Faena Fail : Miami Beach Hotel Review As I’ve said before, “Money is always and option! The Faena Hotel in Miami does not deserve the high price it charges, nor the 5 stars its been awarded by Forbes. In this Faena Miami hotel review, I will tell you the pros and cons we experienced during our stay. In my opinion, a high priced 5 star hotel should not fail in more than one category. Faena Miami failed in several. In an effort to be fair, I will start with the positive things we experienced at the Faena Hotel. Faena Miami Review : Pros 1- The Faena Hotel is beautiful, and the rooms are sp ..read more

How Tracy Anderson Changed My Workouts and Body- A Detailed Review My journey with Tracy Anderson began with a dislocated ankle and a broken leg. I ran almost daily prior to the break, and felt terrified to sit on my butt for 4 months. I desperately looked for something, anything that I could do to workout. Fast forward 2 years later, and I’m writing a Tracy Anderson review.  It’s funny how life can throw you a box of lemons, and you either decide to make lemonade or cry over the lemons. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and sometimes you have to be put on your bu ..read more

Exumas Sailing Guide Our family just returned from a week sailing the Exumas in the Bahamas. We learned quickly that the Exumas are very different than the BVIs and the Grenadines. The Exumas are truly the wild west of the Bahamas, and we liked it! Most of the islands between Nassau and Staniel Cay are uninhabited. Don’t go to the Exumas expecting a beach bar hopping experience or WIFI. You will be greatly disappointed. Do go to the Exumas if you want to experience unbelievable marine life, water clarity and good fishing opportunities. It is also important to note that the sailing times bet ..read more

Bucket List Travel Experiences Have you seen the movie, “The Bucket List?” It’s basically a story of 2 older men with terminal cancer who make a pact to tick off their bucket list travel experiences. I watched the “Bucket List” while flying Emirates First Class, one of my own bucket list moments. The movie made me think, “Shouldn’t we all write down a bucket list and propel it into action?” I don’t want to wait until I’m facing my last days like these guys did, do you? BUCKET LIST TRIPS AND EXPERIENCES 1- Fly Emirates First Class, and take a shower at 40,000 feet 2- Swim with a whale shark 3 ..read more

American Business Class Flat Bed Review: A Mixed Bag We booked American Airlines business class flat bed seats on the 777-200 for our long-haul trip from the U.S. to Barcelona. Even though American Airline’s service is “forced,” the flat bed seat is one of the best in the sky. The American Air 777-200 seat configuration of 1-2-1 offers direct aisle access for each passenger. The tv screen is a sufficient size and swings for easy viewing. Also, the wing style seat offers some privacy. Overall, the American Airlines business class 777-200 hard product gets close to a perfect score. The same ca ..read more

Disney European Cruise Review This was our second Disney European Cruise, and I still think that its one of the best ways to see Europe with children. I reviewed our experience cruising Europe on the Disney Magic in detail here and here. Since I’ve already been through the ins and outs of a Disney European Cruise, I won’t re-hash the same details in this post. However, there have been a few changes on the Disney Magic that I think are important to point out. There are also some things that I noticed cruising with teenagers this go around. First of all, Disney has sadly decided to put the ..read more
