Sans Souci Resort Jamaica – April 2005
April 20, 2005

 

We went to the all-inclusive Sans Souci Resort & Spa in Ocho Rios, Jamaica in mid-April. We had not planned on taking a trip due to a relocation, but Sans Souci was offering a phenomenal deal that could NOT be passed up. This was my first taste of the all-inclusive resort phenomena and I definitely felt there were positives and negatives to this. Sans Souci is a more low-key, more intimate, all-inclusive, but I could still feel the stereotypical all-inclusive vibe in some aspects. While I sum up my overall feeling of this trip as “indifferent”, I think the nasty, rainy weather had a lot to do with my personal feelings. However, some of the best parts of this trip occurred because it was raining the entire time!

Manale Bay Lanai and Hilton/Hyatt in Oahu – March 2005
March 20, 2005

 

I went to Lanai for 4 days for relaxation and Oahu for 7 days for a business trip. This was the first time I have been to Hawaii. I booked the Lanai part of the trip, which included interisland flights, hotel stay, and transfers as part of  a package. I booked everything on my own for Oahu through my company travel agency. While I had high expectations of Hawaii, and they were not entirely let down, I must say that it is NOTHING like I imagined! I know I chose an island that is off the beaten path, but this just makes me want to visit ALL of the islands now!

InterContinental Tahiti, Le Taha’a, and Bora Bora Nui Resort, French Polynesia – April 2004
May 1, 2004

Itinerary

1 night Tahiti at the InterContinental Tahiti Resort

5 nights Taha’a at Le Taha’a Resort

4 nights Bora Bora at Bora Bora Nui Resort

We went to Tahiti, Tahaa, and Bora Bora for 11 days, plus 1 night in Los Angeles (Westin LAX) on the return trip. It was truly an amazing experience and one the first of many trips to come. I was in awe of the beauty of the islands and the smells in the breeze were enchanting. I cannot even really put into words the experience we had because it was so perfect. French Polynesia is true paradise and we cannot wait to return. I’m obsessed! Please contact me if you want some more information on any of my itineraries or visit the Tahiti page for tons of info on the islands that I’ve gathered up over time. It is truly worth every penny we spent and I personally feel this is one trip you should try not to do on too strict of a budget, although it is something everyone should try to do once in their lives, if they like the sun, the water, and relaxation. We were very fortunate to be able to splurge on this trip and we are extremely thankful we had this opportunity.
