Inca Trail & Machu Picchu With G Adventures – Part II June 17, 2017 •1 Comment
Our Inca Trail hiking trip was all set with G Adventures. All we had left to do was prepare for the trip. I’d love say that Heather and I took then next 7 months preparing for the trip. We didn’t. We had a trip planned to Jamaica first, and life just got busy. It was…
Inca Trail & Machu Picchu With G Adventures – Part I June 11, 2017 •0 Comments
People think we’re crazy. Who plans a 4-day, 26-mile hike and spends 3 nights in a tent to mark their 20th wedding anniversary? Maybe we are crazy (could this be a key to making it 20 years?), but this is just what Heather and I did. On May 24th we boarded a flight to Lima,…
Jamaica – Day 6 – The Saddest Bus On Earth April 23, 2017 •1 Comment
When you arrive at the airport in Orlando on your way to a Walt Disney World resort, you are boarded on Disney-provided buses. In true Disney fashion they call these buses “The Happiest Buses on Earth”. Ever since my first trip to WDW, any bus at the end of vacation has been called “The Saddest Bus on Earth”. Today we are…
Jamaica – Day 5 – Sandals Royal Caribbean April 16, 2017 •1 Comment
For our last full day in Jamaica Heather and I decide to head back to the private island at Sandals Royal Caribbean. Yesterday we enjoyed how quiet it was out there, and it was great to not have to get up before sunrise to get beach chairs. After a quick breakfast at the Bayside Buffet we…
Jamaica – Day 4 – Sandals Royal Caribbean April 9, 2017 •1 Comment
Day 4 of our Jamaica trip to Sandals Montego Bay starts with breakfast at Cucina Romano. Heather and I both have the Eggs Benedict that we had been told about on our first night here. They are so good that if we were not planning to go diving this morning I would’ve had seconds. Our plan…
Jamaica – Day 3 – Beach Day March 26, 2017 •1 Comment
Day 3 of our trip to Sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica starts at 6:45a. Heather and I have decided to spend today at the beach so I am off to try and claim some beach chairs. We learned several trips ago that when it comes to beach chairs, the early bird really does get the worm. I head…
Jamaica – Day 2 – Sandals Inn March 12, 2017 •1 Comment
We start day 2 of our Jamaica trip with breakfast at the Bayside buffet. Heather is excited to find they have smoked salmon and capers on the buffet. There is no question, she will have this every morning of our trip. After breakfast, Heather heads off to the spa to start working on her spa credit, and I head…
Jamaica – Day 1 – Sandals Montego Bay March 4, 2017 •1 Comment
Normally when my alarm goes off at 6am I mumble some choice words as I hurl it across the bedroom. Not today. Today, I am headed to Jamaica with Heather for 5 nights at Sandals Montego Bay. Today, I would gladly get up at the butt-crack of dawn. By 6:35am we have both showered, finalized our packing, and are backing out…

The Service at Beaches Turks & Caicos January 22, 2017 •0 Comments
Before heading to Beaches Turks & Caicos I had pretty high expectations for the level of service we would receive. With Sandals (which owns Beaches) highly regarded as the standard for all-inclusives, I was excited to compare it against other resorts my wife I have visited. Here was our experience: Housekeeping: My expectations are simple…
