Living in Dallas, Texas, we are right in the middle of the country, albeit the southern middle part. So, flights to California are plentiful, usually very reasonably priced and not very long (about 3 hours max). I’ve visited San Diego, Orange County/Laguna Niguel, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley. Still on my”to… Continue reading Dream Hotels – California Edition
Sometimes I randomly check airfare and hotels in certain destinations just to see what the prices are like and occasionally I find a great deal. I often find better deals during the summer to places that are hot – like Phoenix, Austin, Las Vegas or Palm Springs. Steve and I really weren’t planning to go… Continue reading Last Minute Trips and Vacation Deals
I have been to Cancun/Playa del Carmen a few times and Cabo once, which Steve and I loved, and we visited Zihuatanejo once several years ago, which I am sad to say we did not enjoy, but there are many places on my wish list to visit in Mexico. While most of them are beach… Continue reading Dream Hotels – Mexico Edition
Steve and I are between trips right now and our next getaway isn’t until the last day of June when we head to Las Vegas for a long weekend. So, whenever I am in the travel doldrums, I start thinking about where would I like to stay one day? This gave me the idea to… Continue reading Dream Hotels – Caribbean Edition
My husband and I are starting to think about our big trip for Spring 2018. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we will have enough miles to get business class tickets to Tokyo or Hong Kong and I ain’t flying coach for 14 to 16 hours. We can handle 8 hours or so (especially with extra… Continue reading England v. France….Why not both?
For dinner our last night, we splurged on the Lagoon Restaurant at the hotel. The restaurant and its menu was designed by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who is a famous Michelin starred chef with restaurants around the world. It’s consistently rated the top restaurant in Bora Bora. Steve and I developed a habit of stopping by here every… Continue reading Lagoon Restaurant, St. Regis
As part of our private Lagoon and Beach BBQ day, our handsome guide took us to 3 different snorkel spots. The first spot was to snorkel some huge coral heads and see the abundant fish life and moray eels, the second spot was in very shallow, waist-deep water to feed and pet stingrays (and see… Continue reading Stingrays and Sharks!
Upon arrival, our butler gave us a tour of the St. Regis property which was much larger than we expected. The hotel has both overwater bungalows and beach bungalows with private plunge pools. If we returned here, I might consider actually splitting my time between the overwater bungalows and the beach bungalows, which were also… Continue reading Tour of the St. Regis Bora Bora Property
On our third day on Bora Bora, we were picked up at the St. Regis dock by Will from Bora Bora Romantic Tours. I had scheduled a few weeks in advance a full day private tour on a motor boat that would take us around the entire lagoon with stops for snorkeling, feeding stingrays and… Continue reading Bora Bora Lagoon Tour and Private Island Champagne Lunch
After 3 days on Moorea, we packed our things and headed to the teeny-tiny open-air building that was the Moorea airport. Fortunately there was a nice cross breeze at the Moorea airport so it wasn’t too uncomfortable while we waited for our plane to arrive. I have to say that the Ait Tahiti inter-island flights… Continue reading Arriving at the St. Regis, Bora Bora and OWB Tour
