New Mexico, Pt II - Sites & Bites…. Now that our internal compass has been set to “New Mexico mode”, we are ready to jump in the car for the longest stretch of the road trip. Heading south to visit the White Sands National Monument, we arrive just in time for sunset. We chose the town of Alamogordo for our overnight stay in order to get an early morning start. On our return to Santa Fe we managed to fit in some kitschy & cool stops along the way. Did someone say, road trip?!?!
New Mexico, PT I - As soon as we began to fly over the magnificent mountains & rolling hills of New Mexico, the excitement started to build in anticipation of all that the “Land of Enchantment” had to offer. Since we managed to fit so much into this 7-day road trip, I decided to make this into a three-part post. I hope you enjoy New Mexico as much as I did.
Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa in Riviera Maya, Mexico… Honored with five star recognition by Forbes travel guide, this former private villa with rich Mayan heritage is now an intimate resort situated on one of the worlds premier beaches with 63 rooms & suites.
Mexico City, PT II: Talk about WOW moments…. Hot Air Ballooning over the pyramids in Mexico City! If you are looking for a cool and unique experience than look no further. I hope you enjoy the conclusion to my mystical weekend in Mexico City!
Mexico City, PT I: I’ve visited the country of Mexico many times throughout my travels but this was my first time visiting Mexico City. I had high expectations because of my love for the country but what I didn’t expect was to walk away checking off a list of ‘first time’ experiences and adventures. Ahhh Mexico City, thanks for keeping my love of Mexico going strong and a huge thanks to @TzellTravel, @FirstinService, @FourSeasons, @Delta, @Aeromexico, @Journeymexico for making it all happen!
Ireland: I’ve decided to split my Dublin/Galway trip into two posts. I will start off by saying, all of those rumors you hear about the people being so great in Ireland - it’s true!
Dublin….. you can catch an evening non-stop flight from NYC and arrive bright and early in Dublin ready to take on the day! Assuming you were able to catch some zzz’s on the flight of course. If not, keep moving anyway and catch a power nap later on to get your body adjusted to the time difference. Dublin is a great destination for a long weekend especially because you clear US customs before boarding your flight in Dublin which makes for an easy arrival in the US.
Nizuc Resort & Spa in Cancun, Mexico... Located on 29-acres of secluded private beachfront, surrounded by mangroves and facing the white sands of the Meso American Barrier Reef – the second largest coral reef in the world – this property feels miles away yet it is only a 15-minute drive from Cancun Airport.
First stop on my South African adventure, Cape Town! We flew South African Airways and connected through Johannesburg into Cape Town. After spending a few days in Cape Town, we hopped into our rental car and drove to the Cape Winelands. The drive was roughly 1 hour & we visited Stellenbosch & Franschhoek. If you visit Cape Town, I highly recommend a trip to the winelands, you won't be disappointed! There is a reason why Africa is on most "Bucket Lists". Stay tuned for "Part 2" of my South African adventure, "Safari"!
