or just spending time with loved ones? If you first think of spending time with your family during the holidays, consider a holiday cruise this year instead of the usual gifts! Now this does depend a little bit on the ages of your kids. It may be a little tougher to travel with babies, and younger kids may be worried that Santa won’t be able to find them on a cruise ship. Or they may be sad if [...]

Beat the Heat with the Water Parks at Walt Disney World

Beat the Heat with the Water Parks at Walt Disney World

We all know that Florida can get HOT in the summer months, and there’s no better way to cool off than at one of Disney’s water parks. Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are water parks that are not to be missed! There is so much to see and do at these water parks that I recommend planning a free day to visit (or two to visit each one!). At Blizzard Beach there are three main areas with attractions to enjoy. They have the green, purple and red slopes. Each area has their own unique attractions for the family. I love [...]

Is it Safe to Travel to the Caribbean?

Is it Safe to Travel to the Caribbean?

You may have seen reports about suspicious illness and death in the Dominican Republic right now and wondered if that country is safe. Or you may remember reports from a few years ago about deaths in Mexico, or violence in Jamaica last year. All of these reports may have you concerned about traveling to any Caribbean country right now, and that's ok. But make sure that you are making an informed decision, not just based on the media reports. Some of those reports are using scare tactics to get more exposure, and not necessarily sticking to the facts. There have been reports of violence, [...]
