Where would you be . . . .

When you look at this picture, where do you imagine yourself?
Last year I visited Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and fell in love. After a day of touring many resorts, I headed back to the beautiful Riu Santa Fe and enjoyed a bit if R&R, now if you know me I am always with my camera. This picture came from a moment of enjoyment and I will always cherish it.
For many people it is fastly approaching that time of the year, you know when we start planning that winter vacation. The one that heps us forget about hats, mittens, shoveling snow, and windchill for a few days.
Let this be the winter, you can find yourself, in that perfect picture moment of enjoying so much warmth.

This picture states the same as the palm tree, wide open beautiful beaches, and two chairs awaiting you and your loved one.

There are some many destinations, and activities to fall in love with. Think about what you want to experience on your next vacation and call today, I would love to help you!

One of my Favorite Spots . . . Jamaica



















One of my Favorite places to Vacation is Jamaica, you may have heard me say this before, but I cannot say it enough.

Jamaica is full of beautiful beaches, landscapes, wonderful people and memorable excursions. Jamaicans really know how to make you feel welcomed. Once you have visited Jamaica a time or two they always say "Welcome Home".
One time I was walking a bit fast to get something from my room, and was asked

"Whats your hurry ma am' you are on vacation, slow down?"

I often think of the question I was asked. I try to remind myself of that when I am home. We live such a busy, a rushed life, and forget some of our best moments in life or the one we stop to enjoy. I think that is one of my favorite things about my vacations is that the computer, cell phone, work load and even the house work do not come along. I know when I am at home I am always on the go but there is nothing like the moment arriving to a beautiful resort with someone handing you a cold beverage and a smile on their face Welcoming you!


It is not to late to start planning you Warm Winter Vacation and take your break from it all!

The most Engagements happen Christmas thru Valentines Day . . . .

Brent and Avril's Destination Wedding at the Riu Santa Fe, in Cabo San Lucas.
November 21, 2009



Most Bride and Grooms love the Beautiful backdrop a Destination Wedding offers for thier Wedding,





It is that time of the year, we are all so busy planning the Holidays with so much shopping , wrapping, baking and parties. Some of us do not even know that our special men in our lives are planning how to pop the question and surprise us to the fullest.

My husband as many men ask me to marry him on Christmas Eve, 11 years ago. I will always remember it, he snuck it into my stocking. I did not even notice that there was anything in my stocking. Right after the holidays I started planning, I found that we were asking ourselves what kind of wedding do we want, where, and when. There was so much to think about.

When talking together you may find that you want a destination wedding. Over the years they have become so popular and bride and grooms find it easier for everyone. With a destination wedding your guests get a bonus a Vacation! Since the popularity of destination weddings have grown resorts have made it also easier with so many options.

Here are a few tips to get you started.
1. Destination weddings can be more relaxing for you and your
guests. So remember to pre-plan and keep everyone in mind. Meaning
destination, flight options, amenities of resort and budget.
2. Find a resort that specialized in Weddings, it will help your planning. Many of resorts offer Weddings but may not host a large number of weddings therefore may hinder your plans.
3. Plan early Resorts book up fast for wedding ceremony times. Also it
allows your guests to save money for the trip.
4. You do not have to do this on your own. Find a Travel Agent the specializes in Destination
Weddings. They know the destinations and resorts that cater to Weddings, and typically have personal contacts.
5. Are there children attending? This is something to think of since they are important too. Sandals is an excellent resort to get married at however are children going that will not work. Sandals is adults only. Possibly think of Beaches or Dreams.
6. My favorite is remember that you are combining your wedding and honeymoon together, look into staying a few days longer than your guests. It gives you time alone to enjoy each other. You are already there it typically does not cost much more.
Congratulations on your Engagement !
Happy planning, just remember have fun with it.
Give us a call today we would love to help you plan your destination wedding or honeymoon.

Amazing stay at the Riu Santa Fe

Riu Santa Fe
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico







I just stayed at the Riu Santa Fe Resort in Cabo, it was impressive from the moment I arrive and thought my entire stay.
Things I noticed, were the spacious and clean rooms, many large pools always with views to remember, excellent dining options with menus sure to please any guests pallet, how perfect the grounds landscaping was, and last I was very pleased with the service thru the entire resort.
You can spend you day laying around one of the pools, enjoying a cold cocktail at the swim up bar, playing beach volleyball, or taking a break from the sun and slipping into the spa for a message. Once the evening hits head off to the sports bar, the evening entertainment or Pacha night club for some dancing.
Right now you can save up to $125 at Riu Hotels and Resort in Mexico and the Caribbean.
I look forward to helping you plan your next amazing vacation.
Visit back for many more articles on Cabo San Lucas, while there I toured Resorts, experienced excursions and found a fun cantina downtown Cabo.

Cabo San Lucas Bound. . .

I am excited to tell you that Stefanie and I (Nichole) will be visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a few days next week!

Cabo is at the very southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, so the water from town is always south. The distinctive sea arches at Land's End, are to the southwest. If you see land ahead of you it has to be east or north; check where the water is and you will know for sure.

Downtown is two areas-Heading to the east, you will arrive in the downtown area. Split into two sections, one of these, the block adjacent to the marina, is considered the marina district, while the rest is considered downtown. These separate areas within the town center have different characters and attractions.

Downtown is full of wild bar scenes and restaurants with a partying atmosphere this district is almost exclusively filled with tourists in places like Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo or the El Shrimp Bucket, which has appealed to locals for many years. Do not forget to visit a tiny markets here and experience the friendliness of the people.

The Beach -
Undertow warnings should be posted wherever there is danger. Don't ignore them.


Shopping -
Cabo has an abundance of shops selling all types of Mexican handicrafts, silver, and all kinds of beautiful ceramics. There is a new mega mall, Puerto Paraiso. As more shops open in Puerto Paraiso the mall gets more popular with tourist. Shop anywhere in town for tee shirts, wood carvings, unique objects, pure vanilla and designer sportswear at duty free prices.

Visit back soon to hear more about Cabo and see pictures. I am exited to help you plan you next vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico!
