All in Travel
I visited Puerto Rico five years ago with my best friend and absolutely loved it. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel right on Isle Verde beach and enjoyed the sun and sand there. We toured El Yunque Rain Forest, Castillo San Felipe del Morro, kayaked to the bioluminescent bay, walked the streets of Old San Juan and visited the art museum.
During the planning phase of our road trip, we all decided that we did not want to drive. So instead, we opted to make Las Vegas our home base and took a 1-day Grand Canyon bus trip through Grand Canyon Destinations and a 3-day Sedona, Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon Bus Tour with Empire Vacations.
Dubai has become a must-visit destination with its luxurious hotels, malls and restaurants. It did not disappoint and I plan to go back because I didn’t have an opportunity to do all the things I wanted to do while there. I purchased roundtrip tickets through Emirates airlines and I loved the flights and service. I later learned I could’ve saved money by using Google Flight alerts, which I use now. It was my second time taking a flight that long and I did not want layovers, so I opted for non-stop flights.
Here’s a recap of my favorite events, places and excursions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Let's start with the energy, sun and culture in Cartagena. Home to many who may be poor economically, but who are rich in spirit, pride and determination.
My trip to Cuba last June was nothing short of amazing. Once we are able to travel there again, make sure you check the U.S. Department of State’s website before planning your trip. You’ll find all the information you need about obtaining a visa and other U.S. government requirements, including how you can get there and which approved reasons for visits are available.
Last fall I took the journey of a lifetime to South Africa. It almost didn’t happen. When one of my friends presented the trip to me in April of 2019, I almost let fear stop me from going. Although I love to travel, I don’t like flying, especially for 24 hours, which was the total time for our journey to Africa.
