Finishing up this MegaFAM at Sandals La Source!

-


This is another set up that can be used for weddings on the beach.  The color of the canopy can be chosen by the wedding party and will coordinate with the table setting and flowers.




The beach here isn't huge, but it's very nice and the sand is very clean.  The views of the island are beautiful. 


We also had a chance to visit the Concierge Club which is where the Club Level guests check in and have a nice lounge area.


We finished up the tour of the room categories and again were able to experience some of the various restaurants for lunch.  I got to go to Butch's Chophouse and had a most delicious steak lunch!  We were thinking it would be much too much for lunch, but when they put that salad in front of our table, and then that steak and potatoes, and then the huge onion ring!!!  Well, lets just say that every one of us at our table cleaned our plates! Sometimes steak in the Caribbean is just, well let's say different - this was fantastic!

 After lunch, we had a short time, a very short time....to stop at the gift shop or jump in one of the amazing pools, or go to the beach.  So - we took advantage!  

Perhaps one of the coolest parts of this pool is the firepit lounge area!  How nice would it be at night to sit out here with the fire going, glass of wine in hand, and just hang out? That is living the life isn't it?
But sadly our visit was coming to an end.  We had our closing remarks, and the director of Tourism for Grenada came and gave a great talk to us.  Before we knew it we were heading back to the airport!




We had a wonderful send off by the Tourism Board in Grenada as at the airport, as well as by the staff at Sandals.  At the airport they had music, dancing, and all sorts of crafts on display!  It's certainly clear that they want nothing more than for tourism to be part of their country!




That wraps up this short, but incredibly journey to 3 countries, 3 islands and 3 very different resorts in barely 3 days!  I learned so much about these resorts and hopefully can work to bring some of you to visit them!

 Next up????  Tomorrow I head to Vail for my Host Agency Conference where I hope to learn even more and meet so many of the representatives from the places and companies that I work with!  Can't wait to share that trip with everyone!

San Pedro, hustle and bustle!

Ambergris Caye…it’s an interesting place to be! As I mentioned in some previous posts, we chose a resort to the north of the town of San Pedro. Portofino is only accessible by water taxi and it’s about a fifteen minute boat ride to get there. But when you get into the heart of the island the pace of life picks up. It’s still a sleepy island town by all means. But there’s much more hustle and bustle! The first thing we noticed was the primary means of transportation are golf carts. There’s a few taxi vans, but most people are driving golf carts. This is certainly unique! There’s a certain charm about this for sure. Our main reasons for going into town were to get to the dive shops, but that only brought us to the docks…to eat lunch and dinner once or twice and the obligatory souvenir shopping. We didn’t get a chance to really see any of the other hotels in the area. In my obsessive research before the trip, there were quite a few that looked nice, but now that I was there I

You'd better Belize it!

That's right - Belize.  The first question so many people would ask was, where's Belize? They hadn't even heard of the country!  This was common I found because Belize was formerly known as British Honduras and didn't change it's name until 1973.  The second question I was asked was why do you want to go to Belize?  Belize suddenly began popping up to me in my obsessive travel research about two years ago.  I had been planning our second trip to Costa Rica and kept seeing great travel information about Belize and of course I wanted to see what was the big draw!  K and I have been to Mexico several times and had been to Costa Rica once previously and since I was planning our second trip to Costa Rica I kept Belize in the back of my mind for a future trip.  I started to do some research and found Belize has the second largest barrier reef in the world!  Now that's something!  Neither K nor I dive, but we both enjoy snorkeling so right there that was a great opp

A Beautiful Morning

Imagine opening your eyes and seeing this.... Imagine that! I woke up early one morning and pulled back the cotton curtains to see if the sun had risen up above the sea yet, and this was what greeted me. I just had to grab my camera! I went out on our porch and sat there just in awe of the beauty of the place we were. How lucky we were to be here! How lucky to experience such beauty! I snapped a picture with my cell phone to send home to the kids. I wished they were here to share this moment with me. There were so many parts of this adventure that they would love, and yet so many parts that would be enjoyed so much more in a few more years. The timing just wasn’t quite right yet. I enjoyed this amazing sunrise alone…I didn’t wake up K yet. He wouldn’t quite appreciate the beauty of it the way I did. He was sound asleep still. He’d enjoy it in a picture. For me, my day was already perfect.
