Posted on August 22, 2017 by Lesley | 17 Comments

I’m not new to moving. I moved across the continent more than a handful of times in the last decade and I’ve utilized a lot of moving companies in the process, but my recent experience with North American Van Lines was worse than imaginable. Delayed delivery, unnecessary storage at customs, lack of communication, changed price guarantees, false information, excessively unnecessary…

Rock Star Life at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana

Posted on August 2, 2017 by Lesley | 0 Comments

After returning from another month in the Caribbean, I’ve come to the same conclusion as my previous trip – Hard Rock All Inclusive Hotels are my favorite all-inclusive hotels in the world. It’s simple – they have the best, most friendly service, modern, creative rooms, kick-ass entertainment and amenities, and better dining options than most cities. At first, I thought…

7000 Acres = 10.9375 Square Miles – That’s the size of Casa de Campo Resort in Dominican Republic. The driver said, “You have arrived at Casa de Campo” and it was at least five minutes later when we reached the lobby.

St. Croix Bucket List Resort

Posted on July 18, 2017 by Lesley | 2 Comments

The US Virgin Islands have a major appeal for American travelers. You get all the luxuries of visiting the Caribbean with all the amenities of home.

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Peter Bateman | 0 Comments

It has been nearly twenty-five years growing up and living in beautiful sunny Queensland, Australia, never more than forty minutes from the best beaches in the world. I don’t think it would be incorrect to estimate that I spent one third of my life at or on the beach. Yet still when people ask, “oh your Australian; you surf?” I…
