I’ve been scoping out a few eco-friendly resorts for a one week trip next year. I’ve mostly been looking around in Mexico and Central America as those are usually only 2 to 3 hour flights from Dallas and can be easily reached in a day. I would love to do a mix stay of a… Continue reading Eco-Resort Intrigue
Two years ago we spent a week in Turks & Caicos in the Caribbean. Specifically, we stayed on the most popular island, Providenciales, or “Provo” as its popularly called. Turks & Caicos is a small island chain halfway between the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. Most people only visit Provo and it has the major airport… Continue reading Turks & Caicos – Prior Visit
My dad is an accountant so I grew up constantly being told “money doesn’t grow on trees” and “turn the lights off – we aren’t the electric company around here.” Needless to say, I grew up with an appreciation for the value of a dollar and when we travel, I tend to book a mix… Continue reading My Favorite Hotels to Date – Luxury to Budget
Thinking back over 2016, I realized that I had eaten several good meals while traveling (and a few bad ones) and thought I’d share a few of the ones that came to mind. The picture on the heading is actually of the BBQ shrimp entree at Mr. B’s Bistro in New Orleans – we didn’t… Continue reading Favorite Meals of 2016
So, after 4 nights at Sugar Ridge on the southern side of the island, we packed up our things and drove an hour to the north side of our island to our next hotel, Blue Waters Resort. Blue Waters is independently owned and is one of the few hotels on the island that allows you… Continue reading Antigua – Days 4-7 and some very, very bad food

Below are a smattering of some of our favorite restaurants we at during the week.… Continue reading Eating in Antigua – Our Favorites
Been a little while since I posted but, on a personal note, we had a death in the family last week, which has kept me and my husband occupied. It was a close relative and someone that died far too young so it’s been particularly difficult. Whenever something tragic like this happens it does remind… Continue reading Private Island Resorts
Ask anyone that has been to multiple islands and you’ll get different answers as it all depends on what your priorities are for a great beach. Is it just about how blue and clear the water is or must it be completely devoid of other people? Do you require a fun beach bar where you… Continue reading Where’s the Best Beach in the Caribbean?
Steve and visit the Caribbean a lot. Living in Texas means it’s fairly easy for us to get from Dallas to the Caribbean in a matter of hours by flying through Miami or Puerto Rico. There are also direct flights from Dallas to Jamaica, Turks & Caicos and I believe a few direct flights to… Continue reading Climbing Gros Piton in St. Lucia…Never Again. Never.
