Time for the Circus!

It was that time of year again. Time to take the family to Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. I love the circus!!

Here are some pics...

Can't wait for next year!

I love the elephants!! They are my favorite part!

Girlfriend Getaway to Cabo San Lucas

Need a spa getaway with the girlfriends? Or planning a destination wedding? The Pueblo Bonito Pacifica is the place for both. In 2007 I talked my sister into a spa weekend at the Pacifica and I promise she was thanking me. We were able to getaway from the kids and the jobs and relax at one of the most beautiful resorts in the world. This was my forth time to Cabo and this resort was my FAVORITE!!!

6 things I've learned about Cabo...

1) Perfect place for Peace, Quiet and Relaxation
2) It has the best of both worlds, with the mountains right on the ocean
3) Americanized - everyone speaks English and most shops and restaurants are owned by Americans
4) Great shopping in downtown Cabo San Lucas
5) There are very few people on the beach, because the ocean is not swimable except in specific areas
6) World class golf courses right next to the ocean

Goodbye, for now.

Cancun, MX

Cancun would be my favorite beach destination in the world. I've been 8 times in the last decade, and I'm sure I will be going for years to come.

Favorite Hotels: Riu Cancun, Moon Palace, Iberostar Quetzal, Iberostar Paraiso

Five things I've learned about Cancun...

1) The water is crystal blue and gorgeous no matter what area you stay.
2) You will only find nightlife and action up on the hotel zone in Cancun.
3) The peace and quiet is on the Mayan Riviera, which is about 35 minutes down the coast from Cancun.
4) I have visited snorkeling park Xel-Ha every time I go, and I find a new area every time I visit.
5) I've probably spent 40 days in Cancun and have yet to do every tour. My favorite Mayan Ruin is Tulum and its not because of the nude beach next door. :)
