Timeshares- a do or a don’t?
So on our recent trip to Cancun we attended 1 of those lovely timeshare meetings in order to save a couple hundred bucks on some activities. We have been to them before and went in thinking no way, we are not going to do it, let’s just sit through it and get it over with. Well, we stayed at the Westin Resort in Cancun and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Westin or Starwood hotels are all VERY nice. Once they started going into their program- the points and options system, we were almost sold. If it weren’t for baby G in the tummy we would have probably signed that day, but we didn’t. We did however purchase the mini- timeshare package and have the option in that payment going toward our big payment if we decide to buy there in the next 2 years. The mini package contains 75,000 hotel points- which would cover at least our 10 day Euro trip and a 6 night, 7 day stay back at the Westin Cancun Resort in the 2 bedroom villa- which is super nice.

Anniversary Trip!
So, we got back yesterday from our anniversary trip to Key Largo and it was amazing!
We started by a night in Fort Lauderdale on the beach in a fancy hotel. We went out and had a nice dinner with friends. The next day we ate breakfast at this awesome little diner that was on the food network then headed to see family in Port St. Lucie. We had breakfast the next morning with Allan’s brother, sister-in-law, our nephew, Allan’s sister and our neice on the water and then headed to Key Largo. The weather was absolutely gorgeous the entire trip. We snorkled, took a boat eco trip, got to swim with a wild manatee, saw dolphins and ate at some great restaurants. It was such a relaxing and much needed vacation. Continue reading
Fun travel plans for this year
So we have started planning some travel time and I am super excited. First of all we have booked our 1 year anniversary trip in April, which I cannot wait for. We are headed to Ft. Lauderdale for the night, then going to see our nephew for 1 night and then headed back to the spot where we said “I do” last year, the beautiful, serene beaches of Key Largo! Ahhh, I can see us laying on the hammock by the beach now.
