Relaxing Travel Experience

Posted in Dominican Republic, tagged , , , , , on March 25, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Before you pack your bags, think about where you are going and what you want to do when you get there. Nothing is worst than getting to the airport and finding out your luggage weighs more than the 50 pound maximum. Yes, this has happen to me! It was a good thing I had a carry-on with me, along with a couple of friends who had room in their luggage. Man I couldn’t believe I did what I always warn my clients not to do. Oh well! I learned a lesson and I will share 3 of them it with you.

  1. Never pack gym shoes-my gym shoes weigh at least 5 pounds. Wear them or put them in your carry-on, however wearing gym shoes can be a pain in the you know what when going through airport security. I notice most of the people had on sandals or flip- flops.
  2. If you are on your way to the airport because you are running from the cold and snow. Don’t wear a heavy coat. A couple of layers are the key because it is easy to pack in your carry-on or if you haven’t check your luggage you can slip extra clothes in it.
  3. Make sure you stick to the 3 ounces of liquids and other necessities. I forgot that my expensive lotion was in my carry-on (8 ounces) it was forever gone in the trash.

I hope you can learn from my mistakes.  After all of that, I still had a good time and a relaxing beach experience in Punta Cana. I cannot wait to go back!

Day 12- Increase your Commenting Confidence

Posted in Beach, tagged , , , , on March 18, 2015| 4 Comments »

Today’s assignment is to find other bloggers who responded to the same prompt “Places”. Read six and comment on at least two blogs.

I picked two blogs to comment on today. The first one is Flowers and Breezes This poem had me thinking of mental places that can be visited when you read books and magazines.

The second is Front porch & Candlelight. Honestly, the name of this blog made we want to read what the blogger had to say about the prompt places. I was delighted to read they enjoy the ocean and beaches too!

My Number One Favorite Place

Posted in Beach, Jamaica, tagged , , , on March 16, 2015| 4 Comments »

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Places.”

My favorite place is on a beach in Jamaica watching as the ocean waves inch closer to me.  I love the time I spend relaxing on the deep soft cushions of a beach lounge chair.  It is a must that you spend one full day on the beach when you visit Jamaica. These are a few of the necessities I know you will need to make spending a day at the beach a reality.

The beach list includes: Sunscreen, beach towel, swim suit cover up, music, sunglasses, your favorite book and snack so you will not have to leave the beach until dinner.  If you have children with you, pack a big lunch, plus make sure they have all of the same items listed above.  Don’t forget to include some beach toys to keep them occupied.

Choose your favorite beach and try bringing the items on the list.
