California knows how to party and so do we! What a kickoff to my July! I was able to celebrate the birthday of my sister/cousin Kenesha while also preparing for Leo Season! Aaliyah and April definitely added to the flavor! This was such a fun-filled action packed trip! While there is so much to do …
Destin, Destin…Destin! April was the first time that I had the opportunity to visit the frequent traveled and talked about city! I truly just wanted some self-care and a chance to connect with travel vendors! Little did I know, there were so many things to do besides the beach! I decided to make this one …
Nashville is one of my favorite in state locations! I find myself traveling there 3-4 times a year just to experience the beautiful city in each season! One thing that remains constant is my desire to always stay at the Gaylord or the Omni! During the pandemic, I wanted a more stay-cation vibe for safety …
One word: La Cantera!!! The La Cantera Resort is EVERYYYTTHINNG!!! https://www.lacanteraresort.com/ We literally left the resort one day and one day only! There was no need to leave as everything is there and so amazing! With intentional efforts on social distancing, there were so many mornings that I had the pool area all to myself. …
Spending Memorial Day in Martha’s Vineyard was a very unique experience! I was able to expand my travel from Boston by using New England Trips! We had a wonderful motor coach and enjoyed Cape Cod, Plymouth and Martha’s Vineyard with an extended 3-hour Island tour provided by the tour company as well. Our wonderful tour guide Tim gave us history and commentary throughout the entire tour. From Boston to Falmouth is about an hour and 15-minute drive. Falmouth is the closest departure from Cape Cod to Martha’s Vineyard (Oaks Bluff). This ferry ride is 35 minutes in length and not too bad of a ride!
Martha’s Vineyard which is broken into “Up-Island” and “Down Island” has six towns West Tisbury, Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, Chilmark and Aquinnah and each one has its own rich history and culture! The 3-hour guided tour took you to each island and the amazing tour guide explained the great details of this beautiful island. There is something for everyone in Martha’s Vineyard! If you enjoy nature, there are so many hidden gems to explore. I would recommend renting a bike to tour smaller island and bring your pets! It is definitely pet-friendly.
Hotel Recommendations: Harbor View Hotel, Vineyard Square and the Pequot Hotel if you are looking to stay near the beach. There are so many beautiful boutique hotels to choose from!
Food Recommendations: Nancy’s, Lobster Ville, Giordano’s Restaurant, Larsen’s Fish Market and Little House Cafe!
Recommended Activities: Visit the Gingerbread cottages, beaches, island tour, eat at Nancy’s, enjoy shopping and eating at the most unique cafes and go whale watching!
Bring cash! Some shops and cafes will accept cash only! Also, bring a light jacket if you are traveling in May as it can get cool on the island. Comfortable shoes are a must! May was a great time to go as the islands were not too busy, but there were still some shops that were not open, but I did enjoy not having to fight the large crowd.
Overall Recommendation: Massachusetts is a great place!! Carve out time to see all of New England as it will be one of the best experiences of your life!
There’s nothing like catching an early morning flight that’s in the opposite direction of your final destination! Yes, I am a Delta loyal member, so I take the extra layover! However, if this doesn’t suit you, United is the only airline that offers a non-stop flight from Little Rock to Denver. When traveling, you …
