Of Epic Proportions

July 25th, 2010 | By admin

Norwegian recently introduced the Epic.  At 1081 feet, it’s not the largest ship in the world, but it has introduced plenty of firsts.

It is the first ship to offer studio cabins for single passengers. It has the largest spa on any cruise ship. It’s entertainment options are like no other, including The Blue Man Group, an ice skating rink, bowling alleys, a water park, repelling wall, and even a 17 degree Ice Bar.  There are 20 restaurants to choose from and with Norwegian you get free style dining where you can dine when you want and where you want.  Download our flyer for more information.

Can you keep a Secret?

July 16th, 2010 | By admin

My husband Dick doesn’t know, or at least I don’t think he knows.  We are headed to Secrets St James for our 20th anniversary on August 4th.  I booked this trip back in March and it has been so tough trying to keep a secret.  Only a few close friends and our daughter know, and I think they have all been quiet about it.

Well, the plan is to tell him we are going away (and not tell him where), maybe a day or two before (so he can pack), have a limo service pick us up and take us to Logan, where he will see we are going to Jamaica Im sure, but he won’t know where until we get to Jamaica that we are staying at Secrets St James.

Why did I choose Secrets St James?  Well, last fall we stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach in Riviera Cancun and it was SPECTACULAR!  Secrets St James is in Montego Bay, and just opened this past March.  And where did I book this trip…. why, ExpressTravel4U.com, of course!  ;)

So…. shhhhh!  Don’t spill the beans!

I need a vacation!

October 31st, 2009 | By admin

Modern technology… just amazing.  Here I am on an jet that has wi-fi and I am posting to my blog.  I look out and see the coast of Florida as we head home to Massachusetts from our week long stay in Playa del Carmen and Poerto Morelas, Mexico.

It was sad to leave our last resort, Dreams Riviera Cancun.  Dick commented that when leaving the resort, they should give you a dry towel to wipe the tears away.  How true!  Upon our arrival we were welcomed with a moist, cool towel and a glass of champagne, so it would be very fitting for the staff to hand us a dry towel, and maybe a cold beer to cry in too.

Although this vacation is over (and what a GREAT time we had!!!), when we get home it will be time to think about our cruise that we go on in 11 days.  This will give us time to catch up on work, do the laundry and re-pack.  Last December we put together a group cruise on the Carnival Miracle, leaving Fort Lauderdale with ports of call in Colon, Panama, Costa Rica and Belize. Never having been to Panama and Costa RIca we look forward to the new experience.  And having been to Belize, we look forward to visiting again. This time with several friends who booked on their own YTB websites.

I found this quote on the internet and thought this would be a fitting way to end this blog:
“No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one.” — Elbert Hubbard

Oooh, that feels good!

The spa at Dreams Riviera Cancun

While at Secrets Maroma Beach, Dick and I went to their spa for a couples massage.  WOW!  I honestly have to say, that was the BEST massage I have ever had.  With the slogan being “Unlimited Luxury”, they truly mean it!

Now that we have moved over to Dreams Riviera Cancun, we decided we need to check out their spa (after all, how can we recommend their spa services if we don’t try it ourselves!).  The great thing about both of these properties is that you get to use all of the spa facilities with a spa service. They have hydrotherapy, steam room, sauna, whirlpools to use after our massages.  This will be a nice change of pace, we have been walking the beach for an hour or two every morning and then hanging around the pool for the remainder of the day.  We both have gotten pretty dark so I’m looking forward to spending some time out of the sun today. So it’s off to the spa for our massages, its a tough job, but somebody has to do it!  ;)  Stay tuned, we will let you know which spa we liked best.
