Encouraging Young Performers with VTech Kids

Posted on December 8, 2018 by Lesley | 0 Comments

My dream as a child was to travel the world and explore new places and cultures. Most days, I can’t believe I actually made it a reality with a yearly bucket list. It’s a great reminder to encourage Athena to follow her passions and allow her personality and talents to flourish. She was a born performer. She’s always bursting with…

I’ve visited more than half of the countries in the world and I’ve experienced beauties that I never thought I’d see with my own eyes.

The Best Overall Resort in Bonaire – Buddy Dive

Posted on May 17, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

Bonaire is blessed with an unsurpassed natural beauty. From the pristine waters to Brandaris’s peak, Bonaire’s magic washed over me from the moment I arrived. Even while participating in extreme adventures, a peaceful ambiance filled my time on Bonaire. The island continues to reign supreme as the dive destination in the Caribbean, but that’s only the beginning; Bonaire offers culture,…

Turned On by a Woman at the ESPA, Riga

Posted on March 16, 2014 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I’m no stranger to massages. I’ve had more than a handful in the last two years. Normally, I lay on the table wondering if I should have established a safe word. The answer is usually “yes.” No need this time; she knew exactly the way I like it… maybe even a little too much. Admittedly, I was turned on by…

To be honest, I didn’t ever think I’d hear of unlimited lobster night; some things are just too good to be true. Yet every Wednesday night, Solana Restaurant at Marriott Grand Cayman offers an All You Can Eat Lobster Night! Their menu…

Posted on December 8, 2013 by Lesley | 8 Comments

I was fortunate enough to take three trips to Banff National Park during 2013 and as a result I have been able to find a number of fantastic viewpoints to take in the amazing landscapes of Banff and Lake Louise. Banff is located near Calgary in Alberta, Canada and if you haven’t made the trip I’d highly recommend adding it…

Taking Our Hawaii Experience to the Next Level

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Lesley | 1 Comments

We flew into Hawaii in the dark. The view from the airplane window was black; I couldn’t even tell when we were about to touch down. We drove to our resort in the dark, again with zero visibility of The Big Island. I couldn’t tell if we were surrounded by a luscious tropical forest or an endless mound of dirt….
