If your schedule has been anything like mine the past few months, you’re likely packing your bags for the long weekend without technology (I personally plan on putting away the laptop, PDAs, cell phone, and all other communication devices so that I can take in some legitimate R&R). And, if you’re anything like me, you’ll [...]

Even coming from FL, the climate in Puerto Rico is something that any new arrival notices upon exiting the airport. As the automatic doors opened, it was an experience like being sucked into a sauna, and the sun immediately begins to tingle on the skin, reminding you to slather on the sunscreen or face a [...]

Puerto Rico – Gateway To The Caribbean

I’ve spent quite a fair amount of time island-hopping in the Caribbean: Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Mexico, and more, so it’s ironic that in 30 years, I haven’t taken the opportunity to visit Puerto Rico. Even more ironic? My mother spent the better part of her childhood on the island (as a Cuban refugee, she [...]

To all brides who are assisting out of town guests with wedding planning – or planning a destination wedding of their own – let my experience serve as a lesson to each of you. While planning my wedding, I encouraged my guests to book their tickets to the Bahamas through Spirit Air, which had fares [...]

Coco Grove Goombay Festival

Perhaps I’ve got Bahamas on the Brain, given my upcoming nuptials and crazy FOUR trips to the islands this year, but this festival, which just crossed my radar, sounds like a really cool event for Floridians and tourists who’ll be in Coco Grove this weekend! From their website: In the early 1800′s, the first black [...]
