I haven't been in Grand Cayman for too long, and I've already found the beach and learned several things about the island. OK, finding the beach wasn't too hard as I'm staying right on Seven Mile Beach (pictured above), which is where many of the hotels are located. And the rest of what I've learned […]

When I was in Northern California in April, I simply couldn't get enough of seals/sea lions. Any time I was by the coastline, I was hoping to hear barking and see some blubbery seals sunning themselves. I'm not quite sure how my obsession got started (most likely from frequent trips to the Central Park Zoo […]

The Mayans predicted that the world would end in 2012. So perhaps that’s why the Ka’ana Boutique Resort (pictured above) in Belize feels comfortable offering this incredible deal where if you book a seven-day stay at Ka’ana Boutique Resort before December 18th, you get seven complimentary days in 2012 as well as airfare from Miami.
