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. The city of Columbus, MS has also been experiencing a somewhat growth with a rise in [View Full Entry]

We went to the RIU Naiboa for one week. We were there just last month in March of 2009, and it wasn't all that great. The staff at the RIu was wonderful. The problems with the RIU was that it is so far away from anywhere else that it is terrible. I guess that I may have got spoiled being in places like the Turks and Caicos Islands, Guyana, and Aruba, where we could just walk outside of our hotel/resort and walk around the city or town and see some sites or go to a souvenir shop, have a drink, or [View Full Entry]

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. The two main roads are Grace Bay Road, which is where the vast majority of touristy things are, and Leeward Highway. The latter is a very busy highway with very little to no sidewalk to walk on; we know first hand!!!!! The currency that is used on the island is the US Dollar, although Turks and Caicos is still a British Protectorate. Many [View Full Entry]

In August of 2008, we spent one week in Nassau. The hotel that we stayed at was the Wyndham Crystal Palace Hotel and Casino, which is right next door to the Sheraton in the Cable Beach area of Nassau. The resort was just fine, except for the very small and shallow water beach. The swimming pool was large and came equipped with an attended water-slide. There is a large casino on property with a couple of bars in the casino. They use the US dollar often in the Bahamas or the Bahamian dollar, it really doesn't matter at all because they [View Full Entry]

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. Everything that on the mainland of the US is also in Puerto Rico, plus. You name it, it's in Puerto Rico, from Chili's Restaurants, Chicago Uno Pizzeria, casinos huge shopping malls, Wal-Mart, Target, Barnes and Noble. It's all there. 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 [View Full Entry]

Last month, we just got back from Georgetown, Guyana. The vacation that we had there was very interesting. The Guyanese people were very friendly, before we left we had heard that Georgetown was dangerous; we did not experience any problems. The hotel that we stayed at for one week was the Le Meridien Pegasus, which is a division of Starwood Hotels (Sheraton). It is a beautiful hotel that has a very large swimming pool. There are three restaurants at this hotel. The main bar is near the pool and stays open until after midnight. Nearby the hotel is the Palm Court [View Full Entry]

There are several major chains with casinos, such as Marriott, Radisson, the Condado Plaza, and the Diamond Palace Hotel all of which have casinos. The Condado area is very safe, there are police around on motorcycles round the clock; therefore, walking [View Full Entry]

We are going to Aruba in three weeks. My question is besides the most obvious, the beach, booze, casinos, what is there to do in Aruba? For example, are there any tourist type sites and/or attractions? Hoping that we have a great time there. We are flying on US Air from Syracuse, NY (SYR) to Aruba (AUA). [View Full Entry]
