My Escorted Tours

Costa Mujeres is the newest hotel area for Cancun. It is around 1 hour north from the Cancun airport. I stayed at the Riu Palace Costa Mujeres for a week at the end of June 2024. Beautiful property. Family friendly and you have access to the RIU Dunamar next door. The waves were quite high when I was there but it was in between a tropical storm and hurricane.

The food was great. Tons of chairs on the beach, a little harder to get around the pool. Shows were great and they had little "shows' before dinner for the kids. There was a mini casino one night with the wheel, another night it was old time games - bottle and hook, face painting. For the adults there is the White night, Neon night and a Jungle party. The jungle party was held in Cancun during the day at another Riu. Transportation is included.

I thoroughly enjoyed my week!

Went to Orlando for the second time ever, the first being over 30 years ago. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I stayed at the Landy Hotel. Great location, wonderful staff and accommodations.

I have to recommend Gatorland- so good! Wish I had more time there. There is also Mario Andretti Racing (go cart and arcade). Went outside my comfort zone and had so much fun.

I did give in and spent a day at Disney. I see what people mean now. It is an incredible experience even for someone who isn't there with kids and doesn't like rides.

Stayed at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay. I LOVE Bloody Bay! The beach is great and great for walking. Sunsets...wow!

Accommodations were very comfortable. Food, as usual with a Riu, was delicious.

Weather at the end of March was very nice. Not too hot, a nice breeze.

Egrets were walking freely on the property and would try to steal leftovers and sugar packets.

It is a longer drive, about 1 1/2 hours, but the scenery is amazing, and the music and conversation are delightful.

Spent the week discovering the French side of the island. Loved it! Accommodations from luxury all-inclusive to quaint cottage-like vacation rentals.

The French side of the island has great food - the lolos are a must dine out experience.

A day trip to the nearby islands of Anguilla or Saba is an easy short ferry ride.

I did a workshop at a perfumery and I got to design my own scent which was so much fun.

I Did a motorcoach tour of Northern Ireland with Royal Irish Tours. Very good company. Small groups.
