Napa Valley

This past Labor Day we took another trip to Napa Valley and had some of the best food and best wine we had ever had.

Some of the highlights: 

Review: Carnival Breeze 6 night Cruise

In early December, I took a 6 night cruise on the Carnival Breeze out of Miami. 

The ports of call were Ochos Rios,  Grand Turk and Nassau. 

Here's my top ten list of what not to miss:

Review: Hyatt Clearwater

I was looking for a nice hotel on the beach for a girls' weekend. The Hyatt Clearwater was a great find. The rooms have mini - kitchens plus balconies so it is a great spot for families or just catching up with a dear friend. The resort fee includes wifi, the gym, self service laundry and 2 bottles of water a day. 

Traveler Review: Ocean Maya Royale Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Megan contacted me about planning a romantic getaway for her and her husband.  She wanted a place that wasn't too big where they could just relax. I recommended the Ocean Maya Royale -  a great adults only all-inclusive resort near Playa Del Carmen Mexico. We booked it for early December since that time of year tends to have some terrific values. 

Here's what she thought: 

We loooooved the resort. Super loved it. We were told it was smaller than others around it but we thought it was the perfect size. The buildings each have about 6 rooms a piece making them feel like small cabanas. They all have patios or balconies (at least the ones we saw) and ours led straight out to the pool and beach. 

This is the photo she posted on Facebook of the view from her room.
