Cozumel, Mexico August 13, 2016
Today my son and I went scuba diving! I’ve never been diving before and we are not certified, but we took ScubaTony’s 2 tank Discover Scuba course. This course allowed us to dive with an instructor to no more than 40 feet. We took a taxi to the marina and met our instructors Javier and Liz and … Continue reading
Cozumel, Mexico August 12, 2016
We relaxed at the resort today. There are four pools – an infinity pool, an activity pool with water basketball, volleyball, and aerobics, a shallow pool next to the grill, and a children’s pool next to a small playground. Although there is no beach, there is sand, beach chairs, and palapas on either side of … Continue reading

My family and I have started a 9 day trip to Mexico in Cozumel. I’ve only visited the island on cruises, and I really wanted more time to explore. We’re staying at Cozumel Palace, an all-inclusive resort on the western coast. We flew into Cancun, took a private car to Playa del Carmen, the ferry to … Continue reading
Riviera Maya, Mexico November 20, 2015
We’ve found our routine – sleep in, breakfast in bed, lay on a Bali bed all afternoon, cool off in the ocean, rinse off in the pool, relax in the spa, have dinner, and go to the show. Tonight we had dinner at the Asian restaurant, went to a rock show in the open theater, … Continue reading

We’re having the best time at Secrets Maroma Beach! I’ve sent many, many clients to adults-only all-inclusive resorts for their honeymoons and anniversaries but have never been myself. The resort’s landscaping is so beautiful, and iguanas and coatimundis wander the grounds. There was a foam party int he pool this afternoon with pool volleyball and … Continue reading

Prague, Czech Republic July 10, 2015
On our last day in Prague, we went Zorbing and rented a paddle boat on the Vltava River. It’s still incredibly hot, so it felt great to be on the water. Prague Castle was beautiful on the hill and we paddled through a flock of swans.
Prague, Czech Republic July 9, 2015
Today we went on a tour with World War II in Prague. We’ve already visited Anne Frank’s House in the Netherlands and Dachau and Eagle’s Nest in Germany, but I didn’t know much about the Czech’s role in WWII. Our guide Sonia was amazing – a Czech native with a passion for her country’s history. We walked through cobblestone streets … Continue reading
Kutna Hora, Czech Republic July 8, 2015
We took a day trip to the Sedlec Ossuary today, about one hour outside of Prague. The Sedlec Ossuary in Kutna Hora is also known as the Bone Church. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and contains the bones of 40,000 – 70,000 people. The bones were arranged in chandeliers, garlands, pyramids, and a coat … Continue reading
Prague, Czech Republic July 7, 2015
We started our tour of Prague with a visit to the Charles Bridge. When I asked my son where he wanted to go on vacation this summer, he didn’t say Universal Studios or the beach. He wanted to walk across the Charles Bridge in Prague at night. I absolutely loved his answer because that’s how I decide … Continue reading
