Saint Lucia

The flight on Air'Canada's Rouge to Hevanorra International airport(UVF) in Saint Lucia was somewhat tiresome. We landed at a dusk hour and by the time we got in the mini van chartered by AirCanada it got pitch black, so we couldn't really see much outside of the van's window during our 1.5 hour ride to the resort.  Next day was dedicated to exploring grounds of beautiful Hideaway at Royalton Saint Lucia resort. Almost every night there was a show at the theatre Yes to breakfast on the beach! If swimming in one of the resort's infinity pools doesn't do it for you there is an olympic-size lap pool in nearby Rodney Bay LET HER INSPIRE YOU As much as I enjoyed staying at the resort, I wanted to explore lush shores of carribean side of the island. I signed up for a boat excursion alone the ...

Miami is a great getaway destination in winter. In January 2020 we went to Miami Beach to attend regional ART DECO Weekend. One, two, three plates and counting... waiting for a delayed flight 😫...  We arrived on Thursday night. Soon after checking in the hotel, we were strolling down the Ocean Drive. Ocean Drive this time of the year is one huge street party! By the time we got quite hungry,  so we turned down the street and went to  Osteria Del Teatro Next morning we decided to check out the Classic Car Show Time to do some laps. Dinner at  OLA Restaurant . The lobster ceviche with tomato sorbet was very good!  After day well spent it was time to go back to the hotel to get much needed rest. ...
