Just the past week, we spent a couple of days in Columbus, MS Columbus is a decent looking little city, right on the border of Alabama. We spent two nights at the Holiday Inn in Columbus, located on Highway 45 North. Did a little shopping at the Leigh Mall, a huge Wal-Mart there, antique shopping, and plenty to choose from in the way of restaurants. Something worth seeing in Columbus are the many plantation homes. Also, there are some great views of the Tombigbee river.

We just got back from Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. The total time that we were there was eleven days, and we had a great time!!!!! Here's how it is. It is a very clean and quiet island.

We spent one week on the Condado district of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and really enjoyed it. There are really no surprises when going to Puerto Rico, as in culture.

In the Condado district it is quite safe to walk around pretty much at any hour of the day or night. There are major resort hotels right on the beach, such as Radisson, Marriott, Condado Plaza. In the way of places to eat there are numerous places in the area, many right on Ashford Avenue, whichis the main street. One place that I often recommend to people ... read more
