FORT COLLINS, COLORADO

So, if you want to visit my hometown, what is there to do in this beautiful city? Well, I would be happy to help you explore this wonderful state, and more so, my town, Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a vibrant city on the Front Range (which is parallel to the mountain range). It’s a college town as well, but it’s very active with a lot to see and do.

PUNTA DE MITA

A few weeks ago, I was in Mexico visiting a new area that I hadn’t been to previously.  Punta de Mita is near to Puerto Vallarta, which is the airport that you fly into.  There are some lovely properties in this area.  Punta Mita is a 1,500-acre private peninsula that is home to the Four Seasons Punta Mita, St. Regis Punta Mita, and 16 sub-communities. Punta Mita is located on the north end of Banderas Bay in the Mexican state of Nayarit, about 10 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. I am going to give a quick review to a few of the properties that I visited in this area.

I would love to share these French boutique hotels with you in a review of these special properties. All these properties were 60 or less rooms and had spectacular services throughout.

WHAT IS IN A TRAVEL ADVISOR’S BAG

As a travel advisor, of course, I love to travel. You would think packing was second nature to me, but in fact, I must really think about it every time a new trip comes up. This week is going to be even more of a challenge as I am packing for 2 trips at once. A shorter 4 day one followed immediately by a longer 10-day trip. Today’s blog is about what is in a travel advisor’s bag. At least the one that I carry on the plane. What are the most important things that I pack

PANDEMIC VS ENDEMIC

What is the difference between pandemic and endemic? A pandemic is a worldwide spread disease. The WHO officially declared a pandemic of COVID-19 in March of 2020. This term can be used to describe a disease that spread across a country, but usually its more for a disease that is spread across continents, such as COVID-19. So, what does endemic mean? Endemic means natural to, native to, confined to, or widespread within a place or population. This relates more to restricted to a particular location or group of people. An example is malaria which is said to be endemic to tropical regions. Information quoted from dictionary.com

OH, THE AIRPORT

I love to go to the airport as I know that I will soon be traveling somewhere. But it’s not always the easiest of things to get through the security and all the things that come along with flying these days. It can be a pain in the butt even. Today’s blog I am going to discuss the three different things you can do to speed up the security part of the airport.

THE WORLD IS OPENING BACK UP

Who is excited with me? I had a moment of euphoria when I read that the United Kingdom has decided to remove the testing policies and quarantine rules to enter if you were vaccinated. This is like music to my ears. They are also removing the mask mandate (except on public transports and such) which is also great news. I saw visions in my head of life going back to normal after two years of wondering if it ever would. The world is opening back up people, it’s time to travel again!
