2026 Winter/Spring edition

Hello! As we welcome a new year, what travel plans are you considering? I recently enjoyed a cruise with Celebrity and have an MSC cruise planned for May, along with a quick trip to San Diego in early January. Celebrity, a sister brand to Royal Caribbean, is perfect for couples and girls' getaways, offering a more adult-focused experience without the kid-friendly features of Royal. If you're thinking about a beach vacation, don't miss the video on Belize, which is conveniently close to Cancun. With fitness on many minds in January, consider trying Pilates for full-body conditioning without the need for lots of equipment. Wishing you a fantastic start to 2026! Feel free to reach out if you need help planning your next dream vacation.

Belize

In Belize, you’ll find an extraordinary tapestry of lush jungles, bustling beaches, and ancient relics that will leave you breathless. Revel in the tranquility of the Caribbean Sea’s azure waters, offering some of the world's best beaches. Belize’s barrier reef showcases a mesmerizing underwater world, where snorkeling and diving reveal vibrant coral formations teeming with marine life.

Beyond sandy shores, Belize invites you to embark on captivating adventures into its verdant heart. Walk through history when you tour the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins, and let local flavors tantalize your taste buds with authentic cuisine. With its immersive blend of serenity and adventure, Belize offers a rich palette of experiences to delight every soul.

In December 2025, I enjoyed a 4-night Celebrity cruise to Key West, Bimini in the Bahamas, and a relaxing day at sea. It was aboard the Summit, one of their smaller, older ships, but beautifully updated, making for a perfect pre-Christmas getaway with my husband. We rented bikes in Key West and spent a gorgeous beach day in Bimini. It was my first Celebrity cruise, and definitely not my last—the food was incredible, and I look forward to sailing with them again soon

Pilates is a type of mind-body exercise that can improve your movement, strength and control. This is a great exercise to keep us strong as we age. Check out classes in your area or You-Tube videos to get started. I have a yearly subscription to yogatoday.com which includes many Pilates workouts.

Travel Tips:

* When you're traveling by air as a couple, book an aisle and a window since most people won't book a middle seat and you might have the row to yourselves.

*If you plan to park your car at the airport, book online & most of the time you will have a discount.

* Want a late checkout at your hotel? Call from your room either the night before or the morning of and see if it is available at no cost.
