What a great day to write this post as I sit in my office staring out all the white snow nature has dumped on my home state of Ohio. Trying not to get cabin fever as I’m enduring my second day of being confined to the house with under a level 3 snow emergency. What…
My wife and I recently had the opportunity to stay at Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Florida. This is a great property for the right family. If you are looking to stay in the continental US, want an all inclusive with great service, and are an active person/family, this is the place for you. This…
This will be the last post in our 4 part series on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas mega ship. This post is going to focus on the staterooms and suites on-board. Before we jump into it, I just have to say, it is a bit sad to have to see this one come to…

This is part 3 of what will be a 4 part series on all-inclusive properties and excursions I experienced in Jamaica. The Riu Palace Tropical Bay has big potential. It is a bit difficult to fully review this property as they are in the finishing stages of renovation and construction of new expansion units. Much…
